Indian who didn’t get Nobel Prize- Case No.25

India’s Ratna CNR Rao missed the Nobel Prize-2016.

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

He is a master blaster. He is Professor C.N.R. Rao. He was also awarded BHARAT RATNA (highest civilian award) in 2014 with Mr. Sachin Tendulkar by President Pranab Mukherjee. He is the third scientist receiving this award after C V Raman and APJ Abdul Kalam. He has done a lot of work in solid state and structural chemistry. He has authored around 1,500 research papers and 45 scientific books. With citations of around 44,000, Rao is on the editorial boards of several leading journals dealing with chemistry, chemical physics, materials science and solid-state chemistry.

If I have to mention here his all achievements the BLOG will be too big.

C.N.R. Rao received the maximum number of votes from chemists across the world in the choice for the Nobel Prize in 2016 but he did not get it. You Know Why???

 Prof. Rao also received international honour for material research. He is the first Asian to be chosen for the prestigious Von Hippel Award.

His contribution: - Rao was one of the earliest to synthesise two-dimensional oxide materials such as La2CuO4.  He was one of the first to synthesise 123 cuprates, the first liquid nitrogen-temperature superconductor in 1987. He was also the first to synthesis Y junction carbon nanotubes in the mid-1990s. His work has led to a systematic study of compositionally controlled metal-insulator transitions.

AFTER COMPLETING M.SC. at BHU, HE WORKED WITH Dr. LINUS PAULING’s PhD (post-doctoral degree) students in Purdue University in the US. After researching also in Berkeley University under leading scientists of the time, he decided to return to India, even though he had felt at home in the US, both academically and culturally.

WHERE HE WORKED in INDIA: -

IIT (KANPUR), IISC (BANGALORE)—Retired as Director, Associated with ISRO. Functioning as an Adviser to PM in Science, and Technology.

He is working now at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in Bangalore, a centre for pioneering scientists, set up by him.

  INDIANS EXTRAORDINARY FIRST PART HERE, I WILL COVER THE  OUTSTANDING INDIAN SCIENTISTS, CHRONOLOGICALLY MOVING BACKWARD . 1.0 NEENA GUPTA. In 2014, she was awarded the Young Scientists Award by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) for solving the Zariski Cancellation Problem, posed by Oscar Zariski, one of the most eminent founders of modern algebraic geometry. “One of the best works in algebraic geometry in recent years done anywhere,” was INSA’s remark on Gupta’s solution. In 2021, she was awarded the Ramanujan Prize for young mathematicians for her series of outstanding work in affine algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, particularly for the Zariski Cancellation Problem, that had remained unsolved for 60 years until 2014 when Gupta cracked it. With this, she became the third woman and the fourth Indian to win an award given to mathematicians under 45 who have conducted outstanding research in a developing country. “Her research shows impressive algebraic s

  MR. MODI--SWOT ANAYSIS SARASIJ MAJUMDER I am a very big   admirer of Mr. MODI. And belongs to similar age group. So, he, and me- saw the same India, and lived in the same period, though groomed differently, worked in different areas, and   also in different professions.
