Researchers at the National Institute of Technology in Agartala, India have found that modifying the surface texture of stainless steel can inhibit the development of bacterial biofilm. The study focused on the adhesion of gram-negative bacteria, specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to stainless steel surfaces commonly used in biomedical applications. The researchers discovered that a smoother surface with a higher negative potential reduced biofilm formation, particularly on stainless steel 316L. This research provides valuable insights into preventing bacterial infections and biofouling in healthcare settings. [Extracted from the article]

A report from the National Institute of Technology in Agartala, India discusses research on enhancing the privacy and security of biometric identification systems. The researchers propose a novel 2D chaotic sine map for generating encryption keys and improving security. They use various methods such as the Henon-Sine Map, Secure Hash Algorithm, and DNA computing in the key generation process. The proposed scheme is tested on different biometric images and found to be more effective than existing schemes. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Information Security and Applications. [Extracted from the article]
