The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.
William Daniel Phillips on Nobelprize.org including the Nobel Lecture on December 8, 1997 Laser Cooling and Trapping of Neutral Atoms; Curriculum Vitae from NIST. Atoms floating in optical molasses. Press Release: The 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics-for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light.
David Morris Lee (born January 20, 1931) is an American physicist who shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics with Robert C. Richardson and Douglas Osheroff "for their discovery of superfluidity in helium-3." [1] Lee is professor emeritus of physics at Cornell University and distinguished professor of physics at Texas A&M University. [2] [3]
Leggett is widely recognised as a world leader in the theory of low-temperature physics, and his pioneering work on superfluidity was recognised by the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics. [6] He has shaped the theoretical understanding of normal and superfluid helium liquids and strongly coupled superfluids. [ 7 ]
Physics is the second Nobel to be awarded this week, after U.S. scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won the medicine prize for their discovery of microRNA and its role in gene regulation ...
After the definitive experimental confirmation by Chien-Shiung Wu and her assistants that showed that parity was not conserved, Lee and Yang were awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. Wu was not awarded the Nobel prize, which is considered one of the largest controversies in Nobel committee history. [8] Tsung-Dao Lee at a conference in ...
The pair won the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics for its discovery. [ 2 ] While doing tests and experiments with the Holmdel Horn Antenna at Bell Labs in Holmdel Township, New Jersey , Wilson and Penzias discovered a source of noise in the atmosphere that they could not explain. [ 3 ]
