Gold Nanoparticle Size, Biodistribution, and Toxicity: Insights from DualEnergy CT
Abstract: Dual-energy and spectral computed tomography (CT) have emerged as powerful platforms for noninvasive, quantitative mapping of nanoparticle biodistribution in vivo. By exploiting the energy-dependent attenuation profiles of high-atomic-number (high-Z) materials, these systems enable material decomposition and element-specific imaging, thereby distinguishing nanoparticle signals from those of soft tissues and conventional iodinated contrast agents. Photon-counting spectral CT further enhances this capability by binning individual photons into multiple energy channels, improving spatial resolution, …

Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands in India: A Review Across Nine Urban Agglomerations
Abstract: Since 1901, anthropogenic climate change has raised India's mean surface temperatures by about 0.9°C, compounding warming. Rapid urbanization creates persistent Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), making cities dangerously hotter than rural areas. A combination of these forces presents acute thermal hazards to hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. The paper discusses the emergence and intensification of UHI in nine large Indian cities (Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and …

Blockchain for Secure Health Records in India: Aligning with Ayushman Bharat
Abstract: India’s healthcare ecosystem continues to face significant hurdles, particularly in the efficient management, protection, and accessibility of patient health records. For decades, medical data in the country has remained scattered across institutions, recorded in incompatible formats, and stored in systems that rarely communicate with each other. These gaps not only slow down clinical decision-making but also increase exposure to data breaches and other cybersecurity risks. In this context, blockchain technology …
