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

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

Team L&M Indian scientists have developed a composite paper made of carbon (graphene oxide) loaded with preservatives that can be used as wrappers to help extend shelf life of fruits. Unlike the present preservative dipping technology, where the preservatives are adsorbed by the fruit, causing chronic toxicity to the consumers; here preservatives the wrapper releases […]Read More

Team L&M Leading cognitive psychologists Dr Jagannath Prasad Das has launched a unique IQ test called the Brain-Based Intelligence Test (BBIT), that he has specifically made for Indian population. The IQ test is born out of thorough research and greater vision by a team of eminent psychologists from Hyderabad led by Dr Das.    Renowned […]Read More

Team L&M Known for her social work and commitment towards women empowerment, well-known Hindi author Sudha Arora has been writing on the country’s largest digital literature platform, Pratilipi for almost six years now. “In 2014, someone from the Pratilipi team reached out to me and introduced this idea. I tried out the platform with some […]Read More
