New research reveals that cultural tolerance and political pressure, rather than just biological science, dictate the life or death of tigers in India and wolves in Germany.
Study shows how the structure of the networks that quantum particles travel through affects their properties, like coherence. Could lead to better designs for quantum devices.
The study sheds light on a crucial protein, PfPPM2, which controls asexual division and switching between the sexual forms in Malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum parasite, both of which are key to disease transmission.
Today, I complete 15 years as a faculty member at IISER-Pune. I have attempted to put together a list of some lessons (based on my previous writings) that I have learnt so far.
A new study identifies a unique signature for detecting magnetic black holes and places a strict upper limit on their number.
A new study brings attention to a different type of glacier - Rock glaciers, which are landforms composed of rocks and ice, and their importance.
In a quest to address the global challenge of depleting natural gold mines and e-waste, scientists from the Indian Institute of Science and Education and Research, Pune (IISER Pune), Advanced Bio-Agro Tech Pvt. Ltd and CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory have engineered a novel material that promises to significantly improve how we recover gold from old electronics. They have designed a zirconium-based aerogel that is capable of capturing gold ions from solutions, even when present in ultra-trace amounts.
Study finds the macro role of microRNA in fighting viral infections and its dark side in autoimmune diseases
Study finds a molecular switch for feeding and fasting could hold clue to obesity and aging.
In a recent study published in the Behavioral Ecology journal, Dr Anand Krishnan from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, studied birds’ singing activity and changes in the community structure of singing birds, before and after the arrival of migrant birds. The findings serve as a framework for monitoring rapidly-changing urban habitats through vocal birds and their singing behaviour.
