CUSB & Japan atomic energy lab sign pact

PATNA: In a significant development, the Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) has entered into an agreement with the Atomic Energy National Laboratory of Japan for undertaking fundamental research on problems of material science.
According to the agreement, the research team of CUSB, led by physics department’s faculty Vijay Raj Singh, would be a member of the global science project on ‘utilization of scientific knowledge by synchrotron radiation of data storage materials’.
This megascience global research project would be operated by Japan’s KEK-PF National Laboratory and is located at Oho near Tsukusa. More than 3,000 scientists from 150 institutions around the world are associated with this project and the CUSB team is the only team from the state to be selected for this project, said CUSB PRO Md Mudassir Alam.
Giving details of the proposed research, CUSB team leader Singh said the work will give a better understanding of the fundamental factors affecting solid state physics, material science and spintronics devices. The study would also reveal the secrets of material science which would prove much useful for dense data storage devices, he said.
CUSB vice-chancellor K N Singh congratulated the faculty members for becoming a partner of the global research team and said it would motivate other departments of the university to work hard for establishing the CUSB’s identity on the global level.
