      This paper starts with the process of radiolabelling then developing hydrogel and finally its utilization as a non invasive method in evaluation of ocular systems. The paper is a combination of nanotechnology, Pharmaceutical sciences and nuclear medicine. Its very rare to see such versatile combination.

      The paper is a combination of nanotechnology, Pharmaceutical sciences and nuclear medicine. Its very rare to see such versatile combination. The article is presented in very simple language. It took up a very common ocular drug delivery problem and try to resolve it using nanotechnology.Combination of drug and polymer is also not covered else where. its the first attempt.

  • Size quantization effect in highly stable UV emitting HgTe nanoparticles: Structure and optical properties

      The manuscript describes the synthesis of the organic ligand L-cysteine ethyl ester hydrochloride (LEEH) capped HgTe NPs and the UV absorption and emission of these NPs. The hydrophilic surface passivating LEEH agent makes the biologically harmful NPs biocompatible, which is significally meaningful in the medical application.

      This article reports detection and mapping of water (hydroxyl stretch in the infrared) on the surface of Moon. India played a key role in the mission and authors include researchers from PRL and ISRO. Implications for discovery of water are endless. Importance of water for life on a planetary body or development of geomorphic features/weathering, fueling plate tectonics (as in planet Earth) are just a few implications for such a discovery.

      This paper reports an interesting new urea-based ruthenium (II) receptor for colorimetric detection of Fluoride and oxy-anions. The binding studies were carefully carried out by different methods. I feel that this paper is more informative and useful for people working in the field of anion sensor chemistry and supra molecular chemistry.

      Robust 1D scaffolds have been designed based on the I tetraplex by a strategy of inducing bidirectional growth on 'slipped' tetraplexes, leading to nanowires more than 3 micrometres long, which grow through non-Watson-Crick base-pairing.
