In a new study, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, have designed a biosensor using gold nanoparticles that can identify the presence of a protein called alpha-synuclein. The newly developed biosensor uses optical fibres to identify these proteins even in very low concentrations and can do so in just 15 minutes of time.
An IIT Bombay study using satellite data shows rising greenhouse gas levels over Delhi and Mumbai and also identifies emission hotspots in these cities.
