Drilling microscopic holes in brittle materials like glass and ceramics, essential for smartphones, medical devices, and microfluidic chips, has long posed a challenge for manufacturers. Conventional methods often crack the material or fail when debris clogs narrow, deep holes. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have demonstrated how ultrasonic-assisted electrochemical discharge machining (UA-ECDM)…
Novel scheme by IIT Bombay researchers to control drones can enable complex formation flying using only camera data, without GPS or inter-drone communication. A new control scheme developed by Professor Dwaipayan Mukherjee and research scholar Chinmay Garanayak at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay enables unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to fly in coordinated swarms…

As the world’s digital appetite grows, so does its energy bill. Data centres — the backbone of streaming, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, and cloud services— already consume around 1–1.13% of global electricity and are projected to use far more in the coming years. Nearly 40% of this power goes into cooling the massive server farms,…
