Developing IT for Research Support

The ability to visualize time-varying phenomena is absolutely essential to ensure correct interpretation and analysis, provoke insights, and communicate those insights to others. State-of-the-art scientific computing technologies allow accurate numerical modeling, animation sequences, etc., of many physical and chemical processes in their spatial and temporal domains, letting scientists to freely explore the domains. The fast understanding of every domain and sub-domain of research and facilitation in day-to-day working by development of complex algorithms and continuous improvement for increasing efficacy, and reducing time and space (distance) are the key of IT revolution. This article is oriented towards the current IT developments and evolving standards for the research support in the areas of biology, chemistry, ecology, etc. Initially, the article highlights various emerging fields and their affinity areas, and in the subsequent sections, it focuses on the various ongoing IT researches
