A collaborative study by IIT researchers shows that adding tetrapod-shaped nanoparticles to certain synthetic plastics can make them less sticky and easier to process
A revision of the tiny, elusive bush frogs of Northeast India has led to the formal description of 13 new species, boosting the region's known amphibian diversity.
Researchers used the f(R, L, T) gravity framework and the Van der Waals equation of state to create a mathematically sound model that, crucially, shows strong resistance to collapse.
Padubidri V. Shivaprasad was awarded the prize for pioneering an out-of-the-box solution to the global food crisis: teaching rice to be wild again.
Researchers have identified a new species of giant deep-sea squid, Taningia silasii, from the southeastern Arabian Sea.
Researchers have developed a computer model using the agent-based simulation framework, BharatSim, to simulate a potential H5N1 bird flu outbreak in a realistic South Asian community.
India's poorest students are closing the STEM gap, but a strong gender bias and the high cost of private colleges continue to block equitable access to 'high-value' science and technology degrees.
Researchers found that the Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) machine learning model is the most reliable tool for forecasting seasonal Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), an important parameter for assessing the available solar resource.
The study showed that control for singlet fission lies not in the energy of individual molecules, but in the distance and electronic coupling of the molecular paired structure.
Researchers found that urban female sparrows invest more time and energy into parental care than their rural counterparts, yet have significantly lower reproductive success.
