BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”
No Science Nobel for one-fifth of the world's population for 94 years. Do we lack confidence in pursuing uncharted territories without external approval? How should we fund our S&T so that we work in directions that we think are important, not those who donot know us.
This year’s chemistry laureate David Baker created the first protein that was entirely different to all known existing proteins.
The protein, Top7, was a bolt from the blue for the researchers working on protein design. Those who had previously created new proteins had only been able to imitate existing structures. Top7’s unique structure did not exist in nature. Also, with its 93 amino acids, the protein was larger than anything previously produced using de novo design.
#NobelPrize
Media and academic institutions should evaluate the true significance & impact of top 2% of scientists before granting recognition or media attention. It is a list of scientists with large publications/citations but not reflecting the quality/novelty of their work in their fields
Many Congratulations to Prof. Vishal Rai, Department of Chemistry, IISER Bhopal for receiving Vigyan Yuva Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar award from Hon'ble President of India (August 22, 2024)

No, molecular vibrations do not always quench luminescence. We showed that molecular distortions caused by thermal distribution can enhance radiation rate without affecting non-radiative decays

Organic LEDs (OLEDs) captivated Rajamalli when she found she could generate a broad range of colours while developing them.
Now, her lab at IISc focuses on fine-tuning OLEDs and designing materials for their applications.

Has anyone noticed the nearly 3 times rise in retraction of S&T papers from India in last 5 years and since the launch of the ranking system (NIRF)? We are more busy playing the numbers, rather than doing good and honest science.
Check out the just accepted paper from @Rajamalligandee lab at @iiscbangalore for highly efficient #OLED devices based on TADF materials by modulating the energy gap of local and charge-transfer triplet state. I thank @Rajamalligandee

We are delighted to share that Prof. Abhijit Patra, Dept. of Chemistry has been elected as a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI).
Many congratulations to him on this accomplishment. We wish him many more laurels in the future.

We are excited to share our recently published manuscript in Advanced Science -
Here, we achieved high triplet exciton concentration over 2.3 × 10−2 M and afterglow imaging in aqueous medium approaching the diffraction limit https://t.co/GIeY9JxQSV
Warmest congratulations to Dr. Nitin T. Patil on the well-deserved recognition of receiving the esteemed J C Bose National Fellowship for his remarkable achievements in the field of chemical sciences. Dr. Patil @ThePatilGroup is the first JC Bose fellow of @iiserbhopal
Check out our feature article demonstrating the fundamentals and emerging applications of triplet harvesting by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)
New Feature Article out now from Shuzo Hirata & Bahadur Sk at @uectokyo. Now included in our 2023 Pioneering Investigators Collection:
'Förster resonance energy transfer involving the triplet state'

India's investment to R&D is stuck at 0.65% since 2014. It is embarrassing that India spends $43 per capita in research. Even Brazil ($173) or Malaysia ($293) spends much more. $5 trillion economy will remain a pipedream if knowledge generation within is ignored.
MSc in Physics with NET or PhD. Per class salary INR 300!!!! 4 lectures a week, monthly 12 lectures, total 4800!!!
My maid’s per day salary (for working abt 2 hrs) is more than that.
After this we ask why our education quality is bad!!!!!!
