In Memorium of Dr. Rajagopala Chidambaram

The world of botany lost a towering figure with the passing of Kattungal Subrahmanyan Manilal, universally lauded for his contributions to the field through his translations and research of the ancient Latin text, "Hortus Malabaricus." K S Manilal, as he was better known, left an indelible mark on the academic and scientific communities. He passed away at the age of 86, in a private hospital in Thrissur, Kerala on the 2nd of January, 2025.

A new study examines complex jointed rocks making up the slopes on the banks of the Chenab River to improve the stability and safety of the Chenab bridge that rests on it.

Scientists have developed a multi-path routing algorithm and an encryption scheme that can offer a secure and reliable means of underwater communication.

BharatSim uses Agent-based modelling to simulate the Indian population dynamics, which can help study various aspects of life, including how diseases spread.

While going through the bacteria found from the Nasa's Mars 2020 Mission clean room, scientists discovered a novel species that could be helpful in fighting off harmful bacteria and viruses

Imagine if we could predict the properties of materials without having to test them in a lab. This would save a lot of time and money, and it could help scientists discover new materials with amazing properties, like super-strong metals or super-efficient semiconductors. This is exactly what researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and University College London are working on. They are using machine learning tools to predict material properties, even when there is limited data available.

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.

In a quest to address the global challenge of depleting natural gold mines and e-waste, scientists from the Indian Institute of Science and Education and Research, Pune (IISER Pune), Advanced Bio-Agro Tech Pvt. Ltd and CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory have engineered a novel material that promises to significantly improve how we recover gold from old electronics. They have designed a zirconium-based aerogel that is capable of capturing gold ions from solutions, even when present in ultra-trace amounts.

IIT Bombay’s new web application, IMPART, allows researchers to track changing water surface temperatures and can help to track climate change
