The revised article posted in arXiv on May 21 by IISc researchers led by Prof. Anshu Pandey strengthens the claim of achieving superconductivity at ambient temperature and pressure. About the identical noise in measurements made under different conditions, the researchers say it suggests a possible physical origin related to the sample as opposed to instrument … Continue reading Finally, IISc team confirms breakthrough in superconductivity at room temperature

Multidrug-resistant microbe repository to come up at NCCS
NCCS will soon start receiving and preserving multidrug-resistant bacteria and fungi from across the country. A decision is yet to be taken on microbes resistant to which antibiotics should be accepted. Samples collected from across the country will reveal how MDR microbes spread and evolve with time. Soon, the Pune-based National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS) … Continue reading Multidrug-resistant microbe repository to come up at NCCS
Open Access: The sorry state of Indian repositories
India may not have a national Open Access policy in place, but the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), The Department of Science & Technology (DST), the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), The University Grants Commission (UGC) have Open Access policies that clearly mandate researchers to deposit their papers in … Continue reading Open Access: The sorry state of Indian repositories
