Lightweight, high strength material for next generation mobility and infrastructure
Dr. Ramendra Gupta
Advanced material science has made products made of lightweight, high strength materials step out of the high-value aviation segment, and penetrate the low-cost products in automotive and rail, construction, general machinery, and sports. Metal Industries and automakers are now investing heavily to create new alloys with enhanced properties by employing the most recent techniques.
Thinking beyond
Dr. Anant Raheja
It takes conscious effort to create scaled-up models based on present-day reality. It is more like building bridges, where we start at one abutment and create a path towards the head, with the knowledge that the other side exists. An innovator may not always create something completely new, rather S/he may do something very differently or at a different scale altogether. But always within the realm of possibility.
Nano-sized nutrition: The key to unlocking sustainable agriculture
Dr. Aleena Cherian
Traditional fertilizers rely on the soil to absorb and transport nutrients to the plant, which can be a slow and unreliable process, as the soil may not contain enough of the right nutrients, or they may be washed away by irrigation. Environmentally friendly fertilizers with high nutrient use efficiency and necessary chemical composition can be tailored using nanotechnology.
