“To address the problem of landslides and to reduce the cost of sensing these disasters, a faculty-student group named iIoTs, incubated by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi's technology incubator, Catalyst, has developed an indigenously built low-cost landslide monitoring and warning technology."

The new composite material is made of graphene and alloy of platinum and palladium in the form of nanoparticles. The use of metal particle of certain orientation which absorb or interact with CO at lower energy helped the conversion.
