Zeroing In

There is something unique about chemical sciences that has always puzzled modern society. 2+2 shouldn’t necessarily be a 4 — it can also be an 8 or perhaps a hundred, depending on where and how the twos are summed. Understanding these combinations takes a lot more than what meets the eye — from the tiny bonds to humongous chains, chemistry tackles it all! Our next guest, Dr. Sreejaleskhmi K.G., cu...

Building things from scratch, creating revolutions from ideas, and evolving continually throughout — our guest for this episode, a physicist and currently an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, has done it all! Having lived and outgrown the Moore’s law, Dr. Jinesh K.B. in our conversation with him, elaborated on the evolution of science in the the field of...

As we are trying to expand our horizons in science, we are also moving closer and inwards, into the intricate, invisibly tiny details. Leaps in physics have led to marvels in technology. Computers have shifted from humongous rooms on to Petri dishes, and while it may all seem like magic to us, our next guest creates this magic on a daily basis.  Hear on for the excerpts from our conversation...

In the grand — the grandest— scheme of things, expanding our reaches out in space has perhaps been the most astonishing and awe inspiring feat in human history. In conversation with Dr. R. V. Ramanan, an eminent scientist from the Indian Space Research Organisation, who has made pivotal contributions to the Indian Space Program since 1984, most notably, on planning the mission to Mars, and as the...

It's wondrous just imagining about space and the infinite bounds of our existence! Making things worth sending out there designed to explore the unknown, precise every bit in an immeasurable infinity, is a pursuit far from any trivialities. Have you wondered about the questions, ideas and inspiration, it takes to scale a leap up to these marvels in space? Hear on for the excerpts from the conversa...

In an era where computers and networks are inseparable parts of our lives, would you dare to imagine what these ideas might have looked like a few decades ago when they were nothing but idealistic concepts?  We discussed the realities and challenges of that world further with Prof. B.S. Manoj who experienced this revolution first hand from a scientific perspective, and continues to create and...

Do you wonder about a world before computers and networks, and what the scientific field of a revolutionary technology looks like during its most humble beginnings? Hear on for the excerpts from the conversation where Prof. B.S. Manoj shared insightful ideas from his journey and his research addressing the extremely exciting and revolutionary field of networking and communications! Cover art by Ak...

The universe is vast and filled with fascinating mysteries through and through. What does it take to work every day on unraveling the puzzles that lie far beyond our reach, and yet within the sight? We discussed this further with Dr. Anand Narayanan on his journey in astronomy and astrophysics, his ideas, and the research work that keeps him on his toes, looking forward to each day. Delve in to di...

Our place in this vast unknown as humans, has long been a source of constant questioning. What does it take to tackle these questions head-on on a daily basis, and what lies at the scientific perspective of it all? In conversation with Dr. Anand Narayanan, an astrophysicist from Asia's first space institute, the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. Stay tuned to listen to the whole co...
