lawrence's legacy In the year 2001, Ernest Orlando Lawrence would have been 100 years old. We celebrate the inventor of the cyclotron, the University of California's first Nobel Prize winner, who gave his name to two national laboratories and created the team-based approach to modern science. Read about the man and his legacy, the revolutionary idea of the cyclotron, the landmarks of a remarkable life, and words of remembrance from those who knew him. probing
nanoscale superconductivity Studying single atoms with a special scanning tunneling microscope is an extraordinary way to probe the electromagnetic characteristics of high-temperature superconductors. In the high-Tc superconductor BSCCO, researchers have pinpointed electronic states and quantum spin components of impurity atoms, suggesting the important role of magnetism in these still-mysterious materials. outlining cell nuclei |
