Published: 3 February 2026 Category: Research & Partnerships Office: Department of Mechanical Engineering Modern high-tech industries—from aerospace to nuclear power—rely on "High-Entropy Alloys" (HEAs) for their extreme strength and heat resistance. However, these materials often depend on Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) like tantalum and tungsten, which are difficult to mine, environmentally taxing, and subject to volatile global supply chains. To solve this, researchers

Published: 27 January 2026 Category: Research and Partnerships Office: Department of Civil Engineering As climate change accelerates glacial melting, water accumulates in mountain depressions to form new lakes. When these lakes burst—an event known as a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF)—the results are catastrophic. While previous models focused almost entirely on weather and temperature, the IIT Guwahati team, led by Prof. Ajay Dashora , realized that the "bowl-shaped" t
