Researchers discover a visibly different individual of the Eastern Ghats cricket frogs, in the Western Ghats
Changing habitats force Western Ghats’ endemic lion-tailed macaques to alter their social structure to adapt, putting them at risk, finds study.
Researchers show strange patterns in the flow of soft polycrystals
Study calculates vulnerability indices of districts in India for future planning.
An emerging way to treat cancer is immunotherapy, where the patient’s immune system is strengthened to attack cancer cells. It is less painful than surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and is known to lower the relapse of cancer. Now, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) have developed a patented technology to leverage the patient’s immune system to cure cancer.
Differences in the composition of Saw-scaled viper venoms from three regions questions the use of a single antivenom
In a recent study, researchers from IIT Bombay have developed a planning and scheduling framework for water distribution through tankers from water sources to water treatment facilities and consumers while making the cost of delivery affordable.
Researchers devise a new technique to speed up processing electronic signals at significantly lower costs.
Prof Bhaskaran Muralidharan and Dr Alestin Mawrie of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have researched a specific category of two-dimensional nanomaterials, called semi-Dirac materials. Their theoretical studies show that it is possible to engineer semi-Dirac materials to make optical filters and efficient thermoelectric nanodevices.
