    Viral robodog video shows why Indian universities need less spin, more substance
    (The Times of India, 2026-02-23) Rao, V. Ramgopal
    The recent episode involving a private university at the AI Impact Summit has been painful to watch. First, a word for the students and faculty. There are good students and committed teachers in every institution. When something goes viral for the wrong reasons, it is not only the management that feels the heat. It is the final year student sitting for placements. It is the young assistant professor building a research profile. Social media can be brutal. The debate quickly escalates into questions of national prestige. That part is deeply unfortunate. Now to the uncomfortable questions. What is fundamentally wrong in such incidents is not one exhibition or one poorly handled explanation. It is a culture where optics begin to dominate substance. A serious academic institution does not send a marketing executive to explain a technical prototype. The person standing next to a demo must be someone who designed it, built it, coded it or experimentally validated it. The moment scripted marketing language replaces technical depth, credibility collapses. In today’s world, every audience member can fact-check in real time. Second, excessive freedom to marketing teams in academic matters is risky. Universities are not branding agencies. Communication must be academically vetted. Leadership must take responsibility. Public claims are not just about visibility. They reflect the intellectual integrity of the institution.

    Making chips intelligent
    (Financial Express, 2025-12-15) Rao, V. Ramgopal
    A 3-nanometre transistor is no longer science fiction; it is inside the phone in your pocket. Yet classical silicon is gasping. The next leap will come from nanoelectronics: new materials, new device physics, and integration at atomic precision. This includes today’s scaled CMOS, powering everything from AI chips to edge devices. This is not just about making chips smaller. It is about making them smarter, cheaper, and greener.

    Shrinking devices, expanding possibilities
    (Financial Express, 2025-12-13) Rao, V. Ramgopal
    A 3-nanometre transistor is no longer science fiction; it is inside the phone in your pocket. Yet classical silicon is gasping. The next leap will come from nanoelectronics: new materials, new device physics, and integration at atomic precision. This includes today’s scaled CMOS, powering everything from AI chips to edge devices. This is not just about making chips smaller. It is about making them smarter, cheaper, and greener. The global nanoelectronics market, encompassing scaled CMOS semiconductors, sensors, and IoT edge devices, is heading toward $1 trillion by 2030. Nanosensors already detect a single virus particle. Ultra-low-power chips enable IoT networks that run for ten years on a coin cell. Flexible electronics printed on plastic will turn any surface into a display or a health monitor. From electric-vehicle powertrains to satellite constellations, every high-growth sector rides this wave.
