New method can produce designer hydrogels

India Science Wire A team of scientists at the Bengaluru-based Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have developed a new technique that promises to produce hydrogels that could be used for a variety of applications like cleaning of industrial wastewater.   The method involves self-assembly of tiny cubes of metal-organic compounds into hydrogels with the help of molecular binders. The makeup of the resulting hydrogel depends on the size, shape and geometry of the molecular binder.   For instance, when researchers used cationic ammonia-based molecular binder, the resulting…

Automation in Banking Sector has proved to be remarkable landmarks

Automation is the technology by which a process is performed by minimum human assistance. Automation is also known as ‘Automatic Control’ which is done by the use of different control systems. The term ‘Automation’ has been derived by the word automatic, which was widely used before 1947 when Ford established an Automation Department. Before 1980’s, Indian Banking System was completely using traditional ways of transaction and there was no involvement of technology in the customer service, book-keeping and MIS reporting the urgent need for computerization was felt in the Indian…
