This study presents the first integrated Raman spectroscopic and HRTEM investigation of the Bhawad LL6 ordinary chondrite.
In this intensely personal chapter of the commemorative volume on the late Raja Ramanna, I reflect on the remarkable individual that Dr Ramanna was and as I saw him during our years together in NIAS, from 1996 till his passing in 2004. I particularly celebrate his multifaceted personality, especially his relationships with the young faculty of the institute, his deep love for all living beings, and his inimitable sense of humour through which he saw the world.
Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems are a promising long-term storage solution for space heating applications due to their high energy density and low energy losses. Although identified as promising thermochemical materials, inorganic salt hydrates suffer from issues related to cycling stability, agglomeration, and deliquescence during charging and discharging. Using composites can help address these challenges by improving the material's structural stability and performance over multiple cycles.
