மும்பை ஐஐடி மற்றும் இந்திய ரயில்வே ஆராய்ச்சியாளர்கள், ரயில்வேயின் செயல்திறனை மேலும் அதிகரிக்க, வாரத்தின் சில நாட்களில் மட்டுமே இயக்கப்படும் ரயில்களை ஒரே குழுவாக இணைத்து, திட்டமிடலில் ஒரு புதிய மாற்றத்தைக் கொண்டுவந்துள்ளனர்
In a recent study, researchers explore the effects of frost and freezing temperatures, a characteristic feature of montane shola-grassland ecosystems, on the native and non-native trees of these forests.
The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojna (PMUY) proved to be very attractive and has reached 80 million low-income families across the country. However, can we call it successful merely based on the number of people it has covered? A study, published by researchers from Canada, Austria, and the USA, compared the enrolment for the Ujjwala program and the trend of LPG consumption in rural Karnataka and found that although the scheme was successful in delivering its promises, it's success has been a topic of national debate.
An emerging way to treat cancer is immunotherapy, where the patient’s immune system is strengthened to attack cancer cells. It is less painful than surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and is known to lower the relapse of cancer. Now, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) have developed a patented technology to leverage the patient’s immune system to cure cancer.
In a recent study, published in the journal Ecosphere, researchers from Columbia University, USA, and Nature Conservation Foundation, Mysore, have assessed the effects of active restoration in fragmented rainforests of the Western Ghats.
In an event today, Prof. K VijayRaghavan, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, launched a national program to foster cross-disciplinary leadership in India. Named the EChO Network, it focuses on increasing research, knowledge, and awareness of Indian ecology and the environment. It is hoped that this program would develop a national network to catalyse a new generation of Indians who can solve real-world problems in medicine, agriculture, ecology, and technology.
கடந்த 2019 பிப்ரவரி மாதம், மேற்கு வங்கத்தின் ஜார்கிராம் மாவட்டத்திலுள்ள மூன்று கிராமங்களைச் சேர்ந்த எட்டு நபர்களை ஓநாய் ஒன்று தாக்கியதால், அப்பகுதி மக்கள் பீதி அடைந்தனர்.
Graphene, a sheet-like form of carbon, has been hailed as a wonder material owing to its many promising applications in electronics, drug delivery and more. In a recent study, a team of scientists from India and the USA, led by Prof Srinivasan Raghavan and Prof Rudra Pratap from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, has paved the way for new applications of graphene by intentionally varying the defects formed during its production.
दक्षिण भारत, जो अभी चिलचिलाती गर्मी से पीड़ित है और मानसून का इंतजार कर रहा है जिसे जून के महीने में कुछ राहत मिल सकती है, लेकिन ऐसा लगता है कि यह प्रतीक्षा अधिक लम्बी और असुखमय होगी। एक प्रेस विज्ञप्ति में, भारतीय मौसम विभाग (आईएमडी) ने घोषणा की है कि पूरे देश में, दक्षिण-पश्चिम मानसून वर्षा “सामान्य” रूप से होने की संभावना है। यह भविष्यवाणी करता है कि मात्रात्मक र
Delhi’s winter haze is infamous for disrupting the air, railway and road traffic. With visibility dropping to near zero on a few days, life-threatening accidents spike during this season. Animals, on the other hand, seem to have a trick up their sleeves—they use sounds or visual cues to help them ‘see’ through low-visibility conditions. But what about fish? Can they navigate through turbid waters? Indeed, says a study by researchers at two Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs), Mohali and Kolkata. The researchers have shown, for the first time, how zebrafish find food in turbid waters.
