Events at Guwahati Planetarium & Guwahati Science City as a part of the #ASI2026 at @IITGuwahati of the ASI .... all are welcome! @IIABengaluru @TIFRScience @NCRA_Outreach

NCBS hosted Facilities Day & STAT26, bringing together researchers, research facility professionals, and technology experts for two days of exchange around scientific services and research support systems @TIFRScience @TIFRH_buzz

What begins as curiosity-driven research can often reshape the world in ways we least expect. Join us for an evening of conversation and insight with some of the world's leading minds in quantum science. Nobel Laureate Klaus von Klitzing will be joined by distinguished panellists Bertrand Halperin, Allan MacDonald, and Sankar Das Sarma, with the discussion moderated by Jainendra Jain, Founding Director of Lodha Theoretical Physics Institute and recipient of the Wolf Prize 2026. Presented by @Lodha Foundation in collaboration with @TIFRScience, this public lecture explores how quantum research continues to influence technology, healthcare, energy, and our understanding of the universe itself. The lecture is open to all. No prior background in quantum physics required. Register: tifr.link/zlth0r #ScienceForAll #QuantumScience #QuantumResearch #PublicLectureSeries #TIFR #LTPI

Bacteria have amazing respiratory flexibility to tailor their antibiotic tolerance, but its activation is constrained. @stutiisrivastav and @KarvannanL from @TIFR_Bio @TIFRScience produce an intersting interplay between ETS and aminoglycoside tolerance: biorxiv.org/content/10.648….

This is one of the best opportunities for bright students who want to integrate ideas, explanations and their testing in addressing the most formidable questions in modern biology. You will have, at your disposal, the best theoretical and experimental minds, and resources. You’ll do as well as the best anywhere. Apply. @Vijay_K_Murthy @NCBS_Bangalore @ictstifr @TIFRScience

Wonderful work from @QCLlab in collaboration with Amartya Bose from @TIFRScience which provides a new framework for SInglet Fission which goes beyond the "dimer" model. Congratulations to the team👏🎉 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Prof. Yashwant Gupta, Center Director of NCRA, has been awarded the prestigious biennial M. P. Birla Memorial Award for his contributions to astronomy & astrophysics! The ceremony was held on 13 March 2026 at M.P. Birla Planetarium, where he also delivered the award lecture.

Have you ever wondered if your phone can also function as a Science Lab? This Sunday (May 3), at 11 am, join Chai and Why at Prithvi Cafe, Juhu for fun, hands-on summer-special session to experience this in action. Fun for curious minds of all ages!
