🇮🇳 Indian Physicist Wins Major International Honour In Theoretical Physics
Prof Deepak Dhar has been awarded the 2026 Dirac Medal, one of the most prestigious honours in theoretical physics, by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP).
Dhar was recognised for pioneering work in statistical mechanics, particularly his exact solution of the Abelian sandpile model - showing how simple interactions in a complex system can produce sudden, unpredictable events. The idea has applications ranging from earthquakes and traffic jams to financial markets.
The 2026 medal is shared by four physicists for contributions extending statistical mechanics into areas including non-equilibrium physics, optimisation, theoretical neuroscience and AI.
@ACTFibernet , my request to shift the connection was closed without shifting it. I am commuting between the house I used to stay earlier and the house I’m staying currently. My 3 requests pending and customer care assures someone will call me. When will my requests be addressed
Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material shoot off the Sun into space. The magnetosphere shields Earth, but the solar wind can get in near the poles and disrupt satellite, radio & GPS signals. 3 new missions aim to improve this technology problem: https://t.co/EER7pSZWZM
When 2 wave systems traveling at oblique angles coincide it creates a dangerous pattern known by cross sea. The interaction of these waves is modeled by the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation.

(1/2) Guess what! Shoppers at Next Galleria Mall, Punjagutta, had the chance to take pictures with @iamnagarjuna in a tech-savvy Big Boss house installation at the mall.
Everyone was thrilled and ecstatic by the experience.
It is really amazing to know the plans of hyd metro to facilitate commuters reach their destinations after alighting at metro stations. Waiting eagerly for the completion of blue line upto mind space
@ltmhyd I’ve no words to describe my journey today with three fellow commuters who probably work for HMRL and were eager to take note of what can be improved to make many opt for metro
Department of Mathematics under the School of Advanced Sciences (SAS), VIT, Vellore organized the VIT Mathematical Meet – 2019 (A Mega Mathematical contest for School Students) today. Around 2300 students registered and participated in the event.
