NIO's research efforts generate many interesting results. Concerned specialists take note of these and the knowledge generation process continues. This section is an effort to translate some of the research results to ‘popular science' – for the non-specialist visitors. Click any from the list below and enjoy sharing our achievements. This does not, of course, provide complete picture of the work done at this institute but a small effort in a showcase. Visitors having special interest in any of these are encouraged to write to the authors of the articles/patents from which these stories are written.

As a part of promotion of scientific information, we welcome media to pick up any stories and present in desired format that they wish. A line about the coverage of these items in their media would be highly appreciated. Please also let us know whether you need to be updated as and when the story is added to this page (murari@nio.org).
