    Neutrino oscillation experiments establish that neutrinos have nonzero but very small masses, which is beyond the scope of Standard Model of particle physics. Radiative neutrino mass models address this by generating neutrino masses at the loop level, naturally suppressing their scale. By considering the scotogenic model, this study established a framework for the minimal mass of neutrinos at...

    Plasma sheaths are non-neutral boundary layers that form adjacent to material surfaces
    due to the higher mobility of electrons relative to ions, establishing a strong electrostatic field
    normal to the boundary. Under steady-state (DC) conditions, sheath formation is governed by
    the Bohm criterion, which requires ions to enter the sheath with a velocity exceeding a critical
    value [1–3]....

    potentials in plasma environments due to external fields, confinement effects, and plasma-
    surface interactions. Conventional...

    Co-traveling ion beams interact with one another along the beam transport path primarily through space-charge (SC) forces (coulomb), which can significantly influence beam propagation and power transport efficiency of multi-beam group-based ion sources. Previous studies in the ROBIN source have shown the role of SC interactions during transport, and their correlation with the accelerator...

    Blobs are observed in the scrape-off-layer (SOL) of various TOKAMAKs and fusion devices and opposes the core plasma confinement. SOL (the region characterized by open magnetic field lines) absorbs most of the plasma exhaust (particles and heat) and transports it along the field lines to the divertor plates. Hence, this region is of prime importance for future reactors. The operation of fusion...

    BaFe₂O₄ is an emerging functional ferrite material known for its versatile magnetic, optical, and electrochemical properties. Owing to its orthorhombic spinel-like crystal structure slightly different from typical spinal structure and narrow band gap, BaFe₂O₄ has gained attention for applications in energy storage, photocatalysis, sensing, and environmentally sustainable...

    The recycling of waste materials into reusable resources plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability and waste reduction. Rapid industrialization and urbanization have led to the large-scale accumulation of electronic waste, among which spent batteries represent a valuable secondary source of functional materials [1]. In addition to that, among various forms of pollution, water...

    Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) rely on the dynamic interplay of magnetic interaction, particles dispersion, and viscoelastic response, yet achieving long-term sedimentation stability without significantly compromising magnetic properties remains a significant challenge. This study introduces a pioneering strategy by employing polyaniline (PAni) as a scaffold-like additive to enhance the...

    Nitrogen forms the most vital organic compounds of life like amino acids, proteins, nucleoside triphosphates, the molecular precursors to nucleic acids DNA and RNA. In spite of nitrogen being highly abundant in atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by most of the living organisms. The strong triple covalent bond makes it to behave mostly like an inert gas. Nitrogen needs to combine with some...

    Molecular reactions and the interaction of molecules with charged particles and photons are
    central to the chemical sciences. In this talk, I will talk about: (i) a hybrid electrostatic ion beam trap (HEIBT) and (ii) the dissociation dynamics of molecular ions produced through interactions with charged particles and photons. The HEIBT enables coincidence imaging of
    both cationic and neutral...

    This study reports the preparation of strontium ferrite using sol-gel method with vigna radiata (moong dal) extract as a natural, plant based and eco-friendly chelating agent for supercapacitor applications. The use of plant based extract offers a cost effective and sustainable approach to material synthesis. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized strontium ferrite were...

    ZnO/g-C₃N₄ heterojunctions were synthesized by systematically varying the concentration of zinc nitrate hexahydrate, and the effect of this variation on the structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties was investigated using experimental techniques. The optical band gap energies were evaluated from UV–visible spectroscopy, revealing that the band gap of ZnO/g-C₃N₄ heterojunctions lies in...
