Researchers from BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad, have developed a safer, fluoride-free synthesis method for metal-organic frameworks that significantly boosts their capacity to capture greenhouse gases and store clean fuels at room temperature.
A recent study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has shed light on how this glucose traffic management goes wrong in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), offering exciting new possibilities for treatment.
In a recent study, researchers from Christ (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru, have developed a technique to make fluorescent carbon nanoparticles using lignite, a type of coal that is available ubiquitously. These nanoparticles have the potential to be developed as glucose sensors to detect hypoglycemia or decreased glucose levels.The results of the study have been published in the journal Scientific Reports.
Researchers from Indian Institute of Technology Indore have demonstrated a new, ultrasensitive glucose sensor, made of nanopetals of Nickel Oxide (NiO). The new device has shown robustness and very high sensitivity, while utilizing very little power.
India as a nation is no stranger to the epidemic of diabetes. Most of us would know of someone in our extended group of family and friends, who is suffering from this ‘silent killer’ disease.
