Introduction Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensors stand at the forefront of label-free biosensing technologies, relying on the excitation of surface plasmons—coherent electron oscillations—at metal-dielectric interfaces. The resonance condition, and hence the sensor’s response, is acutely sensitive to changes in the local refractive index, making SPR particularly valuable in the detection of biomolecules, chemicals, and environmental […]
Introduction Zeta potential, often denoted as ζ-potential, is the electrokinetic potential that develops at the slipping plane of a particle in a liquid medium. It quantifies the electrical potential difference between the dispersion medium and the stationary layer of fluid attached to the dispersed particle. In simple terms, it measures the degree of electrostatic repulsion […]
Introduction Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRI) has emerged as a pivotal label-free optical technique that enables real-time observation of biomolecular interactions and cellular dynamics. Unlike conventional fluorescence-based assays, SPRI relies on monitoring changes in the refractive index at a metal-dielectric interface—typically involving gold films—making it highly sensitive to surface-bound molecular events. This unique capability allows […]
Introduction Solid-state batteries (SSBs) represent a major technological shift in energy storage, particularly when compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. The fundamental difference lies in the replacement of the liquid electrolyte with a solid-state counterpart, which offers improved energy density, safety, and longevity. As demand grows in sectors like electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, and renewable […]
Introduction The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of physics has emerged as one of the most promising and transformative developments in recent scientific history. No longer confined to optimizing experiments or crunching numbers, AI systems are now actively contributing to hypothesis generation, simulation, data interpretation, and even the formulation of physical laws.

Introduction The concept of a “digital twin of the heart” represents a remarkable convergence of computational modeling, artificial intelligence, and cardiovascular medicine. At its core, it is a dynamic, data-driven virtual replica of an individual’s heart, continuously updated in real time with personalized medical data. This technology promises to transform cardiology by offering precise simulations […]
Introduction The increasingly intertwined nature of physical systems in modern engineering and scientific endeavors has rendered traditional single-physics approaches insufficient. As systems grow more complex—across automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and energy domains—the need to accurately simulate interactions between various physical phenomena has become essential. This is where multiphysics simulation steps in. Multiphysics simulation refers to the […]
Introduction The confluence of microfluidic technology and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing represents a pivotal advancement in the evolution of miniaturized analytical systems. Historically, SPR sensors—while extremely sensitive to refractive index changes at the nanoscale—have been encumbered by operational limitations. These include reliance on manual sample delivery, low multiplexing throughput, and often bulky system architecture. […]
Introduction Nanoscience, as an academic discipline, represents one of the most dynamic intersections of modern scientific inquiry, bringing together physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering to study and manipulate matter at the nanometer scale. With advances in nanotechnology shaping industries from medicine to renewable energy, higher education institutions are increasingly tasked with preparing the next generation […]
Introduction The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into university curricula is no longer a futuristic consideration—it is an immediate necessity in a digital world rapidly reshaped by automation, data analytics, and intelligent systems. As the Fourth Industrial Revolution demands a technologically literate workforce, universities have a pressing responsibility to prepare students accordingly. In higher education, […]
