Researchers in India have developed a compact automated device capable of detecting trace levels of harmful pesticides in water, food and soil. This is reported by IANS, a partner of TV BRICS. The technology is designed to offer real-time analysis outside traditional laboratories. Existing detection methods for residues such as the commonly used organophosphate malathion often require costly equipment, lengthy procedures and specialised staff. The newly developed device uses a colour-based chemical process built around gold nanoparticles and a customised…

India has developed its first indigenous Quantum Diamond Microscope (QDM) – an instrument capable of visualising magnetic fields with exceptional precision. The news was reported by IANS, a partner of TV BRICS. Unlike conventional microscopes, it not only reveals the structure of objects but also their invisible magnetic properties in 3D. The device allows researchers to examine objects without opening them. The technology is based on the use of a synthetic diamond containing special defects known as nitrogen-vacancy centres. These…

India has unveiled a pioneering bottled water initiative that uses atmospheric water generation technology to create drinking water directly from air – a first for the country and a milestone in global sustainability. The project introduces a renewable, zero-extraction model for producing pure water without depleting groundwater resources, as reported by ANI, a partner of TV BRICS. The new system will begin operating in Pune with a production capacity of 10,000 litres per day, serving retail consumers and supporting the…

Researchers at Indian Nagaland University have discovered a naturally occurring plant compound, Sinapic acid, that significantly accelerates wound healing in diabetic conditions. This is reported by ANI, a partner of TV BRICS. The breakthrough offers a promising step towards developing safe, affordable, and natural treatments for one of diabetes’ most persistent complications – delayed wound recovery. This is the first global study to demonstrate that Sinapic acid, when taken orally, enhances diabetic wound healing in preclinical models. The compound works…

India has introduced its first facial skin microbiome test – a scientific advancement designed to transform the understanding of skin health through the study of beneficial microorganisms that inhabit the human face. This is reported by ANI, a partner of TV BRICS. Unlike conventional skincare, which focuses mainly on surface-level treatments, the new test analyses the balance of millions of microbes that naturally protect the skin, regulate immune responses, and support regeneration. When this delicate ecosystem is disrupted by environmental…
