From Sanitation to Soil: Evaluating Faecal Sludge-Based Amendments for Nutrient Circularity and Sustainable Agriculture
Globally, especially across developing regions, cities face a dual challenge: managing faecal sludge (FS) from on-site sanitation systems in a safe and sustainable manner, while simultaneously restoring soils degraded by ... -
Electrohydrodynamics of a Viscoelastic Drop
The behavior of a drop in electric fields is critical for diverse natural and industrial applications, including inkjet printing and electrohydrodynamic atomization. This complex phenomenon is governed by the balance of ... -
Multiphase gas in the baryon cycle: from jellyfish galaxies to turbulent galactic outflows
The formation and evolution of galaxies are shaped not only by gravity but also by the complex behaviour of gas—the dominant baryonic component within and around galaxies. This gas spans a wide range of temperatures, ... -
Studying induced and evoked oscillations for probing visual and auditory circuit mechanisms
Specialized sensory regions process incoming sensory inputs using a variety of mechanisms, such as normalization and excitatory-inhibitory interactions. These mechanisms can be studied through induced and evoked oscillations, ... -
Assessing the state of the glaciers in the Parvati basin of the Himalaya under a changing climate
The Himalayan cryosphere is one of the most climate-sensitive components of the Earth's system, acting as a critical water tower for millions of people across South Asia. Snow and glacier melt from this region contribute ... -
Design Development and Modeling of High CoP Peltier Assisted Thermal Desalination System with Latent Heat Recovery
The persistent global crisis of freshwater scarcity underscores the urgent need for sustainable, decentralized, and energy-efficient desalination solutions. While large scale desalination plants utilizing Multi-Stage ... -
Circuit mechanisms of itch modulation: from physiology to pathology
Itch is a distinct somatosensation, evoked by chemical and mechanical pruritogens or psychosomatic factors. It detects harmful sensory stimuli and triggers scratching to remove irritants from the skin. However, chronic ... -
Engineering Weyl and Dirac Fermions in Transition Metal Perovskites
The emergence of topological materials has fundamentally altered the landscape of condensed matter physics, introducing phases of matter defined by the topological properties of their electronic wavefunctions. A particularly ... -
