Kalpana Chawla Centre for Research in Space Science & Technology
Training students in space science, satellite development and meet future challenges in space research,
The Chandigarh University has joined the list of 13 institutes like IIT Kanpur, IIT Bombay and became the first university in North India to design and develop its own satellite
the state-of-the-art KCCRSST would be the Ground Control Station for the Chandigarh University's Student Satellite (CUSat), an in-house developed nano-satellite being designed by the students of the university and a Geo-Spatial Centre for research, besides other projects.
CSIR – National Physical Laboratory: Platinum Jubilee Celebrations
The National Physical Laboratory was conceptualized in 1943 by the governing body of CSIR. The Foundation stone was laid on the 4th of January, 1947.
It is situated in New Delhi.
It acts as the premier laboratory with the responsibility of the dissemination of measurements to the needs of the country.
Mandated as India’s National Measurement Institute, the NPL acts as the custodian of maintaining the National Standards, for example, the Indian Standard Time
A special commemorative postage stamp was released to begin the occasion along with the establishment of the LED Photometry Laboratory that envisages developing energy-efficient illumination technology.
This will save foreign exchange spent on availing the testing and calibration services from abroad and reduce turn-around time pertaining to LED lighting products.
Certification for Indian made Ambient Ozone Analyzers was also launched
Perovskite solar cells
Indian scientists have devised a new process for increasing the efficiency and stability of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods based on Perovskite Solar Cells (PSC)
Nanorods
Nanorods are one-dimensional structures that provide a directed path for electrical transport.
They are used to control the band gap by varying the radius of rods and using the quantum size effect.
Nanorods are nanostructures that are the object of fundamental and applied research.
They may be prepared from carbon, gold, zinc oxide, and many other materials
Perovskites are a family of materials with a specific crystal structure, named after the mineral with that structure.
When used to create solar cells, they have shown potential for high performance and low production costs
It will help develop solar cells with stable light-harvesting active layer.
Perovskite solar cells have become commercially attractive because of the potential of achieving even higher efficiencies and very low production costs.
Porosity of the electrode plays a vital role in perovskite infiltration and sensitization.
The inter-pore distance between the two TiO2 nanorods determines the photo-electrode's porosity, and the porosity varies as the growth of the nanorod length increases.
The team controlled nanostructures of the TiO2-NR by varying the concentration of the titania precursor and the growth time
