Bose was born in 1858 in what is now Bangladesh. At the time in history, the country was part of the British Empire. Although born into a prominent family with some means, Bose’s parents took the unusual step of sending their son to a “vernacular” school—a school taught in Bangla, which he studied side-by-side with children from other economic situ...
After this illustrious education, Bose returned home, securing a position as an Assistant Professor of Physics at Presidency College in Calcutta in 1885 (a post he held until 1915). Under the rule of the British, however, even institutions in India itself were terribly racist in their policies, as Bose was shocked to discover. Not only was he not g...
During Bose’s time at Presidency College his fame as a scientist grew steadily as he worked on his research in two important areas: Botany and Physics. Bose’s lectures and presentations caused a great amount of excitement and occasional furor, and his inventions and conclusions derived from his research helped shape the modern world we know and ben...
In the later 19th century when Bose took up his research, scientists believed that plants relied on chemical reactions to transmit stimuli—for example, damage from predators or other negative experiences. Bose proved via experimentation and observation that plant cells actually used electrical impulses just like animals when reacting to stimuli. Bo...
Bose has often been called the “Father of WiFi” due to his work with shortwave radio signals and semiconductors. Bose was the first scientist to understand the benefits of short-waves in radio signals; shortwave radio can very easily reach vast distances, while longer-wave radio signals require line-of-sight and cannot travel as far. One problem wi...
Bose passed away on November 23, 1937, in Giridih, India. He was 78 years old. He had been knighted in 1917, and elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1920. Today there is an impact crater on the Moon named after him. He is regarded today as a foundational forcein both electromagnetism and biophysics. In addition to his scientific publication...
