The phase change from liquid to vapour may or may not lead to fast fluid flows. In boiling, the bubbles - once formed - remain peaceful, yet when nucleated due to a transient pressure reduction they probe extreme conditions of matter during their collapse. While the spherical symmetry with its singular energy focusing ability has attracted a lot of attention, already slightest disturbances hampers the converging flow.

Reflections on Choices and Risks for Impact in Academic Life: A Personal Perspective

Professor of Centre for Nano Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. INDIA. www.cense.iisc.ac.in/rudra-pratap

Meeting link: https://bit.ly/3sT7nuz MS Teams

Academic life at the university level, with its intrinsic freedom in most settings, is full of choices. These choices include high risk research, turning teaching on its head, taking extreme positions on ideology, becoming a perpetual cynic, making life run on an autopilot, or becoming a silent rebel by doing almost nothing.

Meeting link: MS Teams

The ability to manufacture micro-scale sensors and actuators has inspired the robotics community for over 30 years. There have been huge success stories; MEMS inertial sensors have enabled an entire market of low-cost, small UAVs. However, the promise of ant-scale robots has largely failed.

Meeting link: MS Teams

Architected materials (or mechanical metamaterials) derive their macroscopic properties from a carefully engineered small-scale structural architecture - rather than from composition and microstructure as in conventional materials.
