IISc researchers found that certain regions of the genome rich in four-stranded DNA — G-quadruplexes (G4-DNA) — are more resistant to radiation damage. As a result, there are fewer DNA breaks…
NPL researchers have synthesised a security ink that emits intense red colour due to fluorescence when exposed to 254 nm wavelength UV and emits green colour due to phosphorescence soon…
Researchers from CCMB and other international institutions have found that socio-cultural factors had a bigger influence on skin colour variation in Indians than genetics (6.4%) and environmental factors (16%). While the…
Tamil Nadu will become the first State in the country to virtually connect all 58 CT and 18 MRI machines located in different government hospitals in the State. The fully…
IIT Gandhinagar researchers have successfully produced large quantity of a biologically active protein involved in DNA damage response pathway in breast and prostate cancer cells. A handful of small molecules synthesised by them…
The wearable WiMAX antenna is flexible, light weight and operates at around 3.37 GHertz. Since copper ink used for screen printing can get oxidised, the researchers used silver ink for printing…
