Cambridge scientists have created a breakthrough material that can sense tiny chemical changes in the body, such as the increased acidity during an arthritis flare-up, and release drugs exactly when and where they’re needed. By mimicking cartilage while delivering medication, this smart gel could ease pain, reduce side effects, and provide continuous treatment for millions.
A research team created a plant-inspired molecule that can store four charges using sunlight, a key step toward artificial photosynthesis. Unlike past attempts, it works with dimmer light, edging closer to real-world solar fuel production. A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modelled on plant photosynthesis: under the.
~Sushil Pal Artificial intelligence has the potential to be one of the most transformative forces of our time driving economic growth, improving public services, and accelerating solutions to complex global challenges. From enabling early disease detection and precision agriculture to strengthening disaster preparedness, climate modelling, and welfare delivery at scale, AI is already reshaping how.
A recent UN report has revealed growing demand for fuelwood (woodfuel and charcoal) is accelerating forest loss across parts of Africa and Asia, even as countries expand restoration and afforestation programmes. Calling for forests to remain central to global policy and investment decisions, the Global Forest Goals Report 2026, launched during the 21st session of.
Researchers at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have revealed a key defence system in plants to fight viruses. Plants are known to use liquid-like, sticky protein droplets to trap and disable invading viruses.
It was relatively a low-key oathtaking ceremony for the new regime in Puducherry on Wednesday compared with the recent high-profile events in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Assam, even as the Congress continues to struggle to name the Kerala Chief Minister.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to citizens to be pragmatic and responsible amid the current global volatility is being seen as a prudent set of measures preparing the country to be resilient enough to endure a period of sustained uncertainty and possible rise in international oil and energy prices.
India’s water crisis is no longer a distant warning; it is a lived reality. With 18 per cent of the world’s population but barely 4 per cent of global freshwater resources, the country has spent decades focusing on one central question: How do we secure more water? Governments have built dams, expanded pipelines, promoted rainwater.
