A research team at IIT Guwahati has developed a groundbreaking method for detecting the virus that causes COVID-19 using clay and salt water.This technique eliminates the need for expensive lab equipment and instead relies on sedimentation—the process of watching how clay particles settle in a liquid.Led by Professor TV Bharat from the Department of Civil…
New Delhi: Australian researchers have pioneered a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tool to assess the risk of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D).The tool, developed by researchers at Western Sydney University, predicts treatment responses, potentially changing how the disease is diagnosed and managed.The tool utilises an innovative risk score — Dynamic Risk Score (DRS4C) which can classify…
