Our best wishes to Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla for his historic journey as part of #Ax4! We were privileged to host him as an MTech student at IISc and we look forward to the outcomes of his space experiments. We wish him and the entire crew a safe and successful mission!

History made! 🚀🇮🇳 Hearty congratulations to Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla on becoming the first Indian Astronaut to head to the International Space Station! A live screening was organised at IISc for this historic launch.

Grateful to mark this Angewandte Chemie paper with a dedication to Prof. Wen-Sheng Chung National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University 國立陽明交通大學, who introduced me to chemistry. I did my very first synthesis—a calixarene—and obtained my first crystal structure in his lab. Feels like coming full circle. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Scientists at IISc have designed a hydrogel that rapidly transitions from gel to solution when exposed to copper ions. It has promising applications in targeted drug delivery and diagnostics. Read more: iisc.ac.in/copper-sensiti… #IIScresearch SubinoyRana Lab
