The breakthrough study, led by Bivas Saha at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), provides the first direct experimental evidence explaining an unusual thermal behaviour observed in certain magnetic materials. The findings were recently published in the scientific journal Science Advances.
India’s indigenous telecom technology has earned global recognition after an advanced fraud detection platform developed
The development of the nanosheets involved a combination of advanced experimental techniques. Scientists employed scalable liquid-phase exfoliation to separate bulk tellurium into ultra-thin layers. They then introduced strain-engineered lattice distortions to modify the atomic structure and activate new electronic properties.
This study shows that in some bacteria, sigma factors do not release.
That means the long-accepted “sigma cycle” model is not universal.
The indigenous IDS technology has been successfully designed, fabricated, and validated, and is now ready for commercialisation and large-scale deployment — a milestone that could provide a meaningful reduction in import dependency while spawning opportunities for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in power electronics, thermal systems, and EV control hardware manufacturing.
The research, led by B. L. V. Prasad along with PhD scholar Muskan Duggal, and supported by contributions from S. Krishna Prasad, D. S. Shankar Rao, C. V. Yelamaggad, and Santosh Khatavi, focused on designing an amine-functionalized liquid crystal molecule. This molecule played a dual role by acting as a reducing agent to form gold nanoparticles while simultaneously stabilizing them in situ, eliminating the need for additional chemical reagents.

On the government’s intervention in this direction the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), the Secretary said that nearly 36000 fishing vessels have been equipped with transponders for real-time monitoring.
At the heart of their system is a composite siphon: a fabric wick paired with a grooved metallic surface. The fabric draws salty water from a reservoir, while gravity ensures a smooth, continuous flow. Instead of allowing salt to crystallize, the siphon flushes it away before buildup occurs.
