As each session concludes, I am loving how the narrative is changing from 'the analysis of our material with synchrotron X-rays was challenging' to 'we are challenging synchrotron X-rays with the analysis of our material.'

An interesting read!

Couldn't have picked a better book to kick off 2024! Do check it out!

Lo and behold the door to the exotic world of solid-state chemistry...New year surprise from my institute!

💯 Couldn't agree more.
By 'choosing' to do over 'having' to do something, be it experiments/data analysis/writing etc, I found that my PhD days were actually turning out to be more exciting.

Reading the literature, it seems as though everything is known. But analyzing practically any dataset yourself quickly reminds you how little we can actually explain.

Humbled by the honor.
HyPe-23 was a wonderful journey with the halide perovskites. Interacting with Maksym Kovalenko was a dream come true and the lessons I gathered from him will remain an inspiration for the PhD journey ahead.

Learning about perovskite nanocrystals from none other than Prof. Maksym Kovalenko! It was indeed a great learning experience interacting with him and his students. Finding our Masters student Aditya Bharadwaj with the team adds to the charm! Maksym Kovalenko KovalenkoLab

It all starts with you spotting an anomaly in experiments…

Louis Brus, a Nobel laureate of 2023, describes his story to Nature Nanotech.

Few important points and my comments:

1️⃣ It all started when Louis Brus was reading a review paper on micelles in water. Accidentally,

Do check out this work from our group. Way to go Vaishali Taneja and Subarna Das . Never felt happier!!

An academic milestone moment after being conferred the M.S. degree and awarded the best M.S. thesis prize. Heartfelt gratitude to my guide Kanishka Biswas and my lab Biswas Lab. Special shout out to moinak dutta Paribesh Acharyya
