	Raman Research Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Raman Research Institute was founded by Nobel laureate Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman in 1948 with funds from private sources.
		The main activity of the institute was basic research into selected areas of physics which were of particular interest to Professor Raman.
		Currently, the main areas of research are astronomy and astrophysics, liquid crystals, theoretical physics, and optics.

		The Raman effect is, in essence, the shift in wavelength as light is scattered due to an inelastic collision with the scattering medium.
		Raman made his discovery using a telescope, which he used to focus the sun to a small point, and a set of complementary filters (used in order to obtain a monochromatic source).
		Raman spectroscopy is used for qualitative and quantitative measurements of inorganic and organic molecules and is used in such diverse applications as determining chemical structure and remotely detecting atmospheric contaminants.

		The decision to build a research institution on this land was subsequently taken when there was a danger of this piece of land being retrieved by the Government of Mysore as the academy failed to utilise it till the end of 1941.
		Raman who raised the funds for the institute, was clear that it should have a distinct identity from the academy.
		Raman, who was fascinated by the colours of the biological kingdom, also had a veritable collection of stuffed birds, beetles, and butterflies in his musuem.

		Raman had meanwhile returned, holding the scroll, and stood beside a flboard on which was scribbled in chalk the diagram of a galaxy and other mathematical calculations.
		Raman had the knack of explaining the most abstruse scientific phenomena in a language that ordinary people could understand.
		After receiving the Nobel Prize, Raman is reported to have visited his native village where his aunt asked him: "What is all this commotion about the big prize you have received?" He explained to her, in his characteristic lucid style, his discovery.

	Nanotube flow sensors generate a voltage (January 2003) - News - nanotechweb.org
		Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science and India's Raman Research Institute have generated a voltage by flowing liquid down bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
		The technique could be useful in flow sensors for small volumes of liquid, or as a voltage source in biomedical applications.
		The researchers packed bundles of nanotubes with an average tube diameter of 1.5 nm in between two metal electrodes, producing a sensor 1 mm long, 0.2 mm thick and 2 mm wide.

		But the researchers believe that the device can be scaled down to much smaller sizes, which would enable it to be used in very small liquid volumes such as in body tissues.
		The discovery by the Bangalore scientists of an electrical response of nanotubes to fluid flow is, in a sense, the converse of what Baughman and his team observed.
		The Department of Science and Technology too has recognised the importance of the finding and, on behalf of the researchers, has applied for an Indian and U.S. patent for the use of device as a flow sensor, as an energy conversion device and as a biomedical device for blood flow measurements.
