The Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) is an Indian research institute that works with the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.[1][2]
History
The Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) was established in 1991 by Sivaramakrishna Chandrasekhar. In 2021, Dr BLV Prasad appointed as director.[3]
Research activities
Materials research
CeNS was involved in materials research, encompassing various length scales. exploration of a wide range of materials, metal and semiconductor nanostructures, liquid crystals, gels, membranes, and hybrid materials. CeNS made contributions to addressing the challenges posed by COVID-19 in India.[4]
Electrochromic smart window
In 2022, CeNS engineered a polymeric electrochromic smart window,[5] as an alternative to costly conventional smart windows in contemporary architectural structures.[6]
