Physicists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have discovered that pure mathematical formulae developed by Srinivasa Ramanujan over a century ago for calculating the value of pi are fundamentally connected to modern high-energy physics.

Researchers from IISST used simple polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to partially correct a turbulent laser beam and restore its statistical order.

Modern science reveals that matter is made of atoms and molecules. Molecules in liquids and gases move randomly; there is an average distance between two nearest molecules. This distance is used to model the properties of the gas. However, there are certain problems, like  turbulence, that cannot be solved using just the distance, which is a single scale. We need to consider all scales from large to small. Such systems are called multiscale systems.
