As a part of Diamond Jubilee Celebration year of CSIO, a seminar series comprising talk on emerging research topics are being organized at CSIO. Prof B. R. Mehta, Professor, Department of Physics, IIT Delhi delivered a talk on the topic entitled "Understanding 2D-3D interfaces for solar cell and thermoelectric applications” at 3.00 PM on 12.4.2019 in CSIO Auditorium. He said that in the case of solar cells the interface of the junctions in the solar cell to the leads outside is very important in determining the performance of the solar cell and with a special design this interface can be made to contribute to the electricity generation and increase the efficiency of the solar cell. This is of paramount importance as the dependence on renewable clean sources of energy is increasing day by day. Prior to this Prof. R. K. Sinha, Director, CSIO welcomed the chief guest and said that for the good of society CSIO has developed many technologies for the good of the society out which few notable ones are: 6MeV Linear Accelerator for Cancer Therapy, Head up Display for fighter aircraft and Earthquake warning system. He said that he hoped to provide many more technological solutions for societal and strategic applications. He said that there is a well chalked out plan to keep the pace of development of new technology and its integration with the existing system and new knowledge creation keeping a strong ethics foundation.
