Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how small organic molecules can be guided to form advanced functional materials. This could facilitate future electronic devices, tuneable optoelectronic systems, responsive materials, and bioelectronic interfaces. The team from the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, in collaboration with the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), both ...

A novel neuromorphic sensor that mimics the response of the brain to environmental changes, primarily humidity, with the ability to process, and store information in a single device, similar to biological systems, could significantly reduce energy consumption and data-processing requirements compared to conventional electronics. Neuromorphic electronics are gaining importance as conventional computing systems struggle with increasing energy consumption and data processing ...

A novel way to distinguish between pollen from cultivated crops and from wild grasses enables scientists to unlock the story of India’s agricultural beginnings, particularly in the Central Ganga Plain.  It offers a powerful window into how human societies shaped the landscape over millennia. India is the second-largest producer of wheat and rice, the world’s major food staples. Establishing region-specific ...

In a historic milestone for India’s mining sector, 30 mineral blocks have been successfully operationalised in the financial year 2025–26, marking the first time ever that such a high number of blocks have been made operational within a single financial year. This achievement signifies a major shift towards faster execution and reflects the Government’s focused efforts to translate auctions into ...

The Government of Tamil Nadu proposes to establish a greenfield shipbuilding  cluster in Thoothukudi district, Tamil Nadu. To establish this cluster, V.O.  Chidambaranar Port (VOCPA) and State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil  Nadu (SIPCOT) have formed a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) named National  Shipbuilding & Heavy Industries Park Tamil Nadu Limited (NSHIPTN) and also signed  an MoU deliberating responsibilities of each party. ...

A new study overturns a central textbook model of bacterial gene regulation and unveils new paths for understanding bacterial gene regulation and its evolution. This could help designing better antibiotics or regulatory inhibitors that block infection mechanism and design microorganisms that produce biofuels, biodegradable plastics, or therapeutic compounds efficiently. For nearly 50 years, biology has related the story of how ...

    Over the past two decades, drone technology has emerged as a transformative tool globally. India is rapidly leveraging its potential across governance and development sectors. What began as limited experimental deployment has evolved into a structured and expanding drone ecosystem that is reshaping public service delivery, infrastructure management, agriculture, and national security. Today, drones are used in India for ...

Government of India has notified the Electricity (Late Payment Surcharge and Related Matters) Rules, 2022 (LPS Rules, 2022) on 3rd June, 2022. Under these rules, all the dues, including late payments surcharges, upto 3rd June 2022 were considered as arrears which were to be rescheduled and the distribution licensee shall pay such dues in equated monthly instalments (EMIs), starting from ...

The Ministry of Heavy Industries is administering the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, namely “National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage”, approved in May, 2021 with a total outlay of ₹18,100 crore to establish 50 GWh of domestic Advanced Chemistry Cell manufacturing capacity. Out of the total targeted 50 GWh capacity, 40 GWhhas been awarded to four beneficiary ...

The Government’s initiative to transform Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) into multipurpose entities has significantly strengthened rural economic activity across the agriculture, dairy and fisheries sectors. Through adoption of the Model Bye-laws for PACS, these societies are now enabled to undertake more than 25 business activities, including operation of petrol pumps, LPG distributorships, Jan Aushadhi Kendras and Common Service Centres, ...
