This study raises doubts about some fundamental ideas of electrostatics, namely the uniqueness theorems. The Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) gives us very simple formula for charge density distribution (ρe) within fluids. Here we show... more
Spatial confinement in nanoporous media affects the structure, thermodynamics and mobility of molecular soft matter often markedly. This article reviews thermodynamic equilibrium phenomena, such as physisorption, capillary condensation,... more
A superluminal quantum-vortex model of the electron and the positron is produced from a superluminal double-helix model of the photon during electron-positron pair production. The two oppositely-charged (with Q = ±e sqrt (2/α) = 16.6e)... more
Solutions of most globular proteins are charge-stabilized. Charge screening, salting-in and salting-out behavior via addition of salts are available ways controlling the phase behavior of the solutions. However, multivalent salts have... more
An alternative to Roger Penrose's "OR" needing an obscure high energy quantum gravity using only battle-tested low energy condensed matter physics, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and the post-Bohmian weak measurement Lagrangian... more
(READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING THE EXAM) (Answer the following questions by filling up the provided OMR sheet by darkening the appropriate option by only " BLACK BALL POINT PEN ". Out of four options only one option is... more
Researchers in many fields including cell biology, neuroscience, biomedicine and bioengineering continue to face significant challenges that emerge from the astonishing complexity of living organisms. While a strict mechanistic view of... more

WE DO NOT WANT US TO KNOW THAT WE ARE GODS ALL HUMANS ARE GODS IF EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF OUR MINDS IS A HOAX (ILLUSION) AND IT IS THEN US TALKING HUMANS CREATE IT EVERY MICROSECOND, AND WE DO. WE PLANTED THE HOAX SO THAT WE WILL WAKE UP... more
In this manuscript we report pH induced micellar transition in aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the presence of three weakly polar aromatic additives viz. p-toluic acid, p-cresol and p-toluidine scrutinized by... more
This research was funded by, and implemented within, a UK national research organisation, while the author was the KE and Impact Evaluation Manager responsible for assessing impact on a £15m UK government-funded research programme. This... more
S. M. Morris, D. J. Gardiner, F. Castles, P. J. W. Hands, T. W. Wilkinson, and H. J. Coles Official link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3670041 PDF: http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/~fc252/APL_99_253502_2011.PDF We demonstrate a fast-switching... more
TIME - TEACHING A BUNCH OF PHYSICISTS ABOUT TIME. THEY WILL NEVER GET IT. SAD. THE ESSAY IS QUITE EXCELLENT. THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLIMENTS.
Why there's No velocity higher than Light Velocity C =300000 km/sec? Because • The Matter is created from light beams coherence (according to Young Experiment-The Main Hypothesis) • The Time is created as the Matter Changing measurement •... more
International Journal of Recent advances in Physics (IJRAP) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal, addresses the impacts and challenges of Physics. The journal documents practical and theoretical results which make a fundamental... more
A number of features of living systems, reversible interactions and weak bonds underlying motor-dynamics; gel-sol transitions; cellular connected fractal organization; asymmetry in interactions and organization; quantum coherent... more
In this paper, we present a method for determining the area in which an airplane that has feared to crash in open waters can be found. We then utilize our models to help plan for future aircraft disasters by finding areas of high search... more
The many-particle Langevin equation, written in local coordinates, is used to derive a Brownian dynamics simulation algorithm to study the dynamics of colloids moving on curved manifolds. The predictions of the resulting algorithm for the... more
In block copolymer-mediated synthesis of gold nanoparticles, block copolymers are known to control the nucleation and growth of the nanoparticles, which in turn decides the synthesis output (formation rate, yield, shape, size and... more
We introduce a comprehensive numerical framework to generically infer the emergent macroscopic properties of uniaxial nematic and cholesteric phases from that of their microscopic constituent mesogens. This approach, based on the full... more
Aqueous micellar solutions of a nonionic surfactant p-tert-octylphenoxy polyethylene (9.5) ether, Triton X-100 (TX-100) in the presence of cinnamic acid and its hydroxyl derivatives viz. p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and... more
""We report the high-yield synthesis of gold nanoparticles in block copolymer-mediated synthesis where the nanoparticles have been synthesized from hydrogen tetrachloroaureate (III) hydrate (HAuCl4.3H2O) using P85 (EO26PO39EO26) block... more
In this work, our prime focus is to study the one to one correspondence between the conduction phenomena in electrical wires with impurity and the scattering events responsible for particle production during stochastic inflation and... more
We examine the scaling with activity of the emergent length scales that control the nonequilib-rium dynamics of an active nematic liquid crystal, using two popular hydrodynamic models that have been employed in previous studies. In both... more
The evolution of the interaction and the resultant structure in the mixed system of anionic silica nanoparticles (Ludox LS30) and non-ionic surfactant decaethylene glycol monododecylether (C12E10), undergoing phase separation, have been... more
Azopolymers are well known organic materials for polarization holographic recording due to the induced anisotropy under illumination with polarized light. They possess all the desirable characteristics of the known polarization-sensitive... more
A semiflexible harmonic chain model with extensible bonds is introduced and applied to the stretching of semiflexible polymers or filaments. The semiflexible harmonic chain model allows to study effects from bending rigidity, bond... more
Inspired by the Penrose-Hameroff thesis, we are intuitively led to examine an intriguing correspondence of 'induction' (by fields), with the complex phenomenon of (metabolism-sustained) consciousness: Did sequences of associated induction... more
The formation of high concentration gold nanoparticles at room temperature is reported in block copolymer-mediated synthesis where the nanoparticles have been synthesized from hydrogen tetrachloroaureate (III) hydrate (HAuCl4.3H2O) using... more
Computational thermodynamics using density functional theory ab initio codes is a powerful tool for calculating phase diagrams. The method is usually applied at the standard pressure of p = 1 bar and where the Gibbs energy is assumed to... more
