This convocation also marked the graduation of the first batch of B.Tech. students in Energy Engineering. In the postgraduate category, the first cohort from three new programmes—M.Tech. in Robotics, M.S. (Research) in VLSI Design, Tools and Technology, and M.S. (Research) in Artificial Intelligence—received their degrees.
Twenty-year-old Chandan Godara, a BTech graduate in Civil Engineering, was the youngest recipient of a degree, while Gopal Krishan Taneja, aged 63, received a PhD, making him the oldest graduate this year.
Additionally, two students, Shreyansh Gupta (MTech in Thermal Engineering) and Soumili Chakraborti (MTech in Polymer Science and Technology), received the Perfect Ten Gold Medals for scoring a CGPA of 10 out of 10 in their respective programmes. Additionally, Institute Silver Medals were awarded to 16 students for securing the highest CGPA in their courses.

Students keen to explore space science at IIT (ISM) event
Dhanbad: Curiosity and excitement were palpable among hundreds of school students who gathered at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad on Wednesday to take part in a special celebration of National Space Day, jointly organised by the institute and the Regional Remote Sensing Centre-East (RRSC-East), , Kolkata. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now More than 350 students from eight schools across Dhanbad actively participated in the day-long programme, which included scientific talks, interactive sessions with ISRO scientists, a quiz competition, and a space exhibition. The event was part of the countrywide celebrations to mark the second National Space Day, commemorating the successful landing of 's Vikram lander on the Moon's South Polar Region on August 23, 2023. IIT (ISM) director Sukumar Mishra encouraged students to fuel their curiosity with knowledge, science, and engineering that ultimately contributes to the development of the nation. Arpita Paul, a student of Carmel School Dhanbad, said that such exhibitions ignite curiosity and enhance scientific temperament among students, motivating them to pursue careers in science and technology.

Researchers at IISER Pune, IIT-B develop innovative method to produce high-quality metal nanoparticles
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune and the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay have developed an innovative, cost-effective method to produce high-quality metal nanoparticles. In a new study published in the journal Small Methods, the researchers said this technique, known as confined dewetting, could have wide applications in biomedical diagnostics and chemical detection by enabling highly sensitive and reliable sensors. The study, led by Dr Ayesha Rahman (research scientist at I-Hub Quantum Technology Foundation hosted by IISER, Pune), Prof Anirban Sain (faculty member at the department of physics, IIT-Bombay), and Dr Atikur Rahman (faculty member at the department of physics, IISER, Pune), introduces a simple yet powerful approach to create uniform, high-density metal nanoparticles on various surfaces, including flat, curved and microtextured substrates. Simply put, a super-thin (about 10,000 times thinner than a human hair) layer of metal, like gold film spread on a piece of glass. When heated, the metal starts to bunch into tiny droplets as the metal tries to minimise its surface energy. The study authors explained that if the metal film is squeezed between two surfaces and heat is applied, it breaks up into tiny, uniform droplets that are packed closely together. 'This process is called confined dewetting, and it can be used to make highly sensitive sensors for biomedical and chemical applications,' they said. By sandwiching a thin metal film between a substrate and a layer of PDMS (a flexible, silicone-based material) during heating, the researchers achieved precise control over the size and spacing of nanoparticles, resulting in particles with minimal size variation and gaps as small as a few nanometers. 'This level of precision is critical for applications requiring consistent and enhanced performance, such as detecting trace amounts of biological or chemical substances,' the authors said in the report. Traditional methods of nanoparticle production are based on expensive and complex processes and often do not produce uniform nanoparticles. The researchers anticipate that this capability could enable earlier detection of diseases through biomarkers or identify minute traces of chemicals in environmental or industrial settings. Speaking on the potential applications of this new method, Dr Rahman said, 'With applications ranging from medical diagnostics to chemical analysis and beyond, confined dewetting is a game-changer in nanotechnology.'

Recently, it has been revealed that Tesla will establish its third showroom in Gurugram, having leased approximately 51,000 square feet of super built-up area in Orchid Business Park on Sohna Road for a duration of nine years. This space will house a showroom, service centre, and warehouse. According to real estate analysis firm CRE Matrix, the rent for this property amounts to Rs 4.82 crore, translating to a monthly payment of around Rs 40 lakh. Tesla has paid Rs 2.41 crore as security deposit, with monthly rent due before the 7th of each month. This property includes a total of 51 parking spaces and the lease commenced on July 15, 2025, with registration completed on July 28. Rs 20.69 Lakh Paid As Stamp Duty The agreement, registered under Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Limited, spans nine years and required a stamp duty payment of Rs 20.69 lakh. Ownership of the property is divided among three entities: Suncity Real Estate LLP holds 21%, Orchid Infrastructure Developers Private Limited owns 3.06%, and Garwal Property Private Limited possesses the largest share at 75.94%. Why Tesla Picked Orchid Business Park Tesla has strategically chosen Orchid Business Park due to its proximity to major business and residential areas of Gurugram, aiming to cater to the Delhi-NCR demographic with its premium electric vehicles. Swipe Left For Next Video View all EVs Have Huge Potential In NCR The electric vehicle market in NCR is rapidly expanding, and Tesla's entry is expected to significantly influence this sector.
