AMPRG Members will be writing blog posts on various science and technology topics. You may find them here.
Nothing is perfect or complete from both philosophical and scientific perspective. However, one can push the boundary of efforts to displace the state towards a better one. Like all other avenues of life, in scientific and technological advancement, we endeavor to thrive with development that solves a problem holistically, but it’s not a road of rose to ply on. Development of materials or systems for specific applications requires inculcation of multiple desired properties, features and that demands unimaginable scientific efforts. Here, with this column, we attempt to showcase some of the exceptional and unparallel efforts from scientific communities towards development of a better world.
