“A voyage to Europe in the summer of 1921 gave me the first opportunity of observing the wonderful blue opalescence of the Mediterranean Sea. It seemed not unlikely that the phenomenon owed its origin to the scattering of sunlight by the molecules of the water. To test this explanation, it appeared desirable to ascertain the laws governing the diffusion of light in liquids, and experiments with this object were started immediately on my return to Calcutta in September, 1921. It soon became evident, however, that the subject possessed a significance extending far beyond the special purpose for which the work was undertaken, and that it offered unlimited scope for research. It seemed indeed that the study of light-scattering might carry one into the deepest problems of physics and chemistry, and it was this belief which led to the subject becoming the main theme of our activities at Calcutta from that time onwards.”

The renowned physicist Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman founded the Indian Journal of Physics, sponsored the establishment of the Indian Academy of Sciences and was awarded the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for "for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him." In his Nobel Prize lecture he gave an insight into how his research began.

member Aadeel Akhtar's chance encounter with a 7-year-old girl missing a limb inspired him to develop an affordable prosthetic one day. Two decades later, Akhtar's "Ability Hand" is now the fastest bionic hand on the market - and the only one with touch feedback. The prosthetic hand uses pressure sensors to mimic the sensation of touch through vibrations and offers 32 different grips.

When today's date (11/23) is put into the American mm/dd format, the digits form a sequence (1, 1, 2 and 3). That's why today we celebrate ! Every November 23, we recognize Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Fibonacci. Also known as Leonardo Bonacci, he invented a pattern of counting that continues to influence math and technology today. We observe Fibonacci numbers because many objects in nature, such as galaxies, snail shells and plants form perfect spirals based on Fibonacci numbers. Some ways to celebrate are to take a Fibonacci-inspired nature walk or seek out the Fibonacci sequence in famous works of art. What things do you find most interesting?

Many scientists and engineers enter into fields because the natural world inspires them. How has nature influenced you and your work?
