Akshayananda Bose was born on on June 14, 1911 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Akshayananda Bose obtained his Doctor of Science (1945) from the University of Dacca (Dhaka, Bangladesh). His specialization was in Solid-State Physics and Cryogenics.
Akshayananda Bose was Professor of Physics (1956-1975), and Emeritus Professor, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science; Founder President (1975), Director General (1978), Indian Cryogenics Council (ICC) and Director, Advanced Centre of Cryogenic Research, Calcutta.
Akshayananda Bose did intensive research in low temperature and solid-state physics as early as 1935. He worked on crystal magnetism, crystal spectra, paramagnetic resonance, semiconduction and X-ray structure.
Akshayananda Bose developed new magnetic balances, automatic cryostats, accessories, the first miniature H2 liquefier in India and the first design and model of turbine expansion air liquefier. He established the effect of long-range crystal field in magnetic crystals, and magnetic transition owing to coexisting crystal phases; and also developed cryothermometers, all-metal cryogen container, programmed thermo-cryostat, LN2 food freezer, storage and transport cabinet, cryogenic thermal insulator and several other equipment.
