Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals quantum materials have become important building blocks for future electronic, photonic, phononic and quantum devices. The highly enhanced Coulomb interactions in the atomically thin quantum 2D materials, arising from the reduced dimensionality and weak dielectric screening, allows the formation of tightly bound excitons, biexcitons and interlayer biexcitons....

The proton sits at the heart of every atom, yet its internal structure remains one of the deepest challenges in physics. Its properties, such as its mass and spin, do not arise simply from its constituent quarks, but from the complex, strongly interacting dynamics of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). At low energies, QCD is strongly coupled and resists analytic solutions, making the emergent...

Semiconductors have played an important role in the development of information and communications technology, solar cells, solid state lighting. Nanowires are considered as building blocks for the next generation electronics and optoelectronics. In this talk, I will present the results on growth of nanowires, nanomembranes and microrings and their optical properties. Then I will discuss...

Search for violation of fundamental symmetries provides a unique opportunity for testing the Standard Model. Atomic and molecular experiments offer a low energy and comparatively inexpensive alternative to high energy accelerator research in this field. As the observable effects (such as parity violation, PV) are expected to be very small, highly sensitive systems and extremely precise...

Sunspots, together with their stellar counterparts—starspots—serve as powerful tracers of magnetic activity on solar and stellar surfaces. Although visually dark, these regions are acoustically rich, as their intricate magnetic structures strongly influence the propagation of pressure waves. In this work, I present a comparative helioseismic investigation of sunspots on the Sun and extend the...

Antimatter remains one of the most intriguing frontiers in modern physics. The most readily available form of antimatter is the positron, the electron antiparticle, which can briefly bind with an electron to form positronium (Ps)—a short-lived, hydrogenic ‘atom’. Positron and positronium can used to explore and test our understanding of scattering dynamics and fragmentation in antiparticle...

Over the past five years, university education has undergone significant transformation. The lingering effects of COVID lockdowns have reduced student attendance, while the widespread availability of AI tools has made it easier for students to outsource the cognitive effort behind many assessments. These shifts have contributed to increased isolation, declining wellbeing, and a rise in mental...

Many discoveries in particle physics obtained on high luminosity colliders will be impossible without development of sophisticated semiconductor radiation detectors and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for their multichannel readout electronics. Among them different kind of strip detectors , pixelated detectors , detectors utilising 3D detector technology, Low Gain Avalanche...
