Researchers at CSMCRI have used functionalised seaweed nanocomposite to remove lead and chromium from wastewater. The adsorbed lead did not leach out even in low pH conditions. The nanocomposite was…
A year after the National Green Tribunal suspended the environmental clearance granted to the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO), the Expert Appraisal Committee (Infra 2) of the Ministry of Environment, Forests…
IIT Guwahati researchers have developed a superhydrophobic coating that can make the surface behave like a lotus leaf where water droplets roll off easily or a rose petal where the droplets stick…
Very heavy rainfall lasting for a few hours in urban locations in India has become more intense in the last few decades. Its frequency has increased by two-fold between 1979-2015.…
Using magnetic nanofluid emulsion functionalised with certain macromolecules (polymers) IGCAR researchers have developed an optical probe that can in less than a second detect the presence of urea in a very broad…
Urbanisation of Bhubaneswar, a tier-2 city in Odisha, India, has been rapid at 83% in the last 15 years (2000-2014) and this has led to about 89% decrease in dense…
Research at IISER Pune have synthesised a new type of anode material that offers promise of a battery that can be charged quickly and retain the charge for longer duration…
Polystyrene gets dissolved almost instantly in a solution of orange peel extract that is obtained by squeezing the orange peels. The polystyrene dissolved in the extract is drawn into fibres using wet/solution spinning…
