Hyderabad scientists decoded the ‘Evolutionary GPS’ of mites and ticks, showing they belong to two independent groups. Using 90 arachnid genomes, the study reveals their evolutionary history and helps predict disease transmission and potential new pathogen vectors.
A team of doctors and researchers from Hyderabad has revealed, after a two-decade-long study published in the International Journal of Scientific Research (IJSR) in November 2024, that three common plants—money plant (Epipremnum aureum), desert rose (Adenium obesum, known as Edaari Gulabi in Telugu), and banyan species (Ficus microcarpa, Ficus bengalensis, Ficus religiosa)—possess the ability to extract toxic metals from E-waste.
