Source: Nature See the interesting news at http://starbulletin.com/2006/05/15/news/story06.html Pulickel Ajayan is of course quite a familiar name... looks like another Malayali is all set to make his mark.. or he has already ? Vinod P Vadakkeveedu - Guinness record holder for the smallest nanotube brushes Guess you can't just brush aside this one :-) . Quite an impressive record http://www2.hawaii.edu/~vinodpv/index.html So may be not only does nanoindia inc has a future, nanomalayali inc too... !!

Chanced uopn this "colorful" article. Actually my aim is to prevent spectral broadening (in my M-L lasers), and this one's on spectral broadening (something that they call "super continuum generation") . Oh yeah, the grass seems to be colorful on the other side :-) http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/ugrad/tsp/images/LindeeWong.pdf
