Strands of amino acids linked together with peptide bonds, carefully fold to form three dimensional protein structures. These structures determine the function of a specific…
When a wound on the skin creates a gap, the epithelial cells of the skin, surrounding the wound, move in a concerted fashion to close…
Most of us have seen dogs sniff rear ends. By doing so, they are trying to detect chemical molecules to determine identity, sex and menstrual…
Congratulations to Nihar Khandave on successfully defending his thesis titled ‘Extending CEST NMR experiments to study protein conformational dynamics occurring over the ~10-4 to ~100 seconds timescale’.…
Congratulations to Amar Kumar on successfully defending his thesis titled ‘On the Development of Novel Cathodes for Next Generation Batteries: Solar to Organic Batteries’. Conventionally, solar…
Laser Ion acceleration uses intense laser flashes to heat electrons of a solid to enormous temperatures and propel these charged particles to extreme speeds. These…
Materials with self-adaptive mechanical responses have long been sought after in material science. Using computer simulations, researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR),…
Chemical (gas, hydrocarbons, isotopes, isomers) separation technologies are essential to our daily lives. There are ongoing global efforts to simplify separation and purification processes using…
Some theories have stood strong for centuries and are taught in schools as part of the foundations of science. Naturally, these theories face their share…
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) can provide nearly 10 times higher energy density compared to the present Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and hence are identified as one…
