TIFR Hyderabad

4/n) Poster sessions: STAT 2026

(3/n) Umesh Lakshmiah spoke about detectors for advanced x‑ray imaging. Sandeep Malu took us through the engineering of software stacks of laser facility. Krishna Ellipilli explained key aspects of the construction of cleanrooms. Kalyan Kumar N spoke about OT cybersecurity.

(1/n) STAT 2026 focusses on the recent scientific & technical advancements @TIFRH_buzz. The meeting began with a walk-through of the National Facility for High-Field NMR (Krishnarao D), followed by discussions on engineering design beyond computer aided design (Aathif Ahmedof).

Do jammed solids develop Debye-like screening near unjamming? No, according to a new study combining stress-only gauge theory and simulations — rather, the dielectric-like response persists up to the unjamming point. Read the paper: go.aps.org/3MW1hKa

How cells recycle their way to healing wounds All along, known as the cell's trash can, lysosomes are actually master navigators! @TIFRH_buzz researchers found that they sense mechanical stress signals and help tissues build together to heal wounds. This discovery could revolutionise how we treat chronic injuries and even cancer metastasis.

#LabTour: Bharath Niranjan (Master Thesis student) takes us on a tour of the Hybrid Superconducting Quantum Devices lab (Principal Investigator: Vishal Ranjan) @TIFRH_buzz.

'सौर सेल: सौर ऊर्जा से विद्युत उत्पादन की वैज्ञानिक पृष्ठभूमि एवं विवरण' (Solar Cells: the science of harnessing solar energy) Brijesh Kumar Patel, grad student in Pabitra Nayak's lab @TIFRH_buzz, explains what constitutes a solar cell & how they work. tifrh.res.in/~sciencemedia/…

National Science Day Celebrations: (a) science demos at the Little Sanctum Montessori, (b) Lab tours for school students (TGSWREIS School, Gowlidoddi), and college students (MSc students, Berhampur university).

Congratulations to Aravind H (graduate student, Manish Jaiswal's lab) on successfully defending his thesis titled 'Regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis during development and disease'.

National #Science Day celebrations at the Little Sanctum Montessori: Young learners interacted with @TIFRH_buzz members and tried out fun science experiments!

Congratulations to Darshika Bohra (graduate student, Aprotim Mazumder's lab, @TIFRH_buzz) on successfully defending her thesis titled ‘The Role of Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Regulating DNA Damage Repair and Signalling-Dependent Gene Transcription’.

'విజ్ఞాన రహస్యాలను వాసన పట్టడం నేర్చుకున్నాను' (Learning to Smell the Secrets of Science) Devakinandan (recent PhD graduate from @TIFRH_buzz) writes about his PhD days- the questions, the brainstorming, the failures, & the first 'whisper of discovery'! tifrh.res.in/~sciencemedia/…

20 MSc Biotechnology students from Berhampur University visited @TIFRH_buzz. They explored research on DNA damage & repair, chemical peptide synthesis and therapeutics, and protein misfolding & aggregation - engaging with researchers on experimental approaches & careers.

#Workshop #NationalScienceDay 'Quantum Sensing & Quantum Metrology for Students' A focused in-person workshop for UG, PG students and emerging researchers. 🗓 Saturday, February 28, 2026 | 9:30 AM – 2:00 PM 📍 TIFR Hyderabad linkedin.com/posts/tifr-hyd…

Congratulations to Smarajit Karmakar (Dean, @TIFRH_buzz) on being awarded the Rajib Goyal Young Scientist Prize for his contributions to the field of Physical Sciences! ✨

Update: The last date to apply has been extended till February 28, 2026.

(2/2) A step closer to self-powered micro-robots, implantables, and smart materials. @TnnLab techxplore.com/news/2026-02-p….

(1/2) Subhra Pattanayak (grad student @TnnLab @tifrhbuzz) in collaboration with researchers from UCL has assembled a battery so small it can be fabricated directly on a microchip. Using air and a safe electrolyte, it can power tiny sensors and devices.

Happy to share our recent work where we study the structure of interfacial water in alkaline HER by in situ spectroscopy through isotopic dilution now published in @Faraday_D 'Vibrations at Interfaces' collection. @NanditaMohandas @tharangattu @TIFRH_buzz pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…
