How sustainability can sweeten Nagalandâs pineapple profits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Farmers, especially in cost-conscious cultures such as India, are good at traditional, cost-free sustainable practices such as weeding, crop spacing, and field hygiene. But they tend to lag in practices such as biological pest control or scientific restoration of soil nutrients that require training and material inputs. Sustainability clearly isnât just a question of awareness but also tied to land size and income, as seen in a study by the School of Agricultural Sciences, Nagaland University.
Sparing small rooftop-solar businesses the initial legwork (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of the small businesses offering rooftop solar installation services are constrained by the time and effort needed to estimate the requirements of a potential customer before a sale can be concluded. To offer a price quote, they will typically need to send an engineer to the customer site to measure the roof, estimate the impact of shade from nearby trees or physical structures, and determine the tilt angles needed for an installed unit. Google, which recently rolled out its Solar API servi
Indian labs are innovating cancer care (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cancer cells are like thieves. They are capable of adapting to micro-environmental pressures, evade surveillance and resist treatment. They can disguise themselves or switch between observable states. But the difficulty in detecting them is only half the problem for medical science. The other half is with treatments that harm healthy tissues too, leaving patients feeling worn out. Research institutes under the Department of Science and Technology have published two separate studies to introduce
How drug-resistant TB evades detection in standard tests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) is a killer disease. The discovery of antibiotics pushed forward the fight against the bacteria that causes this illness. But another emerging challenge is drug-resistant TB. TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rifampicin is the primary antibiotic used to treat TB. When TB-causing bacteria become resistant to Rifampicin, it leads to multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) or extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), which are much harder to treat. Bacteria develop r
Reworking sulphur to win the energy storage race (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lithium-sulphur (Li-S) batteries have the potential to rule the roost in the next generation of energy storage technology. They come with five times higher energy density than standard lithium-ion batteries, higher capacity (1,675 mAh) and lower raw material cost. But widespread adoption faces two stumbling blocks — leakage and sluggish reaction. As the battery functions, the sulphur turns into temporary chemical forms that dissolve into the battery’s liquid. Once dissolved, these molecules free
