New tech developed to generate green hydrogen from biomass
Most of the hydrogen presently comes from fossil fuels through a process called the steam methane reforming route
Researchers develop helix-hairpin miniproteins for inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection
The artificial peptides or miniproteins can block not only the entry of viruses like SARS-CoV-2 into human cells but also have the potential to clump virions
Study could help better management of Alzheimer’s patients
The improved algorithm named ReAl-LiFE could also predict how a human test subject would behave or carry out a specific task
How did COVID-19 spread during short conversations?
The simulations from a recent research showed that the risk of getting infected was higher when one person acted as a passive listener than when they engaged in a two-way conversation
Study finds Asthma drug can help fight COVID
Indian Institute of Science (IISc) team found that a drug used to treat Asthma and allergies can bind to and block a crucial protein produced by the virus SARS-CoV-2 and reduce viral replication in human immune cells
Microplastics detected in fish samples from Cauvery
Using a technique called Raman spectroscopy, researchers detected microplastics, the minute pieces of plastic often invisible to the naked eye and some toxic chemicals.
Mathematical model to predict COVID-19 vaccine efficacy
The researchers began by analysing over 80 different neutralising antibodies reported to be generated after vaccination against the surface spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19
IISc to set up 800-bed hospital in Bengaluru, receives Rs 425...
The ground-breaking is planned for June 2022 and the hospital will be operational by the end of 2024
Scientists develop new technology platform to detect SARS-CoV-2
A highlight of the study is that it presents an entirely new strategy to target a unique, unconventional nucleic acid structure specific to the SARS-CoV-2 sequence using small molecules
Study to help manage attention disorders
A team of researchers led by Prof. Sridharan Devarajan, an Associate Professor at the Centre for Neuroscience & Associate faculty in Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, is seeking to find answers to these questions and develop therapies for treating attention disorders
