Maharashtra

A team of researchers has discovered a new species of wildflower tucked away on the sun-drenched, rocky plateaus of Maharashtra’s Konkan region.

Mumbai

Researchers have discovered that farmers in Central India who switch to natural methods experience a significant boost in community support and dietary health without sacrificing their financial stability.

Hyderabad

Researchers have developed a novel deep-learning architecture that generates high-quality synthetic images of rare land covers to eliminate bias and drastically improve the accuracy of environmental monitoring systems.

Arunachal Pradesh

A team of researchers have discovered a new species of ginger hidden in the lush, remote Siang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh. Named Parakaempferia alba, the plant was identified by researchers from the CSIR-North East Institute of Science and Technology and local colleges. The discovery, published in the Nordic Journal of Botany, marks a major milestone for the region’s biodiversity, as it is only the second species ever found within its specific genus.

Mumbai

Researchers successfully developed a robotic model that spontaneously generates tunable and accurate run-and-tumble dynamics, similar to those of swimming microbes.

Faridabad

Researchers have identified urban sewage as a critical hotspot for the evolution and spread of drug-resistant bacteria, highlighting an urgent need for nationwide wastewater monitoring to prevent future health crises.

Hyderabad

Researchers from BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad, have developed a safer, fluoride-free synthesis method for metal-organic frameworks that significantly boosts their capacity to capture greenhouse gases and store clean fuels at room temperature.

Mizoram

A team of international researchers has discovered seven species of land snails previously unknown to science during an expedition to the 'Blue Mountain' of Mizoram, a remote region in northeastern India.

Dehradun

Researchers from WII Dehradun have developed high-precision, low-cost mitochondrial markers that allow them to accurately identify rhesus macaques from hair and faecal samples, even in habitats shared with nearly identical species.

New Delhi

Researchers from ICAR-IARI have developed a highly sensitive, field-deployable LAMP assay that identifies the invasive melon fly in under an hour using simple visual colour changes, providing a robust new tool for global biosecurity.
