Indian Institute of Technology Madras ( IIT Madras ) will be provided a grant of Rs 242 Crore over a period of five years to undertake research on Lab Grown Diamonds (LGD). This research will be focused on driving indigenization of the LGD manufacturing process. Presenting the Budget 2023, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, “Lab grown Diamonds (LGD) is a technology and innovation-driven emerging sector with high employment potential. These environment-friendly diamonds have optically and chemically the same properties as natural diamonds. To encourage indigenous production of LGD seeds and machines and to reduce import dependency, a research and development grant will be provided to one of the IITs for five years.” The research grants will go towards various departments and research groups of the Institute that are involved in this field. IIT Madras has a history of undertaking cutting-edge and translational research with significant applications in industry … [Read more...] about iit madras: IIT Madras to receive Rs 242 crore for research on Lab Grown Diamonds in Budget 2023

It's not a dinosaur, thankfully, but the dodo, a flightless bird native to Mauritius that was wiped out in the 17th century. Colossal Biosciences previously announced that it planned to bring back the woolly mammoth and the thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger. The Dallas, Texas-based company has now set its sights on resurrecting the dodo, or at least a semblance of it. The technique involves using gene-editing technology, which has never been used in this way for birds before. Beth Shapiro, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, said she has already fully sequenced the dodo's genome from ancient DNA based on genetic material extracted from dodo remains in Denmark. Will the phrase "as dead as a dodo" soon be factually incorrect? As Scientific America explains , … [Read more...] about Company trying to bring back the woolly mammoth wants to resurrect the dodo
