Professor Khare discusses the vulnerability of research, the charm of number theory, and why mathematics is central to human culture.
Researchers from IIT Bombay and Pennsylvania State University, USA, propose improvements to refine 3D printing using heat. The proposed model can provide accurate processing scenarios for different alloys without trial and error.
कुछ अंतरराष्ट्रीय वैज्ञानिकों के समूह ने हाल ही के एक नए अध्ययन में बिहार में कुष्ठ रोग के निदान के लिए एक सरकारी सहायता प्राप्त कार्यक्रम की कुछ अप्रिय वास्तविकता का खुलासा किया है। साथ ही इस बात का अनुमान लगाया है कि कैसे इस कुष्ठ रोग का सटीक निदान हो सके। ये व
We often hear or read that ‘some species of a bird or animal is going extinct’, or ‘a new species of an amphibian or reptile was discovered in the jungles of the Western Ghats’. However, what exactly do we mean by ‘species’?

In a series of articles, Research Matters tries to explain the commonly accepted process of scientific methodology, the interpretation of scientific studies and the obvious pitfalls. It is hoped that this series will help lay public in analysing any understanding published scientific studies for what they are, instead of believing just because ‘scientists say so’. This article is the first in the series.
A team of the local Idu Mishmi people led by Dr Sahil Nijhawan from ZSL and UCL, placed cameras in the jungles of Dibang Valley, Arunachal Pradesh to understand the distribution of medium and large-sized mammals. Among the images, they found many pictures of differently coloured, medium sized cats—all of which were Asiatic golden cats. The study also marks the first discovery of the tightly-rosetted morph of the golden cats in the world.
Bengaluru, once called the ‘garden city’, has today traded its greenery for the grey tones of cement. The mushrooming buildings have not only changed the city for its human inhabitants but also for animals that once called this land home. Like us, these animals try to adapt to a new and ever-changing world by learning the tricks and trades necessary to thrive. Now, a study by researchers from IISc has discovered that lizards in the city’s suburbs are street smart, and learn faster than their rural brethren, to stay safe.
ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅದೃಶ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ಅಪಾಯವನ್ನೊಡ್ಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ವಾಯುಮಾಲಿನ್ಯವು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮತ್ತು ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಆದಾಯದ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಜಾಗತಿಕ ಆರೋಗ್ಯದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ದುಷ್ಪರಿಣಾಮವನ್ನು ಬೀರುತ್ತಿದೆ. ವಿಶ್ವದಲ್ಲಿನ 15 ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಕಲುಷಿತ ನಗರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾರತವೊಂದೇ 14 ನಗರಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ.
சிலவகை பல்லிகளில் காணப்படும் வரிகளும் வண்ணமிகு வால்களும், அவற்றை தங்கள் கொன்றுண்ணிகளிடமிருந்து தற்காத்துக்கொள்ள பயன்படுவதாக கண்டறிந்துள்ளது ஆய்வு!
The monsoon is here; humming with the pouring rain are the croaks of frogs, for it is the season of love for most of them. But not for Micryletta aishani, the newest of the frogs discovered from the state of Assam. Unlike most frogs that breed during the monsoon, this elusive frog breeds before the onset of monsoon and then goes into hiding for the rest of the year. The discovery is the result of six years of extensive fieldwork in the northeastern states of India by a team of researchers from the University of Delhi, Wildlife Institute of India, Indonesian Institute of Sciences and the University of Texas at Arlington, USA.
