Researchers at IIT Guwahati have discovered that while drought shrinks the vertical water channels in plants, it triggers a structural adaptation that boosts the efficiency of sideways water transport, ensuring survival in dry conditions.
Study analyses what drives the choice of transport to shopping malls in Mumbai.

ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಸಿಂಧೂ ನಾಗರಿಕತೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ಸುಮಾರು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತ ಪೂರ್ವ ಮೂರನೇ ಸಹಸ್ರಮಾನದ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಪುರಾತನ ಕಂಚಿನ ಯುಗದ ನಾಗರಿಕತೆಯು, ವಾಯುವ್ಯ ಏಷ್ಯಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಹೊಂದಿತು. ಈ ನಾಗರಿಕತೆಯು ಉತ್ತಮವಾದ ಹಗೇವು (ಧಾನ್ಯಾಗಾರ)ಗಳು, ಒಳಚರಂಡಿ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಮತ್ತು ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಿತವಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗಿದ್ದ ನಗರಗಳಾದ ಹರಪ್ಪಾ ಮತ್ತು ಮೊಹೆಂಜೊದಾರೊಗಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ.
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) seem to have a technological solution to this problem. Led by Prof Maryam Shojaei Baghini, researchers from IIT Bombay and Gauhati University, have designed a robust, accurate and affordable soil moisture sensor using graphene oxide.
तीव्र हवामान विषयक इशाऱ्यांना मच्छीमार कसा प्रतिसाद देतात आणि हवामान बदलांमुळे होणाऱ्या दुष्परिणामांना कसे सामोरे जातात याचा अभ्यास संशोधकांनी केला.
In a recent study, scientists have discovered two new species in the Western Ghats of Kerala, India. To date, this group of termites has been documented only in the Western Ghats of India. The termite species were named after Sri K.A. Dineshan and Sri. Manikandan Nair of the Zoological Survey of India, Kozhikode, who collected the samples from the field and contributed greatly to the entire faunal survey.
Researchers estimate that half of these deaths, resulting in India and China, can be prevented.
Insects encompass a few of the most intelligent animals such as bees which have the ability to solve problems, socialize, form memories and even use symbolic language to communicate. Plants and many of these insects have evolved together over 400 million years.
We all know that the geometric object of minimal surface area amongst all shapes with a fixed volume is the round ball, whose boundary is spherical. Water blobs try to minimise surface area and curl into spherical droplets. The physical problem of surface-area minimisation is thus quite well understood. What about the opposite problem of surface-area maximisation?
