In a new study, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and the Institute of Pulmocare and Research, Kolkata, have developed a new, efficient method to detect asthma—by listening to the sound made by the lungs of the patients. Their findings were published in the journal Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine.
Researchers from IIT Kharagpur, IISc and ISRO have discovered that balancing microscopic nanoparticles with flexible metallic structures allows ultra-low carbon steel to achieve a mix of extreme strength and crack resistance.
