Pulitzer-winning writer featuring our flagellar motor work and animation on @QuantaMagazine cover reminds me why open access and outreach matter in science. When we share our work, research reaches millions. Article: quantamagazine.org/what-physical-… Paper: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️

His name was Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. In 1930, he was 19 years old. A boy from Madras is boarding a ship to England on a scholarship to Cambridge. During that sea voyage, he opened his notebook and started calculating. By the time the ship docked in Southampton, he had worked out something no one in the history of science had understood before. Stars do not simply fade and die. Stars above a certain mass collapse into themselves with such force that nothing can stop them. Not light. Not time. Not physics as anyone understood it. What he had discovered on that ship would eventually be called black holes. He arrived at Cambridge. He spent four years refining his calculations. He showed them to Arthur Eddington. The most famous astronomer in the world at that time. The man who had proven Einstein right. Eddington watched his progress. Encouraged him. Asked him to present his findings at the Royal Astronomical Society in January 1935. Then Eddington gave his own presentation immediately after. He publicly ridiculed Chandrasekhar in front of the entire scientific establishment. He said the theory had no physical meaning. He called it absurd. He used his enormous reputation to crush a 24-year-old Indian student in front of everyone who mattered. Chandrasekhar left that conference devastated. He appealed to the president of the International Astronomical Union. He was told not to respond to Eddington publicly. He left England. He went to America. To the University of Chicago. He drove 150 miles every week to teach a class of just two students. Those two students were Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang. Both of them won the Nobel Prize before he did. He spent 50 years working quietly. He never stopped. In 1983, the Nobel Committee called. 53 years after he worked out the existence of black holes on a ship as a teenager, the Nobel Prize in Physics was his. NASA later named its most powerful X-ray telescope after him. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The universe he described is real. Eddington was wrong. The boy on the boat was right. Most Indians have never heard his name. They should say it every day. Follow for real stories about Indians who changed the world.

Meet Narendra Karmarkar ! (Legendary Mathematician from India) The mind behind one of the most important breakthroughs in Mathematics > Born & brought up in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh > Graduated from IIT Bombay with President’s Gold Medal (1978) > Did Master’s from California Institute of Technology > Pursued his PhD at University of California, Berkeley under Richard M. Karp > Became a postdoctoral research fellow at IBM Research > Worked at AT&T Bell Laboratories, one of the world’s leading research labs > Served as Professor at MIT and Princeton University > Developed the revolutionary Karmarkar’s Algorithm for linear programming > Awarded the Fulkerson Prize and Paris Kanellakis Award for his work > Returned to India & Became Homi Bhabha Chair Professor at TIFR > Served as scientific advisor to Ratan Tata and the Tata Group > Where he Led the scaling of an advanced supercomputer at TIFR & outperformed leading global systems at the time Today, his algorithm powers systems in logistics, finance, telecommunications & large-scale planning. A rare genius whose work quietly runs the modern world. Not widely known to the public. But deeply respected in the world of mathematics.

About 100 years ago, a man with no formal training in mathematics wrote equations that would later connect to the theory of black holes—at a time when the very concept of black holes did not even exist in the scientific community. That man was Srinivasa Ramanujan.

First Meeting of BRIC-Research Advisory Board (BRIC-RAB) The Biotechnology Research and Innovation Council (BRIC) is an Apex Autonomous Body established as a registered Society, formed by subsuming 14 Autonomous Institutes of the Department of Biotechnology (DBT). To ensure effective oversight of BRIC's research initiatives, a Research Advisory Board (RAB) has been constituted under the Chairpersonship of Prof. K. VijayRaghavan, DAE Homi Bhabha Professor, former Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, and former Secretary, DBT. BRIC-RAB is responsible for guiding, reviewing, and monitoring the research activities conducted by BRIC Institutes (iBRIC) and fostering deliberations for developing new missions and targeted programs. The inaugural meeting of the BRIC-Research Advisory Board (BRIC-RAB) was held on 27th-28th March 2026 at the Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB), Faridabad. The two-day event featured a dynamic gathering deliberating on bold and ambitious national initiatives, prioritizing shared infrastructure while envisioning governance reforms designed to guide BRIC's transformation into a cohesive, decentralized national biotechnology laboratory.
