Happy Birthday to the incredible Cnr Rao! Just think—without you, solid-state chemistry might still be a bit softer and far less exciting. With awards like the Marlow Medal, Hughes Medal, and August-Wilhelm-von-Hofmann Medal stacked high on your shelves (do they reinforce those?), your achievements truly stand crystal-clear above all others.May your birthday celebration have as much energy as electrons in excited states! Here's wishing many more groundbreaking discoveries ahead—not just scientific ones like you've brilliantly brought us so far—but perhaps even finding an easier way to explain solid-state theories at parties.
Keep shining brighter than graphene under sunlight!
