The study sheds light on a crucial protein, PfPPM2, which controls asexual division and switching between the sexual forms in Malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum parasite, both of which are key to disease transmission.
The team observed two merging galaxies and discovered that the energy from a quasar is actively transforming the gas within its companion galaxy, thereby dictating whether new stars can form.
Researchers at IISc conducted a case study of the Koramangala Challaghatta (K&C) Valley project in Karnataka to show how mixing in traditional practices can improve water conservation.
Researchers at IIT Bombay studied how blood drops dried on tilted surfaces and what the cracks that are left behind can tell us about the blood drop.
The new method offers a straightforward approach to imprint the geometric phase from a classical laser beam and transfer it directly onto a pair of entangled photons.
A new study has confirmed that embayed beaches are experiencing critical shoreline retreats, and beaches that have seen significant human-built structures and tourism development have shown more severe erosion.
New research reveals India's shifting climate change risks and resilience, offering a novel framework for other developing nations.
Researchers used a variety of data collected between 2001 and 2015 to study the effect of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) on Surface Air Temperatures in India.
Researchers at IIT Bombay uncover how strain fields produced by embedded inhomogeneities within biomaterials influence cell alignment, reshaping our understanding of cell behaviour in development, disease, and tissue engineering.
