Mustafa Vora, DY Patil University Navi Mumbai The morphology of the bird plays a role in the efficiency and speed of flight. Since the world is warming up, migratory birds have begun to migrate early during the spring. Scientists observed that these migratory birds have smaller size and longer wings than before. They believed that […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata Marine biological invasion is the process by which a foreign species gets introduced to a new environment where it can negatively alter and invade the native species. One of the major challenges is to understand the cause of spatial variation in biological invasions across local-to-global scales. “What makes a successful invasion?”, […]
Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University Noida Diabetes has been a great area of concern for many people especially due to changing lifestyles as well as due to genetic reasons. Type 2 diabetes as of now affects 10% of the population worldwide and currently, the treatments which are prescribed by doctors involve lifestyle changes, insulin shot […]
Monika R, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore Amazonian forests harbour the world’s richest tropical biodiversity but have been relentlessly cleared and fragmented over the last four decades. This is mainly because over the decades, hydropower complexes have been built in several hydrographic basins of Brazil including the Amazon. Hydroelectric power generation is the most vital […]
Akash Singh, Banaras Hindu University An organic light-emitting diode (commonly abbreviated as OLED electrode) or organic LED is defined as a light-emitting diode. The emissive electroluminescent layer in it is a film of organic compound that emits light in response to an electric current. It was created in response to the need for more energy-efficient […]
Arya Sukumar, College of Agriculture, Vellayani Cell biology has tremendously grown during the latter years of the past century due to the convergence of numerous techniques that vastly enhanced the field of microscopy. The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in life science has opened the door to a new era in diagnostic medicine. Urs Greber’s […]
Ananya Dutta, Bose Institute Over the last decade, the fast advancement of techniques for sequencing single-cell transcriptomes has been matched by equally spectacular advancements in computational approaches for analyzing such data. The developing algorithm advances revealed progressively intricate features of the underlying biology, from cell type composition to gene regulation to developmental dynamics, as the […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Limacodid caterpillars, being from the family of the most venomous and dangerous species, have turned to be the savior of life. Doratifera vulnerans, also known as mottled cup moth, are native to South East Queensland and are also found in Toohey Forest Park on Brisbane’s southside. The research on this species […]
Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University Noida CRISPR is a highly innovative technique, used in gene editing. Usually, CRISPR is known to eliminate undesirable genes, but activation of genes to provide the functionality to a plant or organisms is pretty new. But recently a study conducted by a group of researchers in Nature Plants, headed by […]
Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi The concept of viral infection focuses on the transmission of viral particles from one individual and infecting someone close in contact. Researchers across the globe have created theories to explain the high prevalence of COVID-19 infection from the beginning of the crisis. They discovered that viral particles may […]
