Researchers from IIT Bombay led by Prof. Gopal Dixit, Department of Physics; Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and IIT Hyderabad have developed a novel optical technique to distinguish between mirror-image molecules, known as enantiomers, using specially structured “twisted” laser light. Published in Science Advances, the study demonstrates that laser beams carrying orbital angular momentum interact differently with chiral molecules depending on their handedness.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have developed a host of novel, eco-friendly materials by combining everyday plastics with strong and biodegradable materials, like wild grasses.

By disrupting transport of fat inside liver cells, IIT Bombay researchers have opened a new path to tackling high cholesterol and other fat-related disorders.

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) −tiny elastic vibrations that travel along the surface of a solid−are the unsung heroes of modern wireless technology, powering the radio-frequency filters in every smartphone. As wireless communication advances towards 5G, 6G, and millimeter-wave (mm-wave) technologies, there is growing demand for compact, low-loss, and ultra-high-speed signal-processing devices compatible with existing silicon electronics.

By pairing marine bacteria with graphene oxide sheets, IIT Bombay researchers show how dyes in wastewater can be trapped and fully broken down.

IIT Bombay research shows that heatwaves over the Indo-Gangetic Plains are primarily driven by local land and atmospheric factors, rather than by hot air travelling from elsewhere.

A DNA-based strategy from researchers of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay makes drug-resistant bacteria responsive to antibiotics again.

Researchers have identified how common testing errors lead to unreliable data, providing a new blueprint for building the ultra-safe infrastructure needed for a hydrogen-powered world.

Researchers from the Indian Institutes of Technology have developed a computationally efficient method to track the three-dimensional movements of surgical instruments using only standard two-dimensional video feeds and geometric principles.

Researchers have developed advanced mathematical models and hybrid machine learning tools that accurately predict how 3D-printed ceramic and metal parts shrink and warp during high-temperature heat treatment.

Researchers at IIT Bombay reveal how excessive mucus creates gaps in our lungs’ defences, leaving us vulnerable to allergic attacks.

Researchers at IIT Bombay develop a simpler and efficient method to recover immune cells grown in the lab for T-cell–based cancer therapies.

A smart new platform developed by IIT Bombay unifies scattered brain-disease data to help researchers find markers, explore treatments, and pinpoint druggable targets.

Researchers successfully developed a robotic model that spontaneously generates tunable and accurate run-and-tumble dynamics, similar to those of swimming microbes.

Warm clothing, like a sweater, protects us in cold climates by trapping the natural body-heat and thereby minimizes its loss to the cold environment outside. Turns out that there might be another smarter and sustainable way to keep ourselves warm during cold nights.

IIT Bombay researchers have developed an optimised thermal weathering protocol and a crucial correlation to safeguard India's iconic Makrana marble structures.

IIT Bombay’s new deep learning framework, named SpADANet, enhances damage classification accuracy using limited labels across multiple hurricanes.

New evidence from Martian valley networks confirms a gradual climate shift from warm and wet during the Noachian period, around 4 billion years ago, to cold and icy by the Hesperian period, around 3 billion years ago.

Researchers discover that TB bacteria can shield themselves from antibiotics and stay alive longer by changing their outer fat coating.
