Huge news for ICTS & Indian science!
Congrats to Prof. Deepak Dhar on receiving the 2026 ICTP Dirac Medal, alongside B. Derrida, M. Mézard & H. Sompolinsky, for pioneering contributions to statistical mechanics & its extensions to AI, neuroscience & non-equilibrium systems!
On March 14, 2005, I arrived in the US for the first time. Today, 20 years ago, I started my project as an exchange student in Wolfgang Ketterle's and Dave Pritchard's lab at MIT. These are unforgettable days for me - the start of my journey in ultracold quantum science! I am very grateful for all the friendships, mentorship, all the challenges, opportunities, joy and excitement over all these years. And today things are more exciting than ever! Thank you to everyone who helped making this journey as amazing as it is!!
Prof. Nirmalya Ghosh has been elected as a Fellow of OPTICA (@OpticaWorldwide ) 2025 for his exceptional scientific contributions to optical polarization and related phenomena and development of novel experimental polarimetry systems for diverse applications.

Pained by the passing away of Rohini Godbole Ji. She was a pioneering scientist and innovator, who also was a strong votary of more women in the world of science. Her academic efforts will continue to guide the coming generations. Condolences to her family and admirers. Om Shanti.
With great sadness, we mourn the passing of Prof Rohini Godbole. An exceptional scientist, mentor and leader, she won many accolades for her research and championed the cause of women in science.
Her vibrant presence will be greatly missed.

🚨 Big news on arXiv! 🚨 Over 30 female Quantum Professors have united to release a powerful Manifesto of Values. They reflect on gender issues in quantum physics and call for change with a clear set of values. Let's support and amplify their voices! #WomenInSTEM#QuantumPhysics
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the famous paper by S.N. Bose (pronounced natively as "Bosh") that was kindly translated by Einstein for the submission.
He laid the groundwork for quantum statistical mechanics in just four pages.
In the world's largest vacuum chamber, a bowling ball and feathers are used for a real-life demonstration of a concept Galileo first proposed over 400 years ago.
