In the first part of the study, I discuss how free-standing, helices may occur in semi-flexible polymeric systems without using torsional potentials. The helical motif is ubiquitous in macro-molecular systems and understanding ...

Development of clean and renewable energy scavenging methods is of growing interest to meet the global mandate of reducing the carbon footprint. Mechanical force is an abundant resource of energy that is readily available ...

Nonlinear dynamics forms the core of classical complex systems. The varied degrees of interactions among multiple parameters characterizing a system give rise to a plethora of phenomena from cosmic dynamics, chemical ...

Hybrid lead halide perovskites with the chemical formula ABX3 have now been established as a class of materials with astonishing optoelectronic and photovoltaic properties ideal for applications ranging from X-ray scintillation ...

Semiconductors are the building blocks of electronics, optoelectronics, and spintronics technologies. Irrespective of unique electronic and optical attributes, the zero band gap of graphene stimulated the search for layered ...

Plasmo-fluidics is an emerging field which integrates plasmonics and microfluidics at nano/microscale. Using plasmons, we can confine light to regions beyond the diffraction limit of light. This helps to create strong ...

Development of advanced porous materials (APMs) including Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs), Metal-organic Polyhedra (MOP), and others, has progressed fast during recent two decades, particularly in the fields of energy and ...

In the world around us, form and function are closely linked together. Each continually directing the other. Our brain is no exception. Its neural circuitry dictates behavior and our daily experiences, in turn, rewire the ...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a major gaseous signalling molecule that is responsible for redox regulation within cells, having implications for primary metabolism, antibiotic response, health, and ageing. 3-Mercaptopyruvate ...

The sense organs are dedicated to collect information from the external environment and convert the incoming physical/chemical energy into neural representations. While most of the sensory systems encode various features ...
