Nature provides us with a potentially endless supply of design ideas to solve some of the most complex problems in engineering and science. Given that these ideas are a result of millions of years of evolution, it is only natural for us to mimic them in our solutions. Researchers at IIT Hyderabad have drawn inspiration from this structure and design to come up with very novel solutions to problems such as oil spill remediation, waste management, electrode materials for batteries and super-capacitors etc. This thrust area has received close to INR 4 Crores in project funding.

IITH researchers have unravelled the working of a protein that repairs damaged DNA. Nature has evolved techniques to not only protect DNA, but also to repair damaged DNA so that catastrophic damage can be averted. In humans, one such repair mechanism involves activation of a special class of p...
