TECHNOLOGICAL SNIPPETS
Four New Elements discoveredIn this year, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) approved the names of the four new elements, whose existence
was first confirmed to the public back in January. The names for elements are: Nihonium (Nh), Moscovium (Mc), Tennessine (Ts), and
Oganesson (Og), having atomic number 113, 115, 117, and 118 respectively. Each of the four new elements was named either after a
scientist or geographic location. “The names of the new elements reflect the realities of our present time”. Japanese researchers found
Nihonium, which was named for the Japanese word “Nihon,” which means Japan. Russian and U.S. researchers named Moscovium for
Moscow and Tennessine for Tennessee. Finally, Oganesson was named after Yuri Oganessian, one of the foremost scientists in his field, who
was part of the Russian research team that found that element.

A Rotating Grating Improves Cancer ImagingNuclei from cervical tissue (white spots) imaged using Rice University's differential structured illumination microendoscopy (DSIMe).

Researchers from Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA, have developed and demonstrated a distally mounted rotating glass grating that,
coupled with an existing endoscope, may boost capabilities for imaging cancers deep within the body. Led by OSA Fellow and 2016
MacArthur Fellow Rebecca Richards-Kortum, the team says, its new imaging method removes the out-of-focus light scattered by soft tissue.
The device could, according to the scientists, be used to improve pre-surgical detection of tumor margins—that is, the border between
normal and cancerous cells—to improve the chances of the complete surgical removal of the cancer. The solution they came up with is a
rather backward version of structured illumination called differential structured illumination microendoscopy (DSIMe). With DSIMe, the
team added the optomechanical devices for eliminating out-of-focus light to the back of the fiber optic cable, instead of adding bulk to the
front end. The star of DSIMe is a spinning, patterned-glass grating. The researchers say the modifications do not add bulk or sacrifice the
imaging speed of the portable HRME.

Carbon Nanotubes as Single-Photon EmittersIn the Münster–Karlsruhe proof-of-concept device for an electrically driven,
chip-scale single-photon emitter, a single carbon nanotube (center) is placed
across a nanophotonic waveguide, and tied to gold electrodes. When a bias is
applied to the electrodes, the tube pumps out single photons.
Superconducting nanowires on either side of the nanotube were used as
single-photon detectors to test the system. The past few years have seen
considerable progress on the long road to quantum computers, though much
remains to be done. One persistent stumbling block toward all-optical
versions of quantum computing has been getting reliable single-photon
emitters that can be integrated at chip scale. A team led by scientists from the
University of Münster and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany,
has now proposed a possible solution: drop a carbon nanotube into the mix
(Nat. Photon., doi: 10.1038/nphoton.2016.178). While their device is very
much a proof of concept, the scientists believe that the use of such
nanotubes—which can be electrically driven to emit photons, rather than
requiring a pump laser source—could “pave the way toward all-photonic
quantum circuits on a chip.”Dr PK Gupta

ALUMNI SPEAK
In my opinion this testimonial gives me an immense opportunity to accept that I spent my college life in great
luxury and triumph."As an alumna of 2015 batch of B.Tech, I fondly reminisce about my student days living in
the Campus. NMIMS Shirpur has become an established brand name. Being placed at multiple reputed firms
and its excellent delivery has significantly contributed to my career growth and professional
accomplishments at Yodlee, where I am presently working. NMIMS has not only helped me in developing the
perfect instinct but also has helped in making myself more presentable. When I look back at the glorious 4
years, the institute has been instrumental in shaping our personalities with the myriad of events: Fests,
AISEC, and Internships.Freya BaruaB.Tech IT

Choosing the right educational institute is the biggest turning point in one's career & for me, it was in the year
2011 when I first stepped into MPSTME, NMIMS Shirpur campus away from home, feeling nervous unaware
about the opportunities and challenges I was about to crack in.It is my privilege that I am writing for the
Alumni Speak to share my experiences with the aspirants and fellow juniors. Shirpur campus prepared me
not only for just the academics but also for the real life challenges faced in the professional world. Being a
residential campus it provides a platform for various interactive forums & activities alongside the academics,
which lays the foundation for becoming better Techno-Managers. Summing up about the hostel life at
Shirpur campus is about experiencing people with diverse culture under one roof as a family, the feeling to
stand on your own feet, coming out of the comfort zone and becoming independent. it is incomparable and a
memory to live forever. At last, I would like to express my gratitude to all the faculties who guided us in some
or the other way to become who we are and would like to wish all my fellow juniors ‘Best Wishes' for their
future.

As a Student it's a privilege and honour for me to be a part SPTM Family. Journey at SPTM for 2 Years was
enriched with full of opportunities like stars shinning in the sky. It has provided me a platform for developing
my personality and also enriched me as an individual with lots of confidence and happiness. I achieved and
learnt how to achieve my final goal of being a good human being. Infrastructure is splendid, vast and fully
facilitated with all essential amenities (both optional and mandatory). Teaching facilities are excellent and
upto the marks. SPTM provides a student friendly atmosphere to the fresher's. It's incredible and provides
you all the facilities, you can say a university-town. Even the convocation ceremony is so grand that you will
feel that you are in a 'King's era'.I feel happy to be a part of SPTM, NMIMS 'A land of education'. Go for it…. Life
goes on at SPTM and you should enjoy every bit of it. I wish I could write more but nevertheless I wish SPTM
best of luck and I am thankful to SPTM, NMIMS Shirpur.

Initially I was a bit reluctant choosing B. Pharm. + MBA (MBA Pharma Tech) in SPTM, NMIMS as my career
option but then with course of time, I realized how perfectly the course is designed and the support of
dedicated faculty have groomed each one of us to gain a significant position in Pharmaceutical Industry.
SPTM, College-Industry interface (Industrial Visit tours) has helped me to understand Industry well, along
with the platform to interact with renowned personalities. Extended 5 month internship program gave me a
chance to evaluate myself before entering into the corporate world. Course curriculum, subject offered along
with practical knowledge makes this course simply great. Also, choosing the Shirpur campus and hostel life
has added a taste of fun, joy, sentiments and the real flavor of hostel life. The best part here was the fully
facilitated campus, Well-equipped labs, Techno-upgraded hostel, infrastructure and other amenities, which
are simply incomparable. Above that, Faculty in Shirpur campus is well supportive who not only give
technical knowledge but also, provide practical expertise as well.Now, looking back, I feel highly privileged to
be a part of this Institute and thankful to the faculty for shaping up our future by providing lot more than we
expected. I can easily recommend this name to any of my relatives or friends without a second thought.
