The National Institute for Inter-disciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST) has found that water in the Periyar River contains large amounts of banned pesticides like endosulfan, DDT and BHC. This has come as shock for ...

Detailed investigation on texture and mineralogy of beach sediments helps to understand their nature of deposition and potential targets of strategic mineral deposits. The beach sediments from the coast of Thiruvananthapuram, ...

Mechanical exfoliation can generate graphene, but a consistent and scalable preparation of few-layer graphene (FLG) continues to be a challenge. We employed a mechanochemical milling technique to achieve maximum shear and ...

The vortex-liquid resistivity close to the vortex glass to liquid transition region is analyzed in detail for Ho doped (Bi, Pb)-2212 superconductor. A large broadening of resistive transition in magnetic field is observed, ...

Water quality has emerged as a fastdeveloping research area. Regular assessment of research activity is necessary for the successful R&D promotion. Water quality research work carried out in different countries increased ...
