IIT Hyderabad researchers have developed a novel composite using bacterial cellulose impregnated with silver nanoparticles. The food packaging material has antimicrobial activity and allows appropriate exchange of gases and moisture.…
IIT Guwahati researchers have increased the efficiency of desalination to nearly 84% by using crystalline carbon dots and exposing them to simulated solar conditions. The carbon dots doped with nitrogen, sulphur and…
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…
Researchers from IIT Hyderabad have fabricated an electronic skin (e-skin) using carbon nanotubes deposited on a layer of PVC-free pencil eraser. The e-skin is sensitive and can simultaneously sense pressure…
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…
Electrodes made of copper plates wound with cellulose thread coated with carbon nanotubes for capacitive deionisation and placed close to each other achieved 84% efficiency in ion removal. With power requirement…
A novel drug-delivery system that releases drug at constant rate for extended periods has been developed by IIT Hyderabad researchers. The transdermal patch made of patterned nanofabric and loaded with a…
A team of researchers led by Dr. Aravind Kumar Rengan from IIT Hyderabad is attempting to quantify the visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) technique for cervical cancer so it…
