Summary

'Strange Materials' explores the fascinating world of unconventional materials that are revolutionizing science and technology. From metamaterials that bend light in seemingly impossible ways to programmable matter that changes properties on demand, this comprehensive guide examines how these extraordinary substances are reshaping our understanding of what matter can do.

 
The book skillfully bridges theoretical physics with practical applications, making complex concepts accessible through real-world examples and clear explanations. The journey begins with foundational material science principles before diving into three main categories of strange materials: metamaterials, programmable matter, and materials with contradictory properties.

 
Through detailed case studies and researcher interviews, readers discover how materials can become stronger when stretched or manipulate quantum effects for practical purposes. The book's interdisciplinary approach weaves together insights from quantum physics, engineering, and biological systems, demonstrating how nature's innovations inspire synthetic material development.

 
The narrative progresses from historical context, starting with the discovery of plastics, through to cutting-edge applications in energy, medicine, and computing. While technical concepts are thoroughly explained, the focus remains on practical applications and near-future possibilities, making it valuable for both professionals and educated enthusiasts. The inclusion of laboratory data and industry applications grounds theoretical concepts in reality, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of how these strange materials are driving technological innovation.

    'When I left Jabalpur, the small town where I grew up, to pursue a career, I could not have dreamt that I would find myself at the vanguard of pathbreaking revolutions that would transform India.' 
     
    Entrepreneur, sportsman, salesman, engineer, educationist, jazz aficionado and investor-meet Ajai Chowdhry, the HCL cofounder who dons many hats, all with equal ease. Growing up in the sleepy town of Jabalpur in a family that had migrated from Abbottabad post India's Independence, Ajai's life was set for a linear trajectory-engineering, a well-paying job and a comfortable life-but for the year 1975. 
    This was the year when Ajai quit his job at DCM Data Products and jumped into the uncharted waters of entrepreneurship, founding HCL with Shiv Nadar, Arjun Malhotra, Yogesh Vaidya, Subhash Arora and D.S. Puri. In the 1970s, leaving a stable job with one of India's leading brands was nothing short of crazy. To add to that, not many Indians knew what a computer was. The word 'start-up' was decades away from its use in common parlance. 
    Over the next four decades, HCL would go on to become one of the largest IT companies in India and a household brand. In Just Aspire, Ajai not only shares the story of a successful business behemoth but also of dreams, aspirations, hope and achievements from the eyes of a small-town boy. Along this journey, he shares timeless lessons on entrepreneurship, technology and the future. For all dreamers and doers, this book is a treasure trove of inspiration.
