Scientists Unveil Unusual Crystal Behavior on Heating
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore, have observed an unexpected reduction in local crystal symmetry when heated. This finding challenges traditional theories that suggest crystal symmetry typically increases with temperature due to entropy. Published in Advanced Materials, the research holds potential applications in phononics, thermoelectrics, and solar thermal conversion. Led by Prof. Kanishka Biswas, the team, including researchers Ivy Maria and Paribesh Acharyya, studied the behavior of the all-inor..

India’s Steel Sector Faces Uphill Decarbonization Battle
India’s steel sector, responsible for 12% of the nation’s global emissions, faces significant challenges in its journey toward decarbonization, according to Neha Verma, Director at the Ministry of Steel. Verma revealed that India emits 2.54 tons of CO2 per ton of crude steel, exceeding the global average of 1.91 tons. Despite being a key industry heavily reliant on coal, steel production is poised for rapid growth, with output expected to rise from 170 million tons to 300 million tons by 2030. Verma emphasized that the expansion will be pursued sustainably, guided by the Ministry’s roadm..
