In the last fortnight, microcellular organisms have found themselves at the centre of yet another strategic piece of scientific engineering dealing with lights and optics. In a parallel approach, a team of scientists led by Deepak from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K), have utilized yeast cultures as templates for constructing micro lenses which can enhance the performance of organic Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).Full Text

The CEO of the corporate giant Apple, Steve Jobs, passed away at the early age of 56 due to a rare form of pancreatic cancer. He was a billionaire who could afford the best of treatment and care. Yet he lost his life to cancer. This is not because there are not enough effective drugs to treat cancer or cancer cells are drug-resistant. It is because the methods of drug delivery are ineffective. Cancer treatment requires a different approach.Full Text

A workshop on naturally occurring pollutants affecting water quality in India was organized recently. The main objective was to initiate a dialogue between scientists, policy makers and the general public and influence decision making at the regional level. S. K. Satheesh (Divecha Centre for Climate Change (DCCC), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru) in his opening remarks indicated that the sustainable water future programme, a core activity of the Water Solutions Lab of DCCC, addresses water-related science and policy. R. Srinivasan (DCCC, IISc) provided the context for the workshop. Water resources are becoming more and more difficult to sustain with tremendous pressure on the quality of water resources in the country. The aim of the workshop was to develop an updated geographical map of areas affected by natural pollutants, identify the possible sources of contamination, understand the disease burden in such areas, take stock of existing practices for minimizing the effects of pollutants and construct a roadmap for developing methods to overcome the effects of pollutants.Full Text

- Punjab’s Food and Water Woes:Perils of Heavy Metal Contamination
Authors

Current Science, Vol 115, No 5 (2018), Pagination: 815-816Abstract
Punjab’s early success in agriculture set the stage for infrastructure development in the region. Within years of embracing seed-fertilizer technology in 1968, the benefits of improved crop production started trickling to other economic sectors1. But due to short sighted development and unplanned industrialization, the region has become swamped with toxic heavy metals that are released into the rivers. The problem has been known for some time, but despite that, no concrete solution has been worked out. This does not bode well for health and agriculture. Several reports from the region highlight these issues.Full Text
