Exploring the intersection of materials, chemistry, and design.
For centuries, practitioners of the Vakya system have relied on these fixed mathematical rules, primarily found in authoritative texts like the Vakyakarana . The Components of a Vakya Horoscope
Here's an example:
Let us examine a hypothetical birth:
The word Vakya means "sentence" or "aphorism." These are short, memorizable rules (often in verse form) that allow one to compute planetary positions without modern telescopes or complex instruments. This system was perfected by ancient Tamil sages like Kannada and others.
A Vakya Panchangam based horoscope is a traditional, verse‑driven, table‑based system with unique planetary positions and a distinct ayanamsa, still used in parts of South India but less accurate for detailed modern predictions compared to Drik or Lahiri based systems.
No upcoming events scheduled.

We are proud that the Smart Materials Lab is the leading team in impactful chemistry research in the United Arab Emirates, with research output that, according to the Nature Index, accounts for 40‒60% of the total chemistry publications within the country, both in fractional count and weighed fractional count. The past and current research projects in the Smart Materials Lab have been sponsored by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), Human Science Frontier Program Organization (HFSPO), and the UAE National Research Foundation (NRF), in addition to generous financial support from NYUAD and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute. The members of the Smart Materials Lab work closely with NYUAD's Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM).
