Rising Temperatures Threaten India’s Wheat Belt: Report

Punjab and Haryana warming at half a degree per decade during the wheat season, with minimum temperatures rising nearly three times faster in Gujarat 1 June 2026, New Delhi: India produces over 107 million tonnes of wheat annually, making it the second-largest wheat producer in the world and accounting for roughly 14% of global output.

The impact of AI on enhancing EV performance and efficiency

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the automotive landscape, offering significant environmental and economic advantages, from reduced emissions to lower maintenance costs. The global transition toward EVs is accelerating, with nearly 14 million new electric cars registered in 2023 alone, bringing the worldwide total to 40 million, as per the International Energy Agency.

Understanding pathogenicity and virulence of pathogenic microorganisms

Pathogenicity is the potential capacity of certain species of microbes to cause an infectious process. It is characterised by a complex of pathogenic properties in the microbe formed in the process of the historical development of the struggle for existence and adaptation to parasitic life in plant, animal and human organisms. Pathogenicity is a specific characteristic of pathogenic microbes.

The role of recycling precious metals from e-waste in powering EVs future

As the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions accelerates, electric vehicles (EVs) have become central to this transformation. However, the rapid expansion of the EV market presents significant challenges, particularly in managing the growing volume of electronic waste (e-waste).

The role of capsular material in bacterial virulence & bacterial aggressins

Some pathogenic microorganisms (bacilli of anthrax, Clostridium perfringens, S. pneumoniae, causative agents of plague and tularaemia) are capable of producing a capsule in animal and human bodies. Certain microorganisms produce capsules in the organism as well as in nutrient media (causative agents of rhinoscleroma, ozaena, and pneumonia).
