The main objective of the thesis is to introduce porous structure into graphene/graphene oxide materials and study their effects on various physics/chemistry related applications. Introduction of porosity may be achieved ...

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is becoming wide spread due to the excessive and unregulated use of antibiotics in healthcare and agriculture. At the same time the development of new antibiotics has become slow. Adding ...

Shock waves are non-linear waves propagating at speeds greater than the speed of sound, with a unique characteristic of instantaneously increasing the pressure, temperature and density of the medium through which they ...

This thesis proposes a partition of optical states into radiative and non-radiative parts when an emitter is proximal to resonant absorbing nanostructures. The conventional partition is valid only for the weak coupling ...

Artificial neural networks have provided a powerful motif to implement extremely complex functions of high dimensional inputs like images and text. These are now being used to directly control robotic systems, to enable ...

Nanomaterials possess a myriad of potential in various biomedical fields such as cancer diagnostics, biosensing, imaging, immunoassay, drug delivery and therapeutics etc. In particular, the ability of the nanozymes to ...

Neuroscience is at crossroads. Several interdisciplinary optical developments centred around nonlinear optical processes helps in better understanding of brain function at sub-micron and millisecond precision. Traditional ...

There has been a surge of interest in recent years to design and fabricate various types of motile micro/nanoparticles that can be maneuvered using chemical, optical, thermal, electrical or magnetic energy sources. A ...

Life forms as we know emerged due to unique mechanical and transport properties exhibited by Soft Materials at interface. For instance, the interior of a cell is separated from outside environment by lipid bilayer which ...
