ChaSTE measurements have indicated that there is an impact of local topography on the temperature. The lunar surface temperatures show a significant spatial variability at metre scales at high latitudes, unlike at the equatorial regions, indicating towards the possible presence of widespread water-ice within the shallow subsurface of , even at high latitudes.

I am an Early Career Scientist at Institute of Nanoscience - National Research Council (CNR - NANO), Pisa, Italy. Currently, I am involve in fabricating the Josephson junction based superconducting diodes and Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs). I have a Ph.D. in Physics from a National Research Lab (Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences, Bangalore, India), where I have fabricated self-cleaning surfaces, bioinspired structural colors, ultrasensitive biomolecule sensing devices and gas sensors. I like to communicate science to the public by writing blogs, demonstrating scientific models, and invited talks at several platforms.
The Moon’s Magnetic Mystery: Chandrayaan-2 Just Changed Everything We Knew
A new study based on radio signal analysis of the Chandrayaan-2 (CH-2) orbiter, has yielded surprising information regarding the Moon’s ionosphere. The study reveals that the moon’s ionosphere exhibits unexpectedly high electron densities when it enters the Earth’s geomagnetic tail, which could be explained only by the presence of a lunar crustal magnetic field.

The Postdoc Path: How Publications and Citations Shape Academic Careers
The postdoc phase is typically considered as the most vulnerable and difficult part of an academic career. The majority of PhDs pursue postdoc positions with the hope of transitioning into faculty positions. The limited vacancy of the faculty position makes it highly competitive.

How to write a blog post on your research article?
Writing a blog on research findings can improve visibility and impact. To be effective, remember to understand your audience, define clear objectives, and create an engaging title. Simplify complex ideas, summarize research results, and use visuals. Highlight real-world applications and encourage reader interactions. Include your co-authors, promote your blog widely, and engage with reader’s comments. Last, remain transparent about limitations.
Antimatter falls down due to gravity just like regular matter
A research conducted by scientists using the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA) at the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) has confirmed that antimatter behaves similarly to matter in gravitational fields.
