Researchers at IISER Kolkata have used a paper coated with nickel nanoparticles and model catalysts to split water to produce hydrogen gas. The flexible electrodes recorded 98% water-splitting efficiency and…
The neural mechanism that signals thirst and the thirst inhibitory neurons which signal to stop drinking have been deciphered. The research unravels how the thirst inhibitory neurons signal to stop…
Using an artificial intelligence-based algorithm that uses scattered light data from tissues, researchers from IISER Kolkata and IIT Kanpur have been able to differentiate normal and precancerous tissue, and even…
The compound synthesised by IISER Kolkata researchers can reduce copper, mercury, cadmium and iron content in drinking water to below 2 ppb, which is far below the WHO limit for…
The multipurpose hybrid material prevents E. coli growth and is hydrophobic. Now, paper or other materials coated with a hydrophobic hybrid molecular material synthesised by researchers at the Indian Institute…
Early diagnosis of certain eye diseases and studying the early progression of the diseases has now become possible, thanks to the work carried out by a team of researchers from…
Targeted delivery of anticancer drugs exclusively to cancer cells and controlled release of the drugs in a sustained manner inside cancer cells has been achieved by a group of researchers…
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata have used human hair to produce cost-effective, metal-free cathodes for use in solar cells. This is the first…
