EditorialMother nature is our most reliable educator. It labels with gifts through messages expressedin the language and signs of change return on the bunch of seasons which is a cue for us tocelebrate. Spring educates us in hues of sprightly and renewed colors that novelty andinnovation are the spirits of progress, fall in its august sagacity has a lesson in the yellowleaves and dried weather, means to cherish the richness of life and to treasure the timewithstanding virtues that civilizations have passed onto us as our heritage.

Similarly Fall for BUITEMS is a celebrated season. With fall, arrives a spring of fresh sproutingundergraduate students, all looking for means to learn new knowledge, to shape their future.The season ends with a festive celebration of the end of a chapter in the University’s life cycleThe Convocation. Students of BUITEMS, join the University with the inclination to gain relevantand rewarding knowledge and prowess and pass out on the completion of their cherisheddrive with the confidence and competence to satisfy their social and professional obligations.We try our level best to meet this goal through all possible means.

In the vein of providing all possible means to enhance the professional and academicexperience of the students, this fall BUITEMS arranged a number of activities from technicalworkshops and seminars, to sports Olympiads and poetry recitation competitions. Like allspecies upon earth which express by humans to exhibit this propriety in a commendable wayand this wisdom also comes organically to us through nature. In order to help celebrate thisability and count expression as a blessing, we make efforts to create a culture conducive todialogue. One such effort was to bring the celebrated author Musharraf Ali Farooqi toBUITEMS where he shared his journey as a writer. It was human element of struggle andconviction of a writer in spoken words that we generally fail to see in the written works. It isheartening to acknowledge that an institute of higher learning can make such a profoundexperience possible for students. The impact of these small occasions leave a long-lastingmark. Who knows, the next great author in the audience might have been inspired by thisshort episode in his academic career.

The journey has just begun. The weight of pushing our boundaries and initiating dialoguesthat can help build visionary leadership for the future is always heavy upon those, who canmake a difference. BUITEMS Family is utilizing every ounce of the available potential toachieve this end. May the odds be in our favor. (Ameen)

NANOSMAT is an established name in Nanoscience and Nanotechnologyconferences. NANOSMAT conferences provide a unique platform fordiscussing key aspects of materials-related Nanoscience andNanotechnology. Their conference series fosters talented people toexchange ideas, share new knowledge and technical know-how in thebroad NANO fields. The first ever African Chapter of the established"International Conference on Surfaces, Coatings and NanostructuredMaterials" was held in Cape-Town, South Africa during November19-23, 2018. The main organizers of the conference were Prof. MaazaMalik, Director, iThemba LABS, Somerset West, Cape-Town South Africa.A number of Nobel Laureates have given plenary and keynote lectures atNANOSMAT conferences, including Professor H. W. Kroto (USA),Professor Jean Marie-Lehn (France), Prof. Peter Grunberg (Germany),Professor Albert Fert (France) and Professor Andrei Geim (UK).Dr. Hamdullah Khan Tareen participated in the conference andpresented his paper on "Gamma irradiation-induced phase transitionsof boron nitride nanoparticles". Recently different methods are exploredto synthesize superhard orthorhombic boron nitride (o-BN) nanomaterialswhich have a wide range of industrial applications. In this research work,a simple method was reported to synthesis o-BN nanoparticles (o-BNNPs)via gamma irradiation induced phase transition of hexagonal boron nitridenanoparticles (h-BNNPs). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Raman Spectroscopy result confirmed thephase transition of h-BNNPs to o-BNNPs at the dose of 21 kGy. At the dose of 24 kGy, HRTEMwere used as diagnostic tools which showed that phase of h-BNNPs are transformed to B2O3

whereas, at a lower dose (18 kGy), coalescence of h-BNNPs is observed through HRTEM results.XRD results showed that the grain size of h-BNNPs is increased. Mechanism of phase transitionand coalescence of h-BNNPs are explained via high energy and short wavelength gammaradiations act on B-N covalent bond isotopically.The research collaboration was extended between Plasma physics Material laboratory, BUITEMSand iThemba LABS, Somerset West, Cape-Town South Africa. One of the sessions at theconference was also chaired by Dr. Hamdullah Khan Tareen. The visit was sponsored by HECthrough Travel Grant.
