आयआयटी मुंबईच्या संशोधकांनी भारतातील मकराणा संगमरवरापासून बनवलेल्या वास्तू सुरक्षित ठेवण्याच्या उद्देशाने उष्णतेमुळे होणाऱ्या क्षयाचे अनुकरण करणारी एक कार्यपद्धती आणि मापन संबंधीचा एक महत्त्वपूर्ण परस्परसंबंध विकसित केला आहे.
In a recent study, researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, have shown that the release of calcium from the neurons in specific synapses promotes their reuse.
In a new study, the researchers from the Raman Research Institute (RRI), Bengaluru, in collaboration with researchers from France and Chile, provide us with an understanding of the physical forces that drive axonal beading and retraction. The findings could hold new insights on understanding neurodegeneration. The results of the study, funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), are published in the Biophysical Journal.
‘ಸಗಣಿ’ ಜೀರುಂಡೆಗಳು ಆಕರ್ಷಕ ಜೀವಿಗಳು. ಇವು ಪ್ರಾಣಿಗಳ ಸಗಣಿಗಳನ್ನು ಆಹಾರವಾಗಿ ಸೇವಿಸುತ್ತವೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅದರಿಂದ ಅವುಗಳ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪೋಷಕಾಂಶಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಸಣ್ಣ ಜೀರುಂಡೆಗಳು, ಸಗಣಿಯನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ರಚನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ಫಲವತ್ತತೆಯನ್ನು ಸುಧಾರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
In India, one woman dies of cervical cancer every 8 minutes, and for every two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one succumbs to it. In 2018, all over the country, 7,84,821 people lost their lives to cancer. Numerous scientific research is underway to discover new and improved drugs for cancer. Chemotherapy, where anti-cancer drugs are administered to kill cancerous cells, is one of the traditional and most successful treatment methods. In a recent study, Dr Sumit Ghosh, from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, discusses cisplatin, the first-ever metal-based drug used in chemotherapy.

In a recent study, scientists from the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, have found a new species of earth-boring dung beetle in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh during one of their field expeditions. Named after the district it was discovered in, Enoplotrupes tawangensis belongs to the family Geotrupidae.
Lectures on Probability and Stochastic processes (LPS), an annual workshop for early-career young researchers in India, begins in the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Delhi today. The workshop, in its fourteenth year, focuses on the latest advancements in the field of Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.
Since 2012, six bridges have collapsed in Mumbai, killing 28 people and injuring hundreds. Often, news of flyovers and pedestrian bridges tumbling down have made it to the headlines across the country. Although durable materials like steel and concrete are used in today’s structures, poor quality of construction and lack of maintenance are often blamed for such catastrophes. Contrast this with the rock-solid centuries-old root bridges found in Meghalaya—many as old as 250 years and still growing strong—built without modern tools or design. Could the structure of these bridges unravel architectural clues for urban construction? In a recent study, researchers from Germany and the USA have tried to understand the morphology and structure of these root bridges, built out of the aerial roots of strangler figs, and that have endured floods, earthquakes, landslides and fires.
Our genetic material is a big molecule of DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, whose structure is a double-stranded wound-up helix. It contains specific instructions that run a living cell, and these instructions are written on the strands. When cells divide, the DNA replicates too.
ಗೆದ್ದಲುಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಸಂಘಟನೆ, ವಾಸ್ತುಶಿಲ್ಪ ವಿನ್ಯಾಸ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕುಖ್ಯಾತವಾಗಿ ಕೀಟಗಳಾಗಿ ಹೆಸರುವಾಸಿ. ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ, ಈ ವರೆಗೆ ವರ್ಣಿಸಲಾದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಪ್ರಭೇದಗಳು ಹಾನಿ ಉಂಟು ಮಾಡುವ ವರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
