JNCASR researchers develop photocatalyst to convert carbon dioxide to ethylene

Researchers from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research have synthesized a novel and highly efficient photocatalyst that can convert carbon dioxide to the high-value products ethene and ethylene, which are used as fuel gases. Now, while recent developments have yielded some beneficial results towards this goal, materials for photocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions with selectivity towards such high-valued products are …

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science and Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research have developed a paper-based platform which could help quickly detect the presence of antibiotic-resistant, disease-causing bacteria. They have developed a rapid diagnosis protocol that uses a luminescent paper-based platform to detect the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In another, the bacterium produces an enzyme called β-lactamase, …

Padma Shri awardee and former President of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research Prof. M.R. Satyanarayana Rao passed away at his residence in Tata Nagar in Bengaluru on August 13 night. He was also a visiting Professor at the Harvard Medical School and Visiting Scientist at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, University of California at San Diego, USA. …

A team of scientists from the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research have used scandium nitride and Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor compatibility to develop brain-like computing. “The JNCASR team demonstrates an artificial optoelectronic synapse with ScN thin films that can mimic synaptic functionalities like short-term memory, long-term memory, the transition from short-term to long-term memory, learning–forgetting, frequency selective optical filtering, frequency-dependent …

V-P: Translating research to improve lives of people is key

Scientific research must be, at the end, relevant to society and translating it to improve lives of the people is key, said Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu. Mr. Naidu suggested scientists undertake research in new emerging areas of science like synthetic biology, computational biology, high performance engineering materials, and artificial intelligence. The need of the hour is to inculcate scientific temper …
