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.
