"NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY " On National Science Day, we celebrate the importance of science in our lives and acknowledge the significant contributions that science has made to our society. This day is celebrated on February 28th, in honor of Sir C.V. Raman, the renowned Indian physicist, who discovered the Raman Effect in 1928.we dive deep into the history of National Science Day, its significance, and how it has impacted the world of science and technology. We explore the role of scientific research and innovation in shaping our modern world and driving progress in various fields such as medicine, technology, and environmental conservation. From groundbreaking discoveries to technological advancements, science has played a crucial role in improving the quality of life for people around the globe. website : https://lnkd.in/gqUrhShu call : 77997 99221 #nationalscienceday #sciencedayimportance #scientificresearch #sirCVRaman #ramaneffect #scienceandtechnology #technologicaladvancements #groundbreakingdiscoveries #medicine #environmentalconversation#manasadefenceacademy #treanding #viral

Did you know that the European Union has signed a Pact to make Europe the quantum valley of the world? 🔬 The Pact aims to increase the economic and scientific impact of European scientific excellence by investing in these technologies. By strengthening collaboration among Member States, the European Union wants to position itself as a world leader in quantum research and innovation. Here at ICN2, researchers study quantum materials and quantum technologies, nurturing the quantum technologies ecosystem.

I know commercial space screams “tourism” for many people 🙄 I dislike the term “space tourism” - it leads people to believe that commercial space companies are just flying people to orbit for a look around. Each one of Axiom’s astronauts have conducted research, such as mentioned in this article, be they a private individual or a government funded astronaut. Space has so many possibilities for cures and life-improving treatments! Commercial space companies will be part of developing these moving forward. Full stop. I am looking forward to the day where LEO research cures cancer! #spaceflight #commercialspace #spaceconomy #cancer

Cooperation in science is key to better results and better understanding. Knowledge sharing, open discussions and joint challenges is a basis for this cooperation. Transatlantic science cooperation was and is important. How can and will this last in the future? One of the questions the big Transatlantic Science Conference addresses.

The recent upgrade of ESRF - The European Synchrotron promises groundbreaking advancements in scientific #research. Enhanced X-ray beams and unprecedented #data access are revolutionising experiments and accelerating discoveries across different fields.   But with great potential come great challenges: bridging the gap between #academia and #industry, understanding their language and adapting facilities to industry needs are crucial steps in fostering a 'virtuous circle' of #innovation and collaboration.   At the heart of these challenges lies a common determination: the next generation of #researchers, ‘hungry for a better future” driving the search for solutions to societal, economic and industrial challenges. As part of the 2024 #SB Annual Conference, key stakeholders from RIs, industry, research and policy discussed how #FP10 can set a better continuum between Ris, fundamental research and industrial R&D, for the benefit of Europe’s economy and society.   Read more https://lnkd.in/dhsKAvbg

In a next step Zeynep Karagoz and Kailas Honasoge included the influence of mechanical forces on integrin clustering and nascent and focal adhesion development. The theoretical mechano-chemical model proposes that not only assembly rates but also disassembly rates play an important role in maturation fraction regulation. https://lnkd.in/eAfeE644

First one up: “Towards understanding the messengers of extracellular space: computational models of outside-in integrin reaction networks.” https://lnkd.in/eemKH-k6 In this review, Zeynep Karagoz reviewed the recent advancements in using computational models to investigate integrin signaling at three main subcellular levels (outside the cell, cell membrane, cytosol). We also discuss how these computational modeling efforts can be helpful in other disciplines such as biomaterial design.
