Sribas Chowdhury, Adamas University, Kolkata The problem of carbon emission The emission of carbon has been a major environmental concern for decades. The carbon footprints left behind after using many of the day-to-day appliances, machines and other commodities have had a huge impact on the environment. With global warming being a raging threat for decades, […]
Komal Bavaskar, D Y Patil University What is the water cycle? The water cycle depicts the continual flow of water inside the Earth’s and atmosphere’s atmosphere. It is a complicated system with several processes. Clouds are formed by the condensing of water vapour, which then falls as rain or snow. Water in various stages circulates […]
Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University The environment has already been affected by global climate change. Glaciers have receded, ice on rivers and lakes has broken up earlier, plant and animal ranges have altered, and trees have begun to bloom earlier. Scientists are confident that global temperatures will continue to climb for decades to come, owing to […]
Esha Mukherjee, Amity University Noida By changing the form, location, and function of several of their proteins, common yeast can adapt and survive in response to a long-term change in temperature. The startling findings highlight protein plasticity at the molecular and conformational levels. It demonstrates the ability of molecular biology in understanding organismal responses to […]
Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University According to WHO, 390 million dengue infections are registered in the world every year. Dengue virus (DENV) spreads through a mosquito vector Aedes aegypti.

Scientists have been predicting about the next few years and how it can massively change the earth […]
Kiran Anup Budhrani, Chandigarh University What is El Nino and La Nina? El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a weather phenomenon generated due to the irregular variations in winds and surface temperature of the eastern pacific. Due to weak trade winds, the warm water gets accumulated on the Peruvian shore with warm water from Australia […]
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 […]
Sampriti Roy, University of Calcutta Accelerated climate change due to global warming is a well-known reality today. While the concept of climate change is unknown to few, there remain many grey areas about the effects of this ongoing phenomenon. This calls for rigorous research and the same is currently being done all over the world […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata Insects come under the Phylum Arthropod, ironically the largest phylum in the Animal Kingdom. Over the past several decades the number of species has declined. Initially, it was believed that this was happening due to habitat loss or excessive use of pesticides, but it came off as a bit of […]
