Clue to mystery of solar flares & CME in regions on Sun with disturbed magnetic field can help improving solar weather predictions

New Delhi, October 19, 2021: Astronomers exploring regions on the Sun with disturbed magnetic fields or active regions that sometimes exhibit solar flares without accompanying Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) have confirmed that changing structure of the magnetic field on the Sun’s surface determined whether a flare or a CME was emitted. This understanding will be useful in improving predictions […]

Tea and banana waste used to develop non-toxic activated carbon

New Delhi, October 16, 2021: A team of scientists have used tea and banana waste to prepare non-toxic activated carbon, which is useful for several purposes like industrial pollution control, water purification, food and beverage processing, and odour removal. The newly developed process avoids usage of any toxic agent for synthesizing activated carbon, thus making the product cost-effective […]

Model for optimising topography can make better surfaces for hip and knee implants

New Delhi, October 15, 2021: Indian Scientists have developed analytical models that can predict topography of electrical discharge textured (EDT) surfaces, aiding their customisation for improving hip and knee implants. Electrical discharge textured surfaces have suitable surface topography and surface chemistry to promote tissue growth and adhesion. Surface topography prediction is important in EDT surfaces […]

New Delhi, October 14, 2021: Indian researchers have developed a thermally stable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries for energy storage that promise application for a wide range of temperatures from 30-500 degrees Celsius. Energy generation and storage is the need of the hour, and worldwide efforts are being invested for developing cost-effective, efficient options. The […]

Tuning viscosity and elasticity of fluids can make transport and processing in food industries more efficient

New Delhi, October 13, 2021: Scientists have found a new method to improve the transportation of fluids like chocolates, lotions, sauces by tuning the viscosity and elasticity of fluids during materials processing in the food and personal care products industries. Usually the transport of fluids through pipelines involves displacement of a more viscous fluid by a […]

LTCC: New toxic-free, superior multilayer technology that packages together electronic components

New Delhi, October 12, 2021: Indian Scientists have indigenously developed toxic-free and superior multilayer technology that packages together electronic components like resistors, capacitors to produce multilayer circuits. These technologies, known as Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramic (LTCC) and High-Temperature Cofired Ceramic (HTCC) substrates with applications as satellite communication components, are currently being imported in India. The indigenous development can plug the […]
