From sending a rocket to space to our daily life usage, technology is everywhere. It is needless to say that we live in an age driven by technology. The demands posed by technological applications drive the search for ...

This is a synopsis of the thesis entitled "Chemical Reactions on cell surface modulated by active cytoskeleton'. delivered by Bhaswati Bhattacharyya of the Theoretical Sciences Unit. Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced ...

Materials exhibit a wide variety of properties in broadly varying magnitudes, and hence different materials find different applications depending on their suitability. These properties can be categorized as mechanical, ...

Thermodynamics and equilibrium statistical mechanics have been used widely in various situations for the understanding of systems in equilibrium [1]. But, most of the natural systems are inherently not in equilibrium. Examples ...

Oxides are mostly non-toxic and quite abundant in nature. They form an important class of materials due to their chemical and structural (halite, wurzite, spinel, corrundum, rutile, perovskite and pyrochlore) diversity. ...

With emergence of two-dimensional materials marked with the experimental isola tion of graphene by mechanical exfoliation of graphite in 2004 [2], the research field of 2-dimensional layered materials has witnessed a ...

Phase transitions are very commonly observed in nature and related topics are of much research interest [1–26]. The change of phase in a system takes place due to variation in different thermodynamic variables, like ...

The present state of life on earth is the outcome of millions of years of biological evolution. All organisms evolve to develop traits which make them better suited to their environment. Biological evolution is driven ...
