...There have been some amusing examples" of mistakes on the part of the prize-awarding committees, Glashow said. He cited the 1906 and 1937 Nobel prizes in physics which recognized J.J. Thomson for discovering the electron as a particle, and subsequently his son for discovering it as a wave...
...string theory you only have one thing; that's the string. [When it] rotates and vibrates in different ways, it can take on the guise of an electron or a quark or a photon," he says. "Everything, in principle, can come out of the string...
...torn Niger, electron-positron colliders and astral planes helped some of Harvard's most talented thesis writers win Thomas Temple Hoopes Prizes this year...
When massive stars explode as supernovas, for example, they create a periodic table's worth of radioactive elements, some of which decay into antielectrons, known as positrons. A black hole, scientists believe, can also produce electron-positron pairs by superheating the material that spirals into its gravitational sinkhole. It was the radiation produced by annihilating positrons and electrons, not the antimatter itself, that was actually observed by Purcell at Northwestern and his collaborators at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington...
...Electron microscopy helps to overcome the phase problem [of crystallography], providing the initial picture that is sufficient for carrying out the [X-ray] high resolution studies," Huber said...
