Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Agrees the Basic Assumption in 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry is Incorrect and there was Plagiarism in the 2014 Nobel Prize, but has not yet taken any action to make the requisite Corrections and provide Due Credit to Professor Mrinal Thakur

RAJKUMAR DAS, Kolkata, August 3, 2023: In a statement here, Professor Mrinal Thakur said, while The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is in agreement that the basic scientific mption in the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry is incorrect and plagiarism was critical issue in the case of 2014 Nobel Prize, the Academy has not taken any initiative to make requisite corrections and provide due credit to him

Currently working as the Director of Photonic Materials Research Laboratory at Auburn University (USA), Professor Thakur was nominated for the Chemistry Nobel Prize by the scientific academia for 22 times. Thakur Equation has been acclaimed globally as based on his scientific theory on nonlinear optics providing quantitative measure of super-resolution depending on laser pulse intensity

As it appears at the website of The Nobel Foundation, "key property of a conductive polymer is the presence of conjugated double bonds along the backbone of the polymer. In conjugation, the bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double." Also, "For a polymer to be able to conduct electric current it must consist alternately of single and double bonds between carbon atoms" These fundamental statements are nonfactual incorrect since these disregard existence of "Nonconjugated Conductive Polymers and their impacts .

The RSAS gave the Chemistry Nobel Prize to Heeger, MacDiarmid and Shirakawa for the discovery of "Conductive Polymers while they discovered only the "Conjugated" conductive polymers. But the discovery of "Nonconjugated" Conductive Polymers by Professur Thakur was ignored If Heeger, MacDiarmid and Shirakawa received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of "Conjugated conductive polymer, why Professor Thakur not being recognized for his discovery of the "Nonconjugated" Conductive Polymers? He demands immediate recognition of the "Correct" basic assumption made by him.

Professor Thakur used Coulomb Correlation theory which applies to both Nonconjugated and Conjugated Conductive Polymers while other theories developed only considering Conjugated Conductive Polymers may lead to incorrect conclusions Conjugated conductive polymer indeed is a special case of Nonconjugated" conductive polymer Professor Thakur discovered "Nonconjugated" Conductive Polymers around the same time as that of the discovery of "Conductive Polymers by Heeger, MacDiarmid and Shirakawa. Here, the blatant violation of academic norms and human rights come to light.

As stated earlier, though the RSAS is in agreement with Professor Thakur that the fundamental basis given in the document preserved for the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry is incorrect/nonfactual the RSAS has not taken steps to make requisite corrections and accord due credit to Professor Thakur Professor Thakur also stated that those receiving the Chemistry Nobel Prize in 2014 did so by plagiarizing from his experimental and theoretical works in nonlinear optics.
