New Delhi: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Madras is developing a new model to tackle electronic wastes (e-waste) by linking stakeholders in the formal and informal economy. It will be an exchange platform that will serve as an online marketplace for waste electrical and electronic equipment and facilitate a formal supply chain between various stakeholders. According…
New Delhi: As we are moving toward a data-driven age, there is a need for faster and very low power computing. Memories play a crucial role in this, as for faster processing of data; the CPU rapidly reads and writes on the memory. A researcher at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has designed…
New Delhi: In a new study conducted by the researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mandi has conclusively shown that excessive sugar intake leads to a fatty liver. This could offer an incentive for reducing sugar intake to stop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in its early stages. The unravelling of the molecular link…
New Delhi: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur have developed a technique that could be useful in the early detection of development or strengthening of tropical cyclones in the atmospheric column prior to satellites over ocean surface in the North Indian Ocean region. Researchers devise a novel method using Eddy detection technique to…
New Delhi: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi is in the process of establishing a new department named, ‘Department of Energy Science and Engineering’ essentially for expanding the scope and depth of activities being undertaken by the 45-year-old Centre for Energy Studies (CES). The Institute’s Board has given its approval for the conversion of the…
New Delhi: A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi (IIT Mandi), led by Dr. Rajanish Giri, Assistant Professor, School of Basic Sciences, have elucidated the part of structure of a key protein in the COVID-19 virus, which helps in understanding its mode of action, its role in the spread and severity…
New Delhi: According to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), buildings around the globe account for 36 percent of energy use and 39 percent of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions annually. Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati develop smart window materials for automatic climate control of buildings. These materials can be helpful in designing…
New Delhi: In order to take teaching, research, development, and innovation in different areas of optics and photonics to a higher level, while keeping a balance between classical and modern areas, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi will create a new centre named ‘Optics and Photonics Centre’. The Institute’s Board of Governors has given its…
New Delhi: Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras and Rice University, U.S., have developed algorithms for lensless, miniature cameras. Such lensless cameras have numerous vision applications in areas such as Augmented Reality (AR)/ Virtual Reality (VR), security, smart wearables and robotics where cost, form-factor, and weight are major constraints. Lensless cameras do not…
New Delhi: A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, has developed an advanced technique that can precisely estimate one of the most important battery internal states known as the SOC (state of charge). SOC reflects the remaining capacity of the battery, i.e., how much more charge can be withdrawn from the battery…
