Using computer models, the study found that the Lyapunov exponent, a measure of chaos, scales with the Reynolds number in a specific manner, with a precise value.

Researchers developed computer simulations of the Sun's magnetic engine, known as the solar dynamo, to probe its long-term patterns.

Researchers delved into the curious case of SXP 138, a pulsar in a binary star system whose cosmic clock is not ticking as predictably as expected.

In today’s world, you probably belong to a variety of social networks, like your school friends, family, sports teams, and online communities, where each interaction can be likened to playing a "game" with specific rules and rewards. For instance, you might interact differently with classmates than you do with family members.

Researchers have used a naturally occurring random process to generate random numbers.

Studies have found that dogs tend to be friendlier in areas with frequent human activity. But what about their interaction with individuals of their kind in these areas? Do humans play a role here? A recent study from the Dog Lab IISER Kolkata has delved into the social interactions of dogs amongst themselves and with humans. 

Researchers use new self-assembly techniques to create microstructures that can be used in early detection of Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers show how free-ranging dogs modify their behaviour and personalities based on our presence in urban areas.

In a recent study, researchers from the Indian Institute of Science and Education Research, Kolkata, have investigated the nest architecture of a species of Indian ant, called Diacamma indicum.

Animal behaviour studies, which began in the 1970s, had a rocky start as they were viewed as a deviation from biological studies. They try to answer questions relating to why an animal's behaviour differs with different organisms and environmental factors, and the cost-benefits associated with each behaviour. Such studies help to understand not only the biology of the organism but also its ecological role. In one such study, Dr Anuradha Bhat and her group at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata, have looked at the mating behaviour of zebrafish.
