Despite successful bans on the veterinary drug diclofenac in Nepal and parts of India, a decade-long undercover investigation reveals that toxic alternatives like flunixin and nimesulide are rapidly replacing it, posing a renewed existential threat to the region’s critically endangered vulture populations.
Lichens are proving to be sensitive indicators of climate change in the Himalayas, with their unique traits revealing shifts in temperature and precipitation.
Researchers studied how the electrical and optical behaviour of a sheet of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) changed with temperature and explored the role of imperfections in its electrical and optical properties.
IISc researhers have developed a Natural Resource Rich Regions ranking method to identify and rank areas rich in natural resources, crucial for effective conservation and sustainable development.
New research reveals that a unique Indian skink species arrived on the subcontinent by rafting across the ocean from Southeast Asia millions of years ago, a journey made possible by fluctuating sea levels.
New research compares two methods for keeping spacecraft in stable halo orbits near Earth Lagrange Point L1, finding the best approach depends on how much the spacecraft is nudged off course.
