Patterning biomolecules (including proteins such as antigens and antibodies) in pre-designed, parallel architectures can be a game-changer in rapid, inexpensive diagnostics. However, typical patterning methodologies, including top-down approaches such as photolithography and e-beam lithography, or bottom-up approaches such as solgel nanofabricat...

Ultrafast THz Spectroscopy Group: Investigation of conductivity and shielding efficiency of the free-standing PVA-GO-Ag composite thin films in terahertz regime using time domain terahertz spectroscopy
In this work, the researchers from ultrafast and THz lab at IISER Kolkata have prepared five free-standing films of PVA-GO-Ag composites by varying AgNP weight fractions (0.0 wt. % to 0.64 wt. %) and investigated them using our home-built THz-TDS setup in 0.45 to 2.45 THz range. Complex THz conductivities of these materials have been fitted using u...
