Scientists from ICAR-NDRI, Karnal, have observed the competition between our natural gut bacteria and pathogenic bacteria closely. They have identified some proteins involved in this interaction and have also produced microbeads, embedded with these proteins, that have the potential for oral administration to fight pathogenic bacteria.
Researchers from IIT Kharagpur, IISc and ISRO have discovered that balancing microscopic nanoparticles with flexible metallic structures allows ultra-low carbon steel to achieve a mix of extreme strength and crack resistance.
