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.…
JNCASR scientists have developed a novel material — silver copper telluride — that can be used as a thermoelectric material as it has poor thermal conductivity but good electrical conductivity. With a…
IIT Bombay researchers have fabricated an inexpensive, flexible sensor that can be used as a word-recognition device, for measuring blood pulse rate and monitoring respiration in real time. The sensor also…
IIT Delhi researchers have through tissue engineering developed a 3D scar-tissue model for screening cosmetics and drugs. The scar model is capable of replicating all the five features that cause scar…
For the first time an Indian philanthropic organisation will be funding science to combat infectious diseases. The India Health Fund (IHF), an initiative by Tata Trusts, in collaboration with the…
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…
IIT Delhi researchers have used microgels to encapsulate bacteria of interest and carbon dots. Carbon dots indicate bacterial growth through a change in emission ratio in response to a change…
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…
