IGEIC, first of its kind not for profit, section 8 company is exclusively incorporated to create a hub of excellence in graphene technology commercialization focusing on a range of applications from electronics and energy storage to healthcare to material coating and conveyance systems and sustainable material development.
New High-Performance Gas Sensor can Monitor Low Level Nitrogen Oxides Pollution
Addressing the limitations of existing sensing materials, researchers from Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), an autonomous institute of DST have developed a gas sensor based on mixed spinel zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanostructures. This sensor detects nitrogen oxides (NOx) at ultra-low concentrations of parts-per-billion (ppb) levels, even at room temperature marking a significant breakthrough in gas sensing technology.
Antidepressant Drug can be Repurposed for Treating Breast Cancer
Dr. Asis Bala and his team of researchers at the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) in Guwahati, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Govt. of India, have been working in this field of drug repurposing to develop improved therapeutic strategies for cancer management.
Mechanically Gated Transistor Developed Using Single Molecule for Faster, Greener Electronics
In a breakthrough in electronics, scientists at the S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences an autonomous institute, have developed a unique transistor using single molecules, controlled by mechanical forces rather than traditional electrical signals.
Novel Nano Polymers Pave Way for Low-Cost, Efficient Sensors
Researchers of Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, an autonomous institute of Department of Science and Technology, have developed a bunch of electrochemical and optical biosensors based on nano polymers multifunctional Metal-organic framework (MOF) and 2-dimensional (2D) materials. MOFs are the multifunctional coordination polymers while MoS2 nanosheets, MXenes are some 2D materials that have emerged as materials of choice for sensors.
Plasma-Based Green Disinfectants can Limit Spread of Infectious Diseases like COVID 19
The COVID 19 pandemic had brought forth the urgent need for decontaminants that can limit the spread of infectious diseases through contact. However, most decontaminants consisted of chemicals which are hazardous for the environment. This encouraged researchers to work towards greener alternatives.
