Team L&M A team of scientists have used tea and banana waste to prepare non-toxic activated carbon, which is useful for several purposes like industrial pollution control, water purification, food and beverage processing, and odour removal. The newly developed process avoids usage of any toxic agent for synthesizing activated carbon, thus making the product cost-effective […]Read More
Team L&M Indian researchers have developed a unique technology for direct generation of Hydrogen from agricultural residue. A team of researchers from Agharkar Research Institute (ARI), Pune, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science & Technology (DST), GOI, in collaboration with Sentient labs of KPIT Technologies, have developed this technology at lab-scale to extract […]Read More
Team L&M For the first time, a team of scientists have developed a large-scale reactor which produces a substantial amount of hydrogen using sustainable sources like sunlight and water, which is a cost-effective and sustainable process. This feat has been achieved by Dr Kamalakannan Kailasam and his team, including Prof Ashok K Ganguli, Dr Vivek […]Read More
Rajkumari Sharma Tankha Stanford University alumni Dr Srikanth Sola left a flourishing practice in cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic (US) for the love of his motherland. He returned to India in 2008 to “serve my country”. But he was shocked by what he saw – young people (cobblers, taxi drivers) in their 20s and 30s […]Read More
Team L&M Indian researchers have developed transparent ceramics, reaching theoretical transparency through a technique called colloidal processing followed by simultaneous application of temperature and pressure, for the first time in India. The material can be used for thermal imaging applications, especially in harsh service conditions and personal protection systems such as, helmets, face shields, and […]Read More
Team L&M An Indian researcher has fabricated paper honeycomb and stronger polymer honeycomb structure as sound-absorbing panels that dissipate acoustic energy to low-frequency ranges. The technology can be used in building acoustics and also as environmental noise control solution. Many traditional materials have been found to be good at controlling higher frequencies. However, natural bee […]Read More
