Hey, Soft Matter community! Online Seminar Alert! Speaker: Prof. Giorgio Volpe Sept 12, 3:30 PM (IST) bit.ly/3Ldq0W0 #activematter IISER Pune IISER Pune Physics

Our f&%kery knows no upper limits. That's right, global surface temperatures just set a new record anomaly yesterday, a full 0.84°C above the 1991-2020 mean, beating the previous high of 0.82°C set earlier this year and the previous record anomaly of 0.83°C set in 2016.

We've uploaded the recent online seminar on Active matter by Giorgio Volpe on our Chapter's YouTube channel. Find it here. bit.ly/44SIbYb We also have many other talks uploaded there. Go check them out. IISER Pune G V Pavan Kumar IISER Pune Physics

Had 'enlightening' #outreach session with students of University Of Pune. #Optics demonstrations explaining interference, polarisation, and interactions of light with liquid crystals. Optica Student Chapter Advisor: G V Pavan Kumar, IISER Pune

Had a fun interaction session yesterday with class 11th students from Pune. Did Optics demonstrations explaining interference, polarisation, and light-liquid crystals interactions. Optica StudentChapter Advisor: G V Pavan Kumar, IISER Pune PhotoCredits:Eksha

Researchers in G V Pavan Kumar IISER Pune experimentally probe emergence of directional rotation in active-passive colloidal system. It is at the interface of optical trapping, active-matter and thermodynamics rahul chand Eksha Diptabrata Paul pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Announcing a movie screening at IISER Pune with Murali. FireInTheBlood shows the struggle of poor countries against bigPharma and their patent laws to have access to life saving generic drugs. Screening will be followed by QnA on law, innovation, and IPR. Optica

Drop by today in LHC101 at 5:30 for an insightful event. Event open to all! IISER Pune

Thanks to ISPP2026 for giving me this opportunity to present my work.

We are happy to have another interesting online talk in our seminar series! Prof. Síle Nic Chormaic will give a talk titled: 'From cold atoms to microbeads - manipulation using ultrathin optical fibres' Feb 13, 12PM IST on Zoom @ bit.ly/496vFaz IISER Pune Optica

We are happy to announce an amazing event this week! Prof Deepak Jain will talk about The Art of Self-Promotion for Young Researchers! The event is in person on Feb 15th, 11AM, in Seminar room 31 in Main Building IISER Pune Drop in if you're around Optica

We will be hosting our alumni, Deepak Kumar Sharma, at IISER Pune for an offline talk on 'All-dielectric metasurfaces for 3D detection and holographic projection.' March 1st, 4PM in the Seminar Room 31 in the Main Building. IISER Pune Physics Optica

IISER Pune Optics Team participated in the National Science Day event at IISER Pune. We showed the concepts of optics & our research to school students and teachers using simple experiments! We thank ScienceActivityCentre IISER Pune and @IISERPune for the amazing opportunity! Optica

We have an arxiv preprint : We explore some dynamic regimes of optical matter driven by heat+light... arxiv.org/abs/2411.12488 rahul chand Ashutosh Shukla & Sneha Boby

We have a new preprint - Synchronized motion of gold nanoparticles in an optothermal trap The central circle indicates anchored gold nanoparticles stuck to the glass, & the 2 moving circles are gold colloids that are trapped synchronously due to the optothermal potential. 1/2

link to arxiv preprint : arxiv.org/abs/2411.15512

At @compflu2024, Sneha Boby from our group got best poster award She presented our recent work on optical binding of gold nanoparticles.. Congratulations Sneha!

To wind up the year, we have a manuscript acceptance in ACS Photonics.. kudos to rahul chand and Ashutosh Shukla...super effort by them & thanks to the anonymous reviewers who made us think...
