Sodium-ion batteries, AI Intrusion Detection, Zoonosis, Autism, Liquid Microscopy and more...
Weekly Newsletter | Issue #5 - 29 Jan, 2025
Greetings from Research Matters!
This week, our featured article is about Professor Amartya Mukhopadhyay and his work on the Sodium-ion battery, which could help India develop its own indigenous alternatives to lithium batteries. You can also read this article in Hindi or Marathi in our Regional section.
We also have stories on AI-based intrusion detection systems, a comprehensive study of Zoonosis, using walking patterns for early autism diagnosis, and improving Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy (LCTEM). Check out our regional section for stories in Indian languages. There are also stories from other media and events happening this week. Don’t forget to check out Scidle - the science wordle, for a new science word every day. If you have events/talks workshops that you would like us to add to the newsletter, please hit us up on any of our social media channels or email.
