Physics, 1930C. V. Raman was an Indian physicist. He was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics in the year 1930 for his outstanding work on the scattering of light. In 1954, he was conferred with the title of Bharat Ratna by the Government of India and in 1957 was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize. He did many important things as a learner. In 1906, his first research paper on light diffraction was published in the Philosophical journal of London. When rays of light pass through an aperture or on the edge of an opaque object and fall on a screen, stripes of sharp or colored light appear on the edge of the rays. This phenomenon is called 'diffraction'. Diffraction is a common feature of motion. This suggests that light is produced in waves. Raman was made a Fellow of the Royal Society for Research in London in 1924 AD. For the discovery of the effect named after him, Raman received the Matteucci Medal in 1928 and both the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Hughes Medal in 1930. After his retirement in 1948, he founded the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore and stayed in the same institution. It was conferred with the title Bharat Ratna by the Government of India in 1954. On 28 February 1928, Chandrashekhar Venkata Raman discovered the Raman Effect, in whose memory this day is celebrated every year in India as 'National Science Day'.

Physics, 1983Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was a noted Indian-American astronomer. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1983, jointly with William A. Fowler, for his studies on physics. Chandrasekhar was on the faculty of the University of Chicago from his death in 1937 to 1995. Dr. Subrahmanyam Chandrasekhar was born on 19 October 1910 in Lahore (now in Pakistan). His early education took place in Madras. At the age of 18, Chandrasekhar's first research paper was published in the Indian Journal of Physics. By the time he graduated from the Presidency College in Madras, many of his research papers had been published. One of them was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, a matter of pride for such a young man. In 1934, at the young age of 24, he solved his scientific curiosity about the falling and disappearing star. Shortly thereafter, on 11 January 1935, at a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society of London, he also presented his original research paper that white dwarf stars, after attaining a defenite mass, in their weight and Cannot grow, eventually they become black holes. He explained that the stars whose mass will be 1.4 times that of the Sun today, will eventually shrink and become very heavy. His mentor Sir Arthur Eddington at Oxford did not accept this research at first sight and ridiculed him. But he was not going to give up. He was again engaged in research and finally, his theory was recognized in 1983, exactly fifty years after his discovery as a result of research being done around the world in this direction. As a result, the year 1983 Nobel Prize in Physics was jointly awarded to him and Dr. William Fowler.

Chemistry, 2009Venkataraman "Venky" Ramakrishnan is a biologist. He has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. These awards have been given to him for his excellent study of the function and structure of ribosomes that make proteins inside the cell. Their achievement will help in developing effective antibiotics. Israeli female scientist Ada Yonath and Thomas A. Steitz of the United States were also jointly selected for this honor. The three scientists explained to the world through three-dimensional images how ribosomes react with different chemicals, using X-ray crystallography to reveal thousands of times larger images of ribosomes. Mr. Venkataraman Ramakrishnan is associated with the prestigious University of Cambridge in the UK and is the head scientist of the Structural Studies Department of the University's MRC Laboratories of Molecular Biology. Venkataraman, popularly known as Venky, is the seventh Indian and third person of Tamil origin to have been awarded the Nobel Prize. He got his early education in Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu.
