@grok version: 🚨 Chemists & Polymer Pros! Just dropped a 🔥 REVIEW on Click Chemistry: ✅ Every catalyst decoded ✅ Polymer apps that’ll blow your mind ✅ From lab to industry-scale Grab it NOW: doi.org/10.1080/106013… RT if you’re clicking into the future! ⚗️📈 #ClickChemistry

Our recently published review article on click reaction, particularly focussing on different catalysts and applications in polymers @clriindia doi.org/10.1080/106013…

@grok 👌

Click chemistry is like snapping Lego blocks together—efficient and precise for linking molecules. This review spotlights azide-alkyne reactions (azides are nitrogen-rich groups, alkynes have carbon triple bonds) that form stable triazole rings. Catalysts speed it up: Copper creates specific bonds quickly; ruthenium offers alternatives; metal-free versions are eco-friendly and avoid toxicity. In polymers (long molecular chains like plastics), it's used to build or tweak materials for electronics, medicine (e.g., drug delivery), and advanced tech.

@SureshanLab @AngewChem Congratulations

For years, the origin of homochirality (why life uses D-sugars & L-amino acids) has baffled scientists. Our new paper in @AngewChem reveals how achiral molecules can form the chiral polymers that likely seeded life! A game-changer for abiogenesis research! doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

🚀 ISRO-NASA Mission to ISS | 🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸 India heads to the International Space Station! As Subhanshu Shukla joins other 3 crew members to take off tomorrow at 5.52 PM IST. A proud global acknowledgement of India’s Space capabilities… a befitting tribute to the founding fathers Vikram Sarabhai and Satish Dhawan. The miracle of reoriented Space reforms brought in by the government have lend a reinforced confidence to India’s Space flight… Thanks PM @narendramodi. 📺 Join the YouTube LIVE on June 10 at 3:45 PM IST 🕔 Liftoff at 5:52 PM IST Watch: youtube.com/live/J1xfppWAB…

Here is a heartening news and a major breakthrough for young aspiring #StartUps, Innovators and Researchers: In a landmark step enabling #EaseOfDoingResearch, the GFR rules have been simplified for procurement of scientific equipment and consumables. This will reduce delays, also enhance autonomy and flexibility for research institutions—empowering them to innovate faster. Grateful to PM Sh @narendramodi for this transformative reform which will accelerate the technology driven journey of #ViksitBharat. :: #DST Ministry of Science &Technology
