Researchers at IIT Guwahati have discovered that while drought shrinks the vertical water channels in plants, it triggers a structural adaptation that boosts the efficiency of sideways water transport, ensuring survival in dry conditions.

New research reveals how specially designed porous walls can significantly reduce the impact of ocean waves on floating structures, paving the way for safer and more resilient offshore engineering.

They used computer simulations to design a microchip with micro-channels and then separate the different cells in the blood into the channels with Dielectrophoresis

Researchers have used machine learning and optimization tools to create new super-alloys without any rare and expensive materials.

Researchers from CSIR – Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati and MNR Dental College & Hospital, Hyderabad have developed an electrochemical nanobiosensor that can efficiently diagnose invasive aspergillosis

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati have developed a genetically modified variety of cowpea resistant to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus. Since the legume grain is one of the major sources of protein for a section of the country’s population, this discovery is important to ensure that the yield of the crops is not affected.

Can insects help us decipher how molecules behave? Yes, say scientists from Department of Chemistry of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, IIT Kanpur, IIT Guwahati and Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata. In a recent study, they have described how the concept of ‘swarm intelligence’ can be used to determine the most stable configuration of a molecule and its electronic structure. With this knowledge as base, scientists can design molecules such as drugs, vaccines and polymers with targeted properties.
