Research reveals that graphene-enhanced batteries can slash electric vehicle charging times by up to 27% while cutting battery weight by more than half, potentially solving the biggest hurdles to green transportation.
In a recent study researchers have assessed the ability of natural forest species and single-species (monoculture) plantations to capture and store carbon over a long period.
Searching for mates and predation risk can alter spatial interactions between tree crickets and green lynx spiders.
Scientists study evolution of liquids on spherical surfaces and their properties.
Study has found that the lockdown widened the challenges of stroke care in the country.
Scientists used mathematical models and satellite data to understand how seed dispersal from forest trees helps in maintaining the savanna–forest boundaries.

Thus hath the candle sing'd the moth.
O, these deliberate fools! When they do choose,
They have the wisdom by their wit to lose.
Scientists have successfully grown Indian isolates of P. vivax in different types of human liver cells.
In 2013, over 50 infants died in Attapadi —a protected area in the Palakkad district of Kerala. This incident, and more deaths in the subsequent years, put the spotlight on the health of the tribal population that lives here. Several underlying health issues, including malnutrition and infant mortality, were identified to be rampant. Both the central and state governments responded with a financial package to provide healthcare and related facilities to these communities free of cost. Seven years later, a new study has found that free healthcare hasn't solved the problem of poor access to healthcare and high levels of infant mortality.
Scientists around the world have been actively looking for eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemical-based batteries. In one such effort, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) have designed a micro-combustor that is efficient and environment-friendly. The study, funded by the Science and Engineering Board (SERB) and Department of Science and Technology (DST), has been published in various journals including Applied Physics Letters, Energy Conversion and Management, and Applied Energy.
Scientists use a combination of global and local data to predict flood hazard in risk-prone villages.
