Externally controlled intermittent randomization enables complex navigation of multiple nanobots

This paper introduces a novel method for independently controlling multiple identical nanobots using global magnetic fields. By combining intermittent orientation randomization and real-time feedback, the authors enable precise navigation of nanobots along distinct paths without requiring physical differences between them. The technique, demonstrated with up to four nanobots, offers scalability and speed, paving the way for advanced applications in targeted drug delivery, nanoscale manufacturing, and biomedical engineering.

CeNSE, IISc technology transfer to Antigone Solutions

Researchers from the Heterojunction Lab have developed an indigenous Pyroelectric IR Photodetector for advanced fire sensing applications!
Optimized for the 4.2 μm “fire-band,” this sensor powers automated fire detection and suppression systems. Now transferred to Antigone Solutions, this Made-in-India tech targets a defense application that currently imports 40,000 units worth ₹40 Cr—tapping into a global market projected at $220M in 2025.
