Satyendranath Bose (1894-1974) was a major figure in the development of quantum statistics and theoretical physics. Albert Einstein built upon his ideas to develop a system of quantum mechanics that became known as Bose-Einstein statistics. Bosons,...

Satyendranath Bose was a physicist whose derivation of Max Planck' s black body radiation law--a fundamental law of quantum theory that is concerned with the concept of energy transfer associated with light, x rays, and other radiations--verified...

A third group has now succeeded in creating a Bose-Einstein condensate out of a cloud of ultracold atoms. Instead of clumping together while maintaining separate quantum states, as in normal condensation, these atoms end up in a single quantum state and so act...
