Research lab
Public engineering and research institute in Gujarat, India, part of the IIT system, spanning chemistry, biology, materials, and civil engineering.
IIT Gandhinagar researchers report that enzyme reactions in the fluid around cells raised the cells' uptake of transferrin by roughly 17%. If the team's stirring explanation holds, the medium around a cell helps set how much cargo the cell takes in.
Reality
Researchers at IIT Gandhinagar, Cambridge and Birmingham report a copper MOF that holds 490 mg of lead or 351 mg of neodymium per gram of material. Whether that lets cleanup pay for itself through recovery depends on cost and scale-up work the team says still has to be done.
Reality
The work is careful basic genetics: cloned sequences, predicted protein folds, and one gene switched off at a time. Whether it touches India's 56% edible oil import share depends on breeding that has not happened yet.
Reality
Overpotential is the part of a CO2 electrolyser's electricity bill that buys no product, and a computational screen from IIT Gandhinagar says three five-metal boride sheets may not need any of it, though those sheets so far exist only in the calculation.
Reality
An IIT Gandhinagar and UFZ model in Nature Communications finds the water saved by targeting nitrogen is 4.6 times the nitrogen saved by targeting water, with calorie output held flat.
