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.

The group experimentally and theoretically demonstrated the tunable beam shift by varying the polarization angle of the incident light and, showing that enhanced shift is possible for a certain range of polarization angles. This study reveals the promising applications of beam shift in polarization-controlled optical devices such as beam steering, switches, beam splitters, and sensors.Heartiest congratulations to Prof. Pradhan and his team for being featured in the “Spotlight!”.

In a step forward to unify the classical theory of gravitation and quantum mechanics researchers, through their calculations have obtained an uncertainty relation induced from the noise of gravitons—the hypothetical quantum of gravity, an elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitational interaction.
A unique transistor developed using single molecules, controlled by mechanical forces could pave the way for advancements in areas like quantum information processing, ultra-compact electronics and sensing applications.
In a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, Dr. Manik Banik from the SNBNCBS, Kolkata, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology, along with collaborators from the ISI Kolkata, A B N Seal College Cooch Behar and the University of Hong Kong, demonstrated that a universal standard for measuring quantum nonlocality is impossible.
Researchers have explored a new frontier in computer aided drug discovery that can help develop medicines that can prevent harmful protein-protein interactions which can lead to conditions like elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or chelesterol level.
