Microorganisms are omnipresent in our life and the environment, such as microbes in the gut, spermatozoa in reproductive organs, algae and protozoa in the aquatic ecosystem, and bacterial colonization and infection. ...

The direct observational test for the earliest phase of our universe comes from cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, which can only probe up to the recombination era. The only definitive event during the pre-recombination ...

Starting with the experiment on Kondo insulator SmB6 , which shows 1/B-periodic oscillations despite the absence of gapless electronic excitations in bulk, the candidate insulators showing quantum oscillation (QO) are on ...

Tokamak and stellarator are two leading contenders in the quest to achieve nuclear fusion from magnetically-confined plasmas. They differ in terms of magnetic field structure in the toroidal direction. Irrespective of the ...

Magnetism and magnetism-driven phenomena have always remained a central theme of modern condensed matter physics. Conventional magnetic transition, such as para magnetic to ferromagnetic phase, involves symmetry breaking ...

Spin transport across magnetic insulator/heavy metal (MI/HM) interfaces has been a topic of interest in spintronics. The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) and spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) are two phenomena that have ...

My PhD work is on chiral active matter with solid and fluid directions, dynamics of the interface of a nonconserved chiral order parameter in an active system, flocking on curved manifolds and field-driven colloids in ...

The cell membrane is the first point of interaction whenever any external biomolecule or nanoparticle encounters a cell. Thus the nature of interactions between the cell membrane and various proteins, nanoparticles, and ...

Dirac semimetal (DSM) is a topological semi-metal with a fourfold degenerate linear band crossing in the bulk, in the presence of time-reversal symmetry and inversion symme- try, exhibiting nontrivial spin-momentum locking ...

Non-renewable energy sources, such as natural gas, coal, and oil, supply over 80% of the world’s energy demands. The earth’s atmosphere is heavily polluted with CO2 generated from fossil fuels and natural gases, raising ...
