1. Role of Non-Homologous End-Joining in Repair of Radiation-Induced DNA Double-Strand Breaks
Abstract : Efficient and correct repair of DNA damage, especially DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), is vital for the survival of individual cells and organisms. Defects in the DNA repair may lead to cell death or genomic instability and development of cancer. READ MORE

2. Multiscale modeling of atomic transport phenomena in ferritic steels
Abstract : Defect-driven transport of impurities plays a key role in the microstructure evolution of alloys, and has a great impact on the mechanical properties at the macroscopic scale. This phenomenon is greatly enhanced in irradiated materials because of the large amount of radiation-induced crystal defects (vacancies and interstitials). READ MORE

3. Electron paramagnetic resonance study of defects in SiC
Abstract : Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide bandgap semiconductor (energy gap of 3.26 eV and 3.03 eV for 4Hand 6H-SiC, respectively). With outstanding physical and electronic properties, SiC is a promising material for high-power, high-frequency and high-temperature applications. READ MORE

4. Platinum-free Electrocatalysts : Design, Synthesis, and Energy Applications
Abstract : Pt is one of the most commonly used catalysts for green energy applications, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and dye-sensitized solar cells. Although enormous effort has been put into improving the catalytic activity and minimizing the usage of Pt in the catalysts, the low abundance and high price of Pt still limit the large-scale commercialization of green energy devices and facilities.

5. Modelling of Formation and Evolution of Defects and Precipitates in Fe-Cr Alloys of Reactor Relevance
Abstract : Fe-Cr alloys form the basis of many industrially important steels. Due to their excellent resistance to radiation induced swelling, ferritic steels are expected to be used for critical structural components in advanced nuclear systems, such as fast breeder reactors, accelerator driven systems and fusion reactors.
