Hydrogen Rotary Kilns for Ironmaking in India

Research Paper
| November 21, 2025

India’s iron and steel sector faces a significant challenge in decarbonizing over the coming decades, necessitating new technological solutions. A unique hurdle is India’s vast sector of small-scale sponge iron producers, who largely rely on coal-based rotary kilns to produce direct reduced iron (DRI).The paper, ‘Hydrogen Rotary Kilns for Ironmaking in India: A novel solution for decarbonizing small-scale ironmaking,’ outlines a promising technological route for this segment of the industry.

Forest Pathshaala: Adivasi Children and the Ecologies of Knowledge

Article
| November 12, 2025

This article hopes to recognize the pedagogical richness of indigenous education, to remind us that classrooms are not too different from canopies, that the Yamuna flows in the same way as the Mahanadi and the Moyar, and that education can also flow through story and lore. Not as nostalgia – but as knowledge that matters. Equally.

Towards Earthquake Predictability: A Seismo-Ionospheric Approach Using TEC Anomalies and ARIMA Forecasting

Research Paper
| October 31, 2025

Earthquakes have always been a permanent threat to humanity. Monitoring the earthquake precursors using space-based methods can be a new introduction to earthquake studies. The promising analysis of the earthquake precursors such as Ionospheric Perturbations is based on the detection of Ionospheric electron content. Within approximately 3 weeks before an event, negative TEC anomalies have been witnessed.
