About the event
Sourabh Dube - IISER : The smallest pieces of the universe Atoms make up matter. Protons and electrons make up atoms. Quarks make up protons. Where does it end?
I will walk through the fundamental indivisible particles of our universe - I will also explain how these fundamental particles talk and interact with each other. I will talk about the Large Hadron Collider in CERN, Geneva and the CMS experiment and explain how modern experimental particle physics works! I will also give a flavor of the biggest research problems driving research today (Dark Matter, Neutrino mixing, and the Fine Tuning Problem). Mihir Iyer - Pune University: The Future is Nano How did we go from big computers to smart rings? How does the performance of a machine increase even with decreasing size? In this talk, we will explore the world of nanotechnology by understanding how to choose the right material and how to…
