A new review reveals that rising global temperatures, increased pollution, and extreme weather events are driving a global surge in eye diseases, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities and challenging healthcare systems.
Physicists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have discovered that pure mathematical formulae developed by Srinivasa Ramanujan over a century ago for calculating the value of pi are fundamentally connected to modern high-energy physics.
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.
Researchers studied how the electrical and optical behaviour of a sheet of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) changed with temperature and explored the role of imperfections in its electrical and optical properties.
IISc researhers have developed a Natural Resource Rich Regions ranking method to identify and rank areas rich in natural resources, crucial for effective conservation and sustainable development.
Automated analysis of microscopic images offers a powerful new tool for predicting and managing under-deposit corrosion in critical industrial systems.
New study uses ideas from string theory and quantum field theory to simplify calculations of transcendental numbers, like pi and Euler’s Zeta function.
In a recent study published in the journal General and Comparative Endocrinology, researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have described how urbanisation is shaping the social behaviour and strategies of lizards. The researchers conducted their studies on the South Indian rock agama (Psammophilus dorsalis), a common resident of rocky hills in South India.
Science realises its complete potential when it is applied for the betterment of our lives. As a testimony to this, a group of researchers from the Indian Institute of Science have developed innovative technologies that benefit milk producers and silk growers. Their innovations, which recently won the prestigious Gandhian Young Technological Innovation award, uses nanotechnology to detect melamine, an adulterant, in milk and image processing techniques to detect the quality of silk.
This 22nd of March, on the occasion of World Water Day, Research Matters caught up with Prof MS Mohan Kumar, a Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. He is also the Chairman of the Indo-French Cell for Water Resources and an Associate Faculty at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Water Research (ICWaR) at IISc and an ex-Secretary of the Karnataka State Council for Science & Technology. Apart from his role at the institute, Prof. Kumar has also extensively worked with government bodies such as the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board (KUWSDB) and Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).
