Low contact resistance metal-semiconductor interface designed for next-generation transistors
New Delhi, April 17, 2022: Researchers have computationally designed a low contact resistance metal-semiconductor interface with 2D monolayers for next-generation transistors, which can boost device performance. The discovery of graphene, a flat monolayer of carbon atoms arranged in a 2D honeycomb lattice, has spurred enormous research interest in the materials in the two-dimensional (2D) realm. […]
Bio-Decomposer Technology for paddy burning
New Delhi, April 16, 2022: The bio-decomposer namely Pusa Decomposer developed by The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has been used by the States of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and NCT of Delhi to total of 978,713 acres (3,91,485 ha) equivalent to about 2.4 million tonnes of straw management in this year. Also, to […]
New materials and processes for carbon capture and utilization could show new light for global warming challenge
New Delhi, April 15, 2022: A group of scientists have computationally designed a hybrid material which can absorb greenhouse gas methane, converting it to clean Hydrogen and also simulated a process of capturing carbon dioxide in-situ and converting it to high purity hydrogen from non-fuel grade bioethanol. They have also designed a facility that can test […]
Centre extends timeline for disbursement of loan, completion of ethanol projects
New Delhi, April 13, 2022: Central Government with a view to increase production of ethanol and its supply under Ethanol Blended with Petrol (EBP) Programme, especially in the surplus season and thereby to improve the liquidity position of the sugar mills enabling them to clear cane price arrears of the farmers, notified different interest subvention schemes […]
Hidden in Plain Sight: Faint galaxy discovered in our local universe
New Delhi, April 09, 2022: Researchers have discovered a faint but star-forming galaxy, around 136 million light-years away which was so far undetected since it lies in front of a much brighter galaxy, The galaxy has a ‘ghost’ like appearance in the optical images because of its low disk density, but the inner disk shows […]
Multi-sectorial strategies for the prevention and control of pollen allergy
New Delhi, April 06, 2022: Indian Scientists have suggested that large scale measures like developing pollen forecast systems and training of health care professionals and personal measures like following pollen forecasts, use of face masks, spectacles, and air filters, regularly taking prescribed medications, limiting outdoor exposure, and avoiding gardening or grass-cutting during peak pollen seasons could help minimize the onset and […]
Interaction between Coronal Mass Ejections plays a key role in their evolution
New Delhi, April 03, 2022: A team of astronomers have found that interactions between two different Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) in the interplanetary medium as they travel towards the Earth play a key role in their evolution. Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and flares are the largest eruptive phenomena in our solar system. Flares are characterized by […]
Indigenously developed platinum-based electrocatalyst could pave way for low-cost, durable fuel cells
New Delhi, April 2, 2022: Indian Scientists have indigenously developed platinum-based electrocatalyst for use in fuel cells through an efficient procedure. This electrocatalyst showed comparable properties to the commercially available electrocatalyst and could enhance the lifetime of the fuel cell stack performance. The launch of the Hydrogen Mission in August 2021 has opened up a […]
Research on surface electromagnetics can augment existing capabilities of RF, microwave device
New Delhi, April 1, 2022: Dr. Debidas Kundu, INSPIRE Faculty Fellow from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, is working on improved technology for defense and space research as well as for satellite communication. His work on a structural, weatherproof enclosure that protects a radar antenna can be used in defense and strategic sectors. In his project, he has […]
