Tabletop robot twins unlock the mystery of how microbes perform the run-and-tumble motion
Researchers successfully developed a robotic model that spontaneously generates tunable and accurate run-and-tumble dynamics, similar to those of swimming microbes.
Sunlight-charged, wearable “Thermal Battery”
From light to logic: Ultrafast quantum switching in 2D materials
Scientists have found a way to use light to control and read tiny quantum states inside atom-thin materials. The simple technique could pave the way for computers that are dramatically faster and consume far less power than today’s electronics.
New study shows how the ancient Martian climate changed with time in the Thaumasian Highlands region on Mars
New evidence from Martian valley networks confirms a gradual climate shift from warm and wet during the Noachian period, around 4 billion years ago, to cold and icy by the Hesperian period, around 3 billion years ago.
TB bacteria's Tough Armor: A Cellular Shield Against Treatment
Nanotatrapods as flowmakers for plastic melts
Acollaborative study by IIT researchers shows that adding tetrapod-shaped nanoparticles to certain synthetic plastics can make them less sticky and easier to process
Hidden blood markers may explain diabetes risks in India
Researchers find early warning signs of diabetic kidney disease and pave the way for personalised treatment.
Single-Step Method to Make High-Performance Nanoparticle-Coated Microfibres
The IIT Bombay method to coat microfibres with nanoparticles, while they are forming, ensures uniform coating and better performance
Predicting the Plot: Microbes Hint at Evolution’s Unsolved Question
Researchers replicate evolution in the lab using microbes and feeding them with subtly different sugars, and observing how their adaptations diverge
Researchers Develop A Smart Irrigation Plan to Save 10-30% of Irrigation Water in Drought-Prone Regions
Researchers combine weather forecasts, satellite soil moisture data, and a computer simulation for efficient irrigation water management at district and sub-district scales.
