New research reveals that cultural tolerance and political pressure, rather than just biological science, dictate the life or death of tigers in India and wolves in Germany.
Untreated stream water acts as a critical environmental reservoir, enriching the human gut with resistance genes to metals and biocides, while tubewell use drives a greater focus on traditional drug resistance.
A new study from arid Bikaner in Rajasthan has demonstrated a novel, farm-level strategy to tackle the interconnected crises of water scarcity, energy demand, and climate change. It demonstrates that simple changes to crop choice and soil management can dramatically improve the sustainability of farming systems.
The study found that the protein Tropomodulin-1 (TMOD1) and the FGFR-ERK signalling pathway are the essential molecular machinery that physically separates a mature Hydra bud from its parent.
A novel, beam-splitter-free architecture uses a single laser to create three entangled photon sources, allowing for simultaneous high-speed random bit generation and real-time security certification via the Bell test.
The strictly carnivorous Pallid and Montagu's Harriers are confirmed to be crucial secondary seed dispersers in India, rescuing viable seeds from the digestive tracts of their prey and playing an important role in maintaining the biodiversity of threatened grassland ecosystems.
A metal- and additive-free, one-pot reaction achieves the highly sought-after meta-C-S bond formation on anilines, yielding potent S-aryl dithiocarbamates that disrupt breast cancer cell division.
A novel AI-driven system offers educators and learners a dynamic, visual understanding of individual knowledge assimilation, moving beyond traditional grading.
Coastal erosion and the proliferation of seawalls, exacerbated by climate change and human activity, are rapidly eliminating critical nesting habitats for sea turtles along the Karnataka coast.
An IIT Bombay study using satellite data shows rising greenhouse gas levels over Delhi and Mumbai and also identifies emission hotspots in these cities.
