  • Departmental Brochure
    “We explore the Universe, literally, from the smallest to the largest scales, not just in terms of length but also in energy and time. We spy on exotic particles whizzing inside colliders. We study how a collection of particles behave at low temperatures, normal temperatures, high magnetic fields and other extremes of nature. We venture into the basis of life and evolution, order and chaos. We care about the Sun's magnetic fields and worry about the weather in space. We flirt with black holes and swim in space-time ripples. Yes, we are physicists. Come join us, there is a Universe to fathom...” Physicists at IISER Kolkata have published in leading international journals such as Nature, Science and Physical Review Letters and they have produced students who are now at the leading institutions of the world such as Cambridge, Cornell, IISc, JNCASR, Maryland, Oxford and Rutgers. They have won awards for their work, both within and outside the country, and their research and interviews have been highlighted in forums as diverse as the Times of India to the New York Times Dot Earth Blogs.
