ICAR has developed two new genome-edited rice varieties – DRR Rice 100 (Kamla) and Pusa DST Rice 1 using genome-editing technology based on CRISPR-Cas9, which makes precise changes in the organism's genetic material without adding foreign DNA.

Researchers undertook a comprehensive snow leopard survey covering 59,000 square kilometres of Ladakh's terrain using camera traps and field surveys.
Breast cancer remains a significant challenge, particularly in aggressive forms like triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This is a type of breast cancer where the tumour cells lack hormonal receptors, like estrogen receptors. This means that common breast cancer treatments targeting these receptors are not effective against TNBC, making it more challenging to treat and prone to spreading. Scientists are constantly searching for new ways to target the underlying mechanisms that allow these cancer cells to grow and spread unchecked.
A study by a team at IIT Bombay and their collaborators reveals how the majority of commercial use plastic degrades into micro and nano plastic particles.
Scientists from the ALICE collaboration at the LHC have announced the first evidence for antihyperhelium-4 nucleus detection.
Researchers model a non-ideal magnetic gas filled with tiny dust particles to find how shockwaves travel through them.
This World Migratory Bird Day, learn about some of the annual avian visitors to India. In keeping with the theme of 2025 --Creating Bird-Friendly Cities & Communities--let us work to make our ecosystems more welcoming. In recent years, many migratory bird species have given India a miss due to shrinking habitats and worsening pollution. Now is the time to act and make our neighbourhoods livable for our annual visitors and everyone.
New research shows how tiny saliva, hair, or scat traces can accurately identify individual carnivores, paving the way for smarter conflict resolution.
Researchers study how auditory epithelial cells in chicks simultaneously coordinate position and orientation to arrange themselves lining the inner ear.
Researchers studied how these highly arboreal (tree-dwelling) primates, who are under pressure from human activity, actually use the space around them.
