A living nano-assembly to tackle pollution from stubborn textile dyes in wastewater
By pairing marine bacteria with graphene oxide sheets, IIT Bombay researchers show how dyes in wastewater can be trapped and fully broken down.
Heatwaves in the Indo-Gangetic Plains: Why Local Land and Atmospheric Conditions Matter More Than We Thought
IIT Bombay research shows that heatwaves over the Indo-Gangetic Plains are primarily driven by local land and atmospheric factors, rather than by hot air travelling from elsewhere.
A new way to make old antibiotics work again
A DNA-based strategy from researchers of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay makes drug-resistant bacteria responsive to antibiotics again.
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay study finds why our current methods of testing hydrogen-ready metals are inaccurate
Researchers have identified how common testing errors lead to unreliable data, providing a new blueprint for building the ultra-safe infrastructure needed for a hydrogen-powered world.
IITB researchers develop novel method to test the ‘quantumness’ of gravity
Researchers have suggested that gravity could hide its quantum nature by freezing its motion, rendering traditional entanglement tests insufficient, and have proposed a new measurement tool to detect these hidden signatures.
Why do some antibiotics cause liver damage more than others?
IIT Bombay study shows how the location of antibiotics within the outer layers of liver cells could predict drug-induced toxicity early.
IIT Bombay’s new study shows the mucus paradox in our lungs
Researchers at IIT Bombay reveal how excessive mucus creates gaps in our lungs’ defences, leaving us vulnerable to allergic attacks.
Improving How Immune Cells are Prepared for Cancer Care
Researchers at IIT Bombay develop a simpler and efficient method to recover immune cells grown in the lab for T-cell–based cancer therapies.
Making sense of the human brain: How BrainProt and DrugProtAI aim to help researchers decode brain diseases
A smart new platform developed by IIT Bombay unifies scattered brain-disease data to help researchers find markers, explore treatments, and pinpoint druggable targets.
Tabletop robot twins unlock the mystery of how microbes perform the run-and-tumble motion
Researchers successfully developed a robotic model that spontaneously generates tunable and accurate run-and-tumble dynamics, similar to those of swimming microbes.
