Allahabad: In a major breakthrough that could help in the fight against global warming, a team of five Indian scientists from four institutes of the country have discovered a naturally occurring bacteria which converts carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into a compound found in limestone and chalk.
LONDON - Researchers say they have identified genes that make some African malaria-carrying mosquitoes resistant to insecticide, and hope the breakthrough could boost efforts to prevent the deadly disease.
Dehradun: A first of its kind carbon-dioxide (CO2) exchange tower has been installed by the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) in the forests of Haldwani. The purpose of setting up the tower is to quantify the exchange of CO2 emanating from the forest region and the atmosphere. The tower will help in the study of various issues related to global warming and climate change.
KOLKATA - Rising sea levels are causing salt water to flow into India's biggest river, threatening its ecosystem and turning vast farmlands barren in the country's east, a climate change expert warned Monday.
Feb. 2: Indian scientists have achieved a major breakthrough by developing a single drug that can cure tuberculosis. At present, TB is treated using multi-drug therapy in which each drug targets different metabolic pathways in Mycobacterium, the causative pathogen, trying to cripple it.
New Delhi: Ending days of suspense and anxiety for the Indo-German team of scientists sailing in the cold and desolate waters off Antarctica, the German government on Monday gave the go-ahead to a controversial ocean-seeding experiment that experts say could lead to a way of fighting global warming.
Washington: Antarctica, the only place that had oddly seemed immune from climate change, is warming after all, according to a new study. For years, Antarctica was an enigma to scientists who track the effects of global warming. Temperatures on much of the continent at the bottom of the world were staying the same or slightly cooling, previous research indicated.
