BOSE COLLOQUIUM on 24.01.2025 at the S N Bose Centre : Prof. Puru Jena from Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, delivered a lecture on the topic 'Science at the Nanoscale'. He talked about some of the unusual properties of nanoclusters by focusing on fundamental science: (1) Can a multiply charged cluster be stable and if so, what is the smallest size that can carry a fixed amount of charge? (2) Can nanoclusters with like charges attract? (3) Are noble gas atoms really noble? (4) Can atoms achieve oxidation states higher than nature intended? (5) Can salts be made with only negative ions? In addition, he also discussed how these unusual properties of nanomaterials can be leveraged to synthesize a new generation of cluster-assembled materials with a particular focus on Li-ion batteries and catalysts made of earth abundant materials.

Meeting/ Interactive Session(s) with heads of the Administration of Autonomous Bodies (ABs) under Department of Science and Technology held at Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, Maharashtra during 16 th and 17 th January 2025.
