Researchers at IIT Guwahati have discovered that while drought shrinks the vertical water channels in plants, it triggers a structural adaptation that boosts the efficiency of sideways water transport, ensuring survival in dry conditions.
New research in Bengaluru reveals that unchecked urban growth, replacing natural landscapes with concrete, dramatically intensifies urban heat islands, underscoring the critical need for green spaces and water bodies to maintain livable temperatures.
Researchers explored how extra hot days, called temperature shocks, are directly linked to household water poverty.
Researchers study how relative humidity, temperature and dew point temperature are related to spread of tuberculosis infections
An international team of scientists study how temperature over India has changed over the span of 7 decades and point of the role of geography in changing temperatures.
Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur have developed a model to select the ideal combinations of temperature and pressure conditions to inactivate fruit-degrading enzymes during the processing of mango pulp.
Sex determination in animals is an interesting topic. While the X and Y chromosomes decide the sex of an unborn baby in humans and most other mammals, external factors like temperature and humidity decide it for the crocodiles and turtles. But what decides the sex of a young zebrafish? Research now shows that a combination of internal and external factors play a role in determining sex in zebrafish. Understanding the process in depth can throw light on some of the intricate workings of nature, say the researchers.
