Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur have developed a cost-effective kidney dialysis machine that costs Rs.1500 and three such dialysers are required per week by patients. Haemodialysis is administered to patients suffering from various stages of kidney failure. Commonly referred to as "artificial kidney", it is a machine that uses dialysis to remove impurities and waste products from the ...

CERN, the particle research giant in Geneva that had shut down in 2013 its epoch-making Large Hadron Collider which was able to produce the dark matter or God’s Particle, has announced new and reburbished LHC now. For almost three years the LHC has gone through maintenace with hundreds of engineers and technicians working on consolidating and strengthening the accelerator in ...

Indian-origin American researcher Jagdish (Jay) Narayan from North Carolina State University has developed novel multiferroic materials that will aid develop new electronic memory devices. Multiferroic materials have both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. “These multiferroic materials offer the possibility of switching a material’s magnetism with an electric field, or switching its electric polarity with a magnetic field – making them very attractive ...

Researchers in the US have invented a battery that is so small that a billon of them could be crammed into a space the size of a postage stamp. The structure called nanopore was invented by researchers at the University of Maryland in the US and could result in the ultimate miniaturization of energy storage components, the researchers said. A ...

A miniature device developed at the University of Montreal can measure a patient’s blood for methotrexate, a commonly used but potentially toxic cancer drug, and it can accurately measure the optimal dose in patients and is 10 times less expensive. The nanoscale device has an optical system that can rapidly gauge the optimal dose of methotrexate a patient needs, while ...

Indian American scientist at Harvard, Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan, and other scientists — Mederic Argentina of the University of Nice, and Jan Skotheim of the Rockefeller University in New York have  invented the magical flying carpet of Alladdin in Arabian Nights based on the aerodynamics of a flexible, rippling sheet moving through a fluid. The scientists are confident to make one that ...
