S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences

The S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences is an autonomous research institute engaged in research in basic sciences. The institute was founded under Department of Science and Technology, Government of India in 1986 as a Registered Society. The Centre was established to honour the life and work of Professor S. N. Bose who was a colossal in theoretical physics and has made some of the most fundamental conceptual contributions in the development of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Statistics. The Centre has emerged as a major institution for research and development in Basic Sciences.

A tug of war in gold nanoscale assembly can help produce better biosensors
A tug of war in gold nanoscale assembly can help produce better biosensors

Scientists have uncovered how gold nanoparticles—the tiny particles that give rise to powerful optical technologies—change their behaviour when exposed to certain every day molecules like Amino Acids & Salts, paving the way towards smarter biosensors, better diagnostic tools, and even more reliable drug delivery systems.

Unsung helper that protects cells from mechanical stress holds the therapeutic promise
Unsung helper that protects cells from mechanical stress holds the therapeutic promise

A hidden protein that protects our cells from mechanical stress could provide a new direction to therapeutic strategies for diseases where protein stability under force is compromised like heart muscle disease or genetic disorders called laminopathies.

Giant antibody in humans acts like a brace against bacterial toxins
Giant antibody in humans acts like a brace against bacterial toxins

A new property of the largest antibody so far identified in our body, changes our existing understanding of antibodies from chemical keys that fit into microbial locks to mechanical engineers, altering the physical properties of molecules to protect us This could inspire new therapies by designing antibodies that mechanically stiffen dangerous proteins and disarming them.

Photocatalytic leap toward green synthesis of hydrogen peroxide disinfectant
Photocatalytic leap toward green synthesis of hydrogen peroxide disinfectant

Sunlight and water could now be turned into a powerful disinfectant - Hydrogen peroxide (H?O?) - using a photocatalyst. The new method of synthesis of this chemical, with uses ranging from cleaning wounds, purifying water, powering fuel cells and driving industrial chemistry, could open up new avenues for green chemistry.
