Inter-Collegiate Physics Meet on 23.07.2016 at Maris Stella
College
The Department of Physics,
Maris Stella College, Vijayawada has organized an inter-collegiate Physics Meet on 23.07.2016. Students from
St.Theresa Women College, Eluru, JMJ College, Tenali, Post Graduate and under
graduate Physics students of Andhra Loyola College, P.B.Siddhartha College of
Arts and Science and Nalanda Degree College and B.Sc MPC and MPCS students of
maris Stella college had participated in this event.
Dr. B.S. Murty, Professor
& Head, Dept. of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, who was the old student of Government
Polytechnic, Vijayawada was the resource person of the event.
He is the recipient of Shanti SwarupBhatnagar Award, a Fellow of Indian
National Academy of Engineering, Indian National Science Academy, Indian
Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Sciences, Indian Institute of Metals,
Asia Pacific Academy of Materials, ASM International and AP Academy of Sciences
and so many other reputations and awards.
He delivered a talk “The Excitement of probing
advanced materials at the atomic scale”. Probing atomic materials with microscopes is parallel to astronomy
that explores the unseen world of 'inner space' inside the atom and it is
incredible that single atoms can be detected and visualised using amazing
scientific instrumentation available today. The structure of matter at atomic
scale can tell a lot about its performance in the real world which in turn can
be used to develop new advanced, stronger and lighter engineered materials with
desirable properties that require less energy to produce such as high-wear
alloys for longer-lasting parts at reasonable costs, high-temperature materials
that will enable the next generation of renewable energy technologies,
thin-strip steels that require significantly less energy to produce, and
exceptionally strong alloys with nanometre-sized grains. The successful
manufacture of such materials will provide significant environmental as well as
economic benefits, and they will have high-performance applications in a range
of industries including aerospace, transport, construction, manufacturing,
sports products, food and chemical processing, as well as in
microelectromechanical and biomedical systems.
UG
and PG students of various colleges actively participated in various contests:
i) Debate on “Mobile Use: a
distraction or development”
ii) Essay writing competition
on “The Energy Future”
iii) Just a minute talk on
physics related topics and
iv) Dumb charade in which
students had to explain physics terms through actions so that the team members
could identify the word.
The
campus was filled with vibrant energy and students actively participated and
shared their creative ideas. The deliberations of the inter-collegiate seminar
enlightened the students’ community and motivate them towards research. The
various contests provided a channel to pour out their talents and the
experience would refresh the young
minds.
Degree
Vice-Principal Rev.Sr.Innasya, The Head of Physics dept. Mrs. A. Kasturi and
senior faculty member of Physics department and Inter-Vice Principal
Mrs.M.Triveni and other faculty members of the department were present.

‘INSPIRE
CLUB MEET, 2016’ Maris Stella College
An Inter –collegiate competition
on
“LIFE of KALAM”
Guru Purnima is a national wide festival celebrated generally
in the month of July which is dedicated towards the Guru in this world. It is
all about showing gratitude towards a great teacher who taught us good things
in life and for his impeccable and passionate hard work in awakening the
youth. In this regard, Department of Physics, Maris Stella College, Vijayawada considered
it as its privilege and Celebrated
Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's Life through the ‘INSPIRE CLUB’ and organized “Inspire Club Meet 2016” on the topic “LIFE Of KALAM” at its premises on
27.07.2016 which is Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam’s first death anniversary from 2
p.m to 5 p.m. and conducted various
inter- collegiate competitions. Students
from intermediate, UG and PG sections of various colleges
participated in it.
Death was only for his physical body but through his inspiring
thoughts Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam continues to live in the minds of tillions of
people and instils confidence in youth. He inducts hope where there is
desperation. He induces peace in the minds where there is turmoil. He shows the
brighter part of life to those who are drowned in darkness. He shows the way
towards prosperity to those who are drowned in poverty. Dr.Kalam is our motivation. He is our
inspiration. His life is our celebration.
- The various competitions conducted
are as follows:
1) A discussion on the topic “Greatness
of Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam” as:
“Missile man of India” or “People's President of India”
2) An elocution on the topic, “Dr.Kalam’s quote I like the most”
3) An essay writing competition on the
topic, “ Dr.Kalam: My inspiration”
Certainly, the deliberations of the
inter-collegiate events had awakened the students’ community and motivated them
to dream for greater careers in life.

Science and Technology of Nano materials &
fundamentals to applications
The
Science and Technology of nonmaterials has created great excitement and
expectations in the last few years. It is an interdisciplinary area of research
that has been growing explosively worldwide. Nano materials have the potential
for revolutionizing the ways of modern living and play an increasingly
important role in our everyday lives. The development and application of nano
materials has a significant effect on chemical, energy, medicine, healthcare,
drug and gene delivery, electronics, communications technology, space
industries and our security. Such advanced materials manufacturing and
innovation involved in the development is targeted for wealth and health
creation and commercial success. Rigorous effort is needed to effect rapid
technology transfer from research centres into practical application. While the
materials and technologies are available, the main barrier is a lack of
awareness among the young learners about nano materials and understanding of
the properties and applications of nano materials and smart technologies. Such
awareness can be created through workshops or development of networks among
educational institutions so that students get plenty of choices for their
higher learning and right carrier choice. Therefore, the science and technology
of nanomaterials is of immense academic interest. In view of this, The
department of physics has organized one day workshop on the topic “The Science
and Technology of Nanomaterials & fundamentals to Applications” for its
B.Sc Physics students on 23.11.2016. D. Dibakar Das, PhD, Associate Professor,
School of Engineering Sciences and Technology (SEST), University of Hyderabad,
Gachibowli, Hyderabad-500046,was the resource person.
Dr Das explained the fundamentals of science and
technology of nanomaterials, the progress in the synthesis, Assembly and
fabrication of nanomaterials, and the fundamentals about potential applications
of these materials in future smart technologies. He also demonstrated the
synthesis of some nano particles by sol-gel method, co-precipitation method and
by auto combustion method to students in the chemistry lab. This one day
workshop has given hands on experience to students and enlightened them with
the knowledge of latest trends in science and technologies. Students who take
up research in such significant area of studies will have brighter job
opportunities in the near future.
