New device to help reduce frequent charging of wireless electronic gadgets

New Delhi: As we are moving toward a data-driven age, there is a need for faster and very low power computing. Memories play a crucial role in this, as for faster processing of data; the CPU rapidly reads and writes on the memory. A researcher at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has designed a device for high-density magnetic memory, in collaboration with the National University of Singapore(NUS).The proposed device may help reduce frequent charging of wireless electronic devices such as mobile phones and other Internet of Thing (IoT) based devices. The main memory, i.e., the Random-access memory (RAM)…

New technique to detect tropical cyclones earlier than satellites

New Delhi: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur have developed a technique that could be useful in the early detection of development or strengthening of tropical cyclones in the atmospheric column prior to satellites over ocean surface in the North Indian Ocean region. Researchers devise a novel method using Eddy detection technique to investigate the formative stages and advance detection time of tropical cyclogenesis in the North Indian Ocean region. This study has been conducted under the Climate Change Program (CCP) with the support from Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, an official statement said. Early detection of…

IIT Delhi to establish department of energy science and engineering

New Delhi: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi is in the process of establishing a new department named, ‘Department of Energy Science and Engineering’ essentially for expanding the scope and depth of activities being undertaken by the 45-year-old Centre for Energy Studies (CES). The Institute’s Board has given its approval for the conversion of the Centre for Energy Studies into a Department of Energy Science and Engineering. The new department is expected to provide a much-needed focus and visibility to the teaching and research activities of the Institute in the field of energy as it deserves for achieving the seventh…

Leading edge technique to boost electric vehicle battery performance

New Delhi: A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, has developed an advanced technique that can precisely estimate one of the most important battery internal states known as the SOC (state of charge). SOC reflects the remaining capacity of the battery, i.e., how much more charge can be withdrawn from the battery before it gets fully discharged. The knowledge of remaining capacity helps to optimize the battery’s capacity utilization, prevent overcharging and undercharging of the battery, increases its lifespan, reduces cost, and ensures the safety of the battery and its surroundings. Unfortunately, such a vital parameter cannot…

Researchers devise digital method to process Sanskrit texts

New Delhi: While various digital resources have improved the accessibility and use of world languages and even regional languages, Sanskrit presents unique challenges in automated computational processing. In addition to the sheer volume and diversity, both stylistic and chronological, found in these texts, the linguistic peculiarities expressed by the language, pose several challenges in making these works accessible to the world. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur are making Sanskrit accessible with their Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based system for processing Sanskrit texts. Researchers led by Dr Pawan Goyal have developed a digital infrastructure for the efficient processing of…

New method for efficient removal of heavy metals from water

New Delhi : Heavy metals in water could lead to several neurological diseases in humans including Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. A research team at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi has developed a fibrous membrane filter using a biopolymer-based material that helps to separate out the heavy metals from water samples. These membranes contain adsorbents – materials that attract and hold the metals. “We tested with a prototype with four litres of heavy metal-laden water in the laboratory and have seen impressive results,” the scientists said. The researchers tested their membrane with copper laden water, to establish proof…
