Yamuna Krishnan wins Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award

30 Sep 2013

By Rowan Frame, Commissioning Editor.

Dr Yamuna Krishnan has received the prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award for Chemical Sciences. The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Awards are India’s top awards for excellence in science and technology and are given annually to young scientists below the age of 45 who have made outstanding contributions in any field of science and technology.

The Award was instituted in 1957 in the honour of late Dr Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar, an eminent scientist, founder director and principal architect of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). This year, eight scientists received awards on the 71st Foundation day of CSIR. Dr Krishnan was the only recipient in the Chemical Sciences Category. A full list of winners can be found here.

Yamuna Krishnan is a scientist at the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bangalore, India. Her research involves understanding the structure and dynamics of unusual forms of DNA and translating this knowledge to create DNA-based nanodevices for applications in bionanotechnology.

Dr Krishnan is a Nanoscale Associate Editor. You can submit your best research to her Editorial Office at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/nr.

Here is one of Dr Krishnan’s recent articles in Chemical Communications:

Tunable, colorimetric DNA-based pH sensors mediated by A-motif formation
Sonali Saha, Kasturi Chakraborty and Yamuna Krishnan
Chem. Commun., 2012,48, 2513-2515

Nanoscale Cake Definitely Not Nanoscale

10 Sep 2013

By Rowan Frame, Commissioning Editor.

Last week Nanoscale held a cake reception at the ChinaNANO13 conference in Beijing to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST). The journal Nanoscale is a collaborative venture between RSC Publishing NCNST in Beijing.

The ChinaNANO13 conference was the fifth biennial International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology. The conference covered all things nano from carbon nanomaterials to nanobiotechnology. The only thing there that wasn’t nano was the Nanoscale Cake, which was quite enormous.

Nanoscale has also published a collection of articles, guest edited by Xingyu Jiang to mark the 10th anniversary of NCNST. Take a look at the collection here.
