About the Book
How does a lab create pioneering instruments in spite of resource constraints?
How does a doctor-researcher engage with society that will let their girl child die because she might not be married in the future?
What conversations might a modern nanoscientist have with a practitioner of ancient Ayurveda?
What will be the fate of a nano-silver-enabled water filter that promises to be low cost, easy to use and effective?
Received wisdom tells us that scientific research and technological innovation brings drastic, even disruptive change and society has no option but to constantly adapt and to evolve in response. This is such a truism that we have stopped thinking it can be otherwise.
But ‘otherwise’ is indeed true. Society does deeply influence science and technology even if it is New Age. Based on six years’ research across five laboratories and three cities, Nanoscale shows us how and why as it provides an incisive, yet deeply empathetic account of scientific life, laboratory research and technological innovation at the cutting-edge of nanoscience and technology in India.

One of our best science writers for non scientific audience. Love this book and its descriptive nature, the physical description of the labs, their geography, demography, philosophy, through people voices and the last part of the book with multiple voices literally is novel and makes a high speed read.

A nice trajectory from the development of a cutting edge equipment to the fate in due course. Excellent and lucid manner in which Pankaj as described and his enthusiasm is very evident.
