IIT Madras researchers have used a green oxidant and water (instead of organic acid) for converting petroleum waste toluene into benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is used as a food preservative and…
Researchers from IIT Madras and Sankara Nethralaya have identified biochemical pathways that retinoblastoma (eye cancer) preferentially chooses for growth and survival. They found amino acids are a major source of…
IIT Madras researchers have produced in the lab methane and carbon dioxide hydrates by simulating the low temperature and pressure conditions seen in deep space. The work raises the possibility…
IIT Madras researchers have discovered that atoms of nanoparticles made of two silver isotopes having just 25 atoms each rapidly exchanged their positions when the isotopes are mixed in solution.…
IIT Madras researchers have used a novel approach to analyse various saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons directly from solutions. Using the novel technique, the researchers could detect paraffin oil in coconut oil.…
The International Conference on Translational Cancer Research sponsored by IIT Madras, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas and the Society for Translational Cancer Research and to be held in Chennai…
The superhydrophobic coating exhibits a water contact angle of more than 160 degrees. It has high mechanical durability and chemical stability, and can be coated or spray painted on any surface including…
A rice variety originally from West Bengal is able to accumulate high concentration of the metal in its grain. It is a rice variety with a silver touch, literally. Garib-sal…
