Respected Indian nuclear scientist finally recognized for ground-breaking discovery after 235-U fission takes place in supernova.
Dr MA Padmanabha Rao is already known for his cutting-edge nuclear physics. His dedicated personal research uncovered unexpected new phenomenon in light emissions from X-ray sources, science that lies at the intersection of nuclear and X-ray physics and atomic spectroscopy.
The Washington Post has now picked up on how significant Dr Rao’s work is, especially in light of the extraordinary supernova recently spotted by astronomers in Hawaii.
