🎓 Milestone Achieved! Shubham Sahu becomes 25th PhD student to successfully defend his thesis from Prof. G. Mugesh’s Lab at IISc. Congratulations @mugeshg and @yahoosahoo and all alumni! Grateful to Prof.@SangitK35711415 for chairing the defense.

@AdityaBasu2001 It does look like that😂

a phd recruitment weekend visitor absent-mindedly exclaimed "whoa the department looks like an airport" and idk why that cracked me up so much 😂😂

#SABIC2024 The Biological Inorganic Chemistry Symposium was as Advanced as one can imagine. The scientific-talks, the speakers, the topics, the management and the food everything was exquisite. Found it way more interesting and interactive than I thought.

Prepping KBr pellets inside the glovebox seems a technique so difficult that just the thought of it is currently filling me with dread 😓

Excitement for Chemistry Nobel Prize Announcement in GM lab. This time tiny quantum dots win the race and bring themselves to the same level where the huge Vitamin B12 stood in 1964. Congratulations to the winners! @NobelPrize

This week, scientists have been STUNNED by the possible discovery of room-temperature superconductivity. IF it is true, humanity might have passed a HUGE milestone. The impact will be WAY bigger than the combined impact by ChatGPT, artificial AI and anything else you’ve heard of. In #science, this discovery is much bigger than any graphene, Li-ion batteries, observation of black holes, and even Higgs boson. ▫️ In a long run, the consequences can be bigger than the outcome of industrial revolution and discovery of nuclear reactions and energy. It will deeply transform the humanity. ▫️ I’m putting a list of things that come to my mind. However, there are many more points in reality. Some changes will be so "core" that we can't even foresee them today. 1⃣ Electric vehicles and levitating high-speed trains will benefit immensely. We will see a drastic increase in energy efficiency. Putting it together with high-efficiency superconducting motors, I wonder - "Gas stations will become obsolete?". 2⃣ Energy Storage and Transmission. First, we will see the emergence of LOSSLESS electrical grids with extremely long distance of electricity transmission. Second, a RT superconducting coil is a “perfect battery”. It can store and release a lot of energy with 100% cycling stability and ulta-slow “self-discharge”. It will change everything, from power grids to space shuttles. 3⃣ Computers!!! We will see the emergence of ultrafast, low-energy-consuming computing devices. Stable quantum computing at RT may become a perfectly feasible thing. Overall, this will revolutionize the ways we build computers and devices. 4⃣ Extraordinary sensors in everyday life. Currently, regular superconducting sensors (e.g. near-IR single-photon detectors, or magnetic field sensors) need very low temperatures and are used in very specific/expensive domains. RT superconductors will bring them to our houses, changing the technologies around us forever. 5⃣ Super-cheap MRI machines for medical diagnostics. MRI relies on superconductors, but they can operate at very low temperatures, making the instruments super-expensive. With RT superconductors, they will become compact and cheap. New era for accessible medical diagnostics! 6⃣ High-efficiency and powerful motors. When conventional electric motors incorporate superconducting materials, it will make them a LOT more efficient. Reduced energy consumption + smaller size will revolutionize the industrial machinery and appliances. I am sure that airplanes with electric propulsion will finally become possible. 7⃣ Nuclear fusion may become viable (and controllable) because superconductors are one of the key ingredient. As you see, such a discovery will change the world as we know it. ▫️ Now, the key question is - can someone reproduce these results? As far as I see, many groups have jumped into this topic. Let’s wait for the outcome! #AcademicTwitter #Engineering

To current MSc students in the field of biology, if you are looking to do a 1-yr internship in an R&D industry and provided your university/institute allows that, you can connect with me. DMs are open. There might be some opportunities for you.

Making microbes do reactions that never existed in Nature! Wonderful and truly inspiring work @Nature . Congratulations to @jaykeasling @Keasling_Lab @BalskusLab and all the authors.

Fluorescent Friday in Prof. G. Mugesh's Lab @iiscbangalore

Plants can cry! Stressed plants emit airborne sounds that can be recorded and classified. I am amazed by these findings published in Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

#openday @iiscbangalore The Institute is celebrating it's exhibition of Science for the Public. It's open for all today. Experience the diversity, thrill, fun, beauty and applicability of Science and Engineering!

@AdityaBasu2001 @iiscbangalore @souravd32298557 @kusajiraul @SATISHK48662537 @mugeshg @sscu_iisc Looking forward to it✌

Curious to witness a stunning redox sequence🔄 in action? Excited to know how forensic scientists🔎 visualise latent fingerprints? Want to make colourful “worms”🐛 within seconds? Visit our (the Mugesh Lab) stall at Div. of Chemical Sciences on #OpenDay 2023 @iiscbangalore!🤩

@Barshachirps @RoySocChem This is an interesting design of the molecule as NO donor. Even intersting is the formation of Fluorescent Organic Nonoparticles. I am curious about the chemical changes which lead to formation of aggregates. Is there any possibility of formation of amphiphilic species?

Greetings everyone, I'm glad to participate in #RSCPoster 2023 @RoySocChem. My work is all about the role of light stimuli on a small organic fluorophore leading to NO release, FONs formation and organelle switching. #RSCChemBio, #RSCMat, #RSCNano. The HD poster is in comment.

@UpSkillYourLife Nice recommendations!

@ArindamPhysics Thank you sir for pointing that out. I am sometimes surprised how a committee can take such decisions!! I hope they realise the very aim of the fellowship soon.

The PMRF fellowships are creating random differences among the PhD students. The methodology needs to be more transparent on how are the fellowships being awarded.
