    Quantum Communication

    Context

  • India has successfully demonstrated quantum secure communication using quantum entanglement over free space by the DRDO-Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE), IIT Delhi.

    Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) with Insect-Based Livestock Feed

    Context
