CeNSE, IISc Partners with RIASAT and Vyuha in ₹67 Crore Initiative to Advance India’s Semiconductor Ecosystem

CeNSE has entered into an MoU with RIASAT and Vyuha at Semicon India 2026 as part of a ₹67 crore initiative to strengthen India’s semiconductor and emerging-technology ecosystem.

The collaboration brings together three complementary capabilities:
CeNSE- advanced research, nanoelectronics, semiconductor devices and fabrication, and emerging quantum technologies.
Vyuha- industrial testing, metrology, engineering support, validation, and technology translation.
RIASAT- industry-oriented technical training, skilling, and certification to build a job-ready workforce.

Together, the partnership will create an integrated framework spanning the technology-development lifecycle- from research and engineering to testing, validation, technology translation, and workforce development.

As part of the initiative, RIASAT will establish and maintain a dedicated centre equipped to support these activities, with investment requirements reviewed annually by IISc and RIASAT.

By connecting deep research, industrial validation, technology translation and skilled talent, the partnership seeks to build a more connected ecosystem for transforming scientific advances into validated technologies and real-world applications.

Patent Granted | CeNSE Develops Angled Nanopore Technology for Controlled Biomolecule Translocation

We are pleased to share the grant of the patent titled “A System Comprising Angled Nanopores for Controlled Translocation of Biomolecules and Methods Thereof.” The work focuses on the design and engineering of nanopores to control the translocation of biomolecules.

Congratulations to Prof. Manoj Varma and Simran Nasa on this significant achievement!

Team MemBrain Wins First Prize at IISc Industry Institute Conclave 2026 for PFAS-Free Membrane Innovation

Team MemBrain on won First Prize at the Innovation Pathfinders League (IPL) Finals, held as part of the IISc Industry Institute Conclave 2026.

The Innovation: PFAS-Free Hydrocarbon-based Ion Exchange Membranes for Electrochemical Energy Systems

Led by Dr. Bharath Govind G. S. (Postdoc), with Dr. Aditya Sadhanala as Faculty Mentor, the team includes Deepika J. (PhD Student) and Devika Santhosh (Project Associate).

The team is developing PFAS-free alternative membranes for electrochemical energy systems, including fuel cells, electrolysers, and batteries. With potential applications extending to water purification, diagnostics, and healthcare, the innovation addresses an important need for safer and more sustainable membrane technologies.
