Our "Hybrid electrode" work covered by Dept. of Science and Technology, GOI media cell on 21 May 2020
A novel recipe for fabrication of Hybrid electrodes which brings down its production cost by 80% compared to tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) based technology which is currently in use. In this project, along with our industrial partner Hind High Vacuum (HHV) Pvt. Ltd. , we have set-up a semi-automated production plant for production of low-cost Hybrid electrodes funded by DST-Nanomission in CeNS-Arkavathi campus. It is a good example of a successful collaboration and work between a research institute and industry.

Our effort on Tribo-E mask to protect healthy individuals from COVID 19
We, a team of researchers Dr. Pralay Santra, Dr. Ashutosh Singh, and Prof. G. U. Kulkarni from CeNS, have come up with a simple TriboE mask, which is made of commonly available materials e.g., polypropylene and nylon. When we rub these materials, it develops triboelectricity which should in principle prevent viruses, droplets and other particulate matters passing through the mask. This innovation was highlighted in DST news as well as PIB and several other news outlets. Links are given below:
