Atomic minerals directorate(AMD) is basically a development of atomic energy and plays a very important role in the front and back ends of nuclear fuel cycle. Its major role is to identify the atomic mineral resources . The target areas are identified based on the interpretation of photological and remote sensing data and available geological information. This is followed by heliborne gamma-ray spectrometer. The potential areas delineted by heliborne surveys are taken up for ground reconnaissance radiometrics using portable gamma-ray measuring instruments. But heliborne surveys cannot be done everywhere as it is cost effective. So to avoid that a gamma-ray spectrometer kind device is fixed in satellites which can detect the areas containing potential radioactive concentration. After the areas are identified they are taken up for ground reconnaissance radio metrics. Once the uranium potentiality of an area is established, the areas are further explored for concealed mineralisation. Further the exploration take place in various stages such as sub-surface drilling, prosperity and exploration. The beach sands of few locations contain rich concentration of heavy mineral resources . AMD identifies such heavy mineral rich places, sand regions along the costal and estimate the resources of individual minerals.

An Industrial visit for I year BE Physics Cycle students to ISRO, Bangalore was organized on 17th October 2016 under the guidance of Mrs. Anupama S Associate Professor, Head of Department of Physics and Mrs. Shwetha K P Associate professor, Department of Physics. Around hundred students visited ISRO. Students were introduced about ISRO and its space programme by Sri. Srinivas, Scientist. He talked about Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the founding father of Indian space programme who quickly recognized the benefits of space technologies for India and had put edifices for ISRO whose vision is to Harness space technology for national development, while pursuing space science research and planetary exploration. Different life models of satellites were exhibited starting from India's first satellite, Aryabhata, which was launched by the Soviet Union on 19 April 1975, Rohini which became the first satellite to be placed in orbit by an Indian-made launch vehicle, SLV-3. the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) for launching satellites into polar orbits and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). We also visited different units in ISRO involved in ultra modern design, development, fabrication and testing facilities for satellites.

Prof.Bikramjith Basu explained Development of multifunctional Bioceramics and external field stimulated self functionality modulation: A new Paradigm”.
Bioceramics play an extensive role in biomedical materials. The development of these materials and diversity of manufacturing techniques has broadened the applications that can be used in the human body. They can be in the form of thin layers on metallic implants, composites with a polymer component, or even just porous networks. These materials work well within the human body for several reasons. They are inert, and because they are resorbable and active, the materials can remain in the body unchanged. They can also dissolve and actively take part in physiological processes, for example, when hydroxylapatite, a material chemically similar to bone structure, can integrate and help bone grow into it. Common materials used for bioceramics include alumina, zirconia, calcium phosphate, glass ceramics, and pyrolytic carbons.One important use of bioceramics is in hip replacement surgery. The materials used for the replacement hip joints were usually metals such as titanium, with the hip socket usually lined with plastic. The multiaxial ball was tough metal ball but was eventually replaced with a longer-lasting ceramic ball. This reduced the roughening associated with the metal wall against the plastic lining of the artificial hip socket. The use of ceramic implants extended the life of the hip replacement parts.Cermets are also used in dentistry as a material for fillings and prostheses.

The talk given by Dr.V Satyan on Atmosphere and Climate was very interesting and mainly focussed on changing climate and weather conditions in the world.He said” Climate change is real. There will always be uncertainty in understanding a system as complex as the world’s climate. However there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring. The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and from phenomena such as increases in average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes to many physical and biological systems. It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities.
We know that the earth has become warmer over the last century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a group established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), reports that the average surface temperature of the earth has increased during the twentieth century by about 0.6° ± 0.2°C. (The ± 0.2°C means that the increase might be as small as 0.4°C or as great as 0.8°C.) This may seem like a small shift, but although regional and short-term temperatures do fluctuate over a wide range, global temperatures are generally quite stable. In fact, the difference between today’s average global temperature and the average global temperature during the last Ice Age is only about 5 degrees C. Indeed, it’s warmer today around the world than at any time during the past 1000 years, and the warmest years of the previous century have occurred within the past decade”.

Department of Science and Humanities organized three day Lecture workshop on Nano Sciences and Nano Technologies for teachers and Students and Nano mela, April 28 - 30 th 2010.It was sponsored by Indian Academy of Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore. The programme was inaugurated by Dr. Soundarajan, Director ARCI,Hyderabad who addressd the gathering quoting that Nano Education” is an emergent field of research, in line with research in nanosciences and nanoteachnologies. nano-engineered materials in automotive products include polymer nanocomposites structural parts; high-power rechargeable battery systems; thermoelectric materials for temperature control; lower rolling-resistance tires; high-efficiency/low-cost sensors and electronics; thin-film smart solar panels; and fuel additives and improved catalytic converters for cleaner exhaust and extended range. Nano-engineering of aluminum, steel, asphalt, concrete and other cementitious materials, and their recycled forms offers great promise in terms of improving the performance, resiliency, and longevity of highway and transportation infrastructure components while reducing their life cycle cost. New systems may incorporate innovative capabilities into traditional infrastructure materials, such as self-repairing structures or the ability to generate or transmit energy.
