Team L&M Inspired by natural photosynthetic systems, researchers have developed a new method of harvesting artificial light using organic nanotubes, which can be utilised in solar cells, photocatalysis, optical sensors, and tunable multi-color light-emitting materials. In Nature, plants and photosynthetic bacteria capture sunlight and deliver it to the reaction center through a cascade of energy […]Read More
Team L&M A protein found in the backbone of zebrafish that plays a positive role in disc maintenance and promotes regeneration in aged discs between vertebrae can have potential therapeutic implications to promote regeneration in degenerated human discs. In humans, discs degenerate naturally, leading to many related health concerns, including low back, neck, and appendage […]Read More
Team L&M Scientists have identified a new gene that can hold the key to prevent fungal infection Candidiasis that often affects intensive-care unit (ICU) patients, cancer patients and patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. The gene called CSA6 has been identified in Candida albicans a fungal species infamous for causing high rates of morbidity and mortality under […]Read More
Delhi-based tech start-up develops anti-pollution helmet for two-wheeler riders
Team L&M An anti-pollution helmet developed by a Delhi-based startup can help two-wheeler riders breathe clean air. The helmet developed by Shellios Technolabs has a Bluetooth-enabled app that lets the rider know when the helmet requires cleaning. The start-up received seed funding from the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and was incubated at Science […]Read More
Team L&M Scientists have discovered a novel material that can emit, detect, and modulate infrared light with high efficiency making it useful for solar and thermal energy harvesting and for optical communication devices. Electromagnetic waves are a renewable energy source used for electricity generation, telecommunication, defence and security technologies, sensors, and healthcare services. Scientists use […]Read More
All those women who have studied science and want to pursue it further can avail benefit of the Women Scientist Scheme. Launched by the Department of Science and Technology, the scheme provides career opportunities which includes fellowship to unemployed women scientists and technologists, especially those who had a break in career, for pursuing research in […]Read More
