...lasers from spare parts to tinker with quarks and "high-Z hydrogen-like ions," preferring the rigor of experiments that either worked or didn't to abstract theoretical physics. At Bell Labs, he spent phone-monopoly money playing with electron spectrometers, gamma rays, polymers and other gee-whiz stuff few of us can understand; he once accidentally discovered an important pulse-propagation effect. But even his most obscure technical work had practical applications; his Nobel-winning breakthrough - supercooling atoms into "optical molasses" - inspired improvements in GPS data and oil exploration. "He's a real-world scientist," says physicist Carl Wieman...
...intervention may be required. So, it enables me to get a sense of who they are and what's important to them. When you talk to family members when a patient cannot participate in the conversation, it's even more difficult. If it was for themselves, they might say, "Gee, I don't want to go through that," but they are afraid to limit options for family members, and I can understand that. If a proxy knows that the patient always said, "This is how I want to live my life, this is how I want my life...
...Ying-jeou. Government and business leaders believe Taiwan needs to become more diversified and integrated into the regional economy, which is increasingly dominated by China. "The main lesson we learned in the financial tsunami is that we are only dependent on our export industry, in particular IT," says San Gee, deputy minister of Taiwan's Council for Economic Planning and Development. The idea is to "transform our overall economy to a different stage...
...discuss the matter, other than to say it will support the features someday. It won't even say whether it intends to charge extra for this service. "That is to be determined," a spokesman said. "We are not going into specifics beyond saying that we will offer it." Gee, that's awesome! (See pictures of Steve Jobs...
...from the University of Chicago then spent a year as a post-doc at Cambridge University. While at Cambridge, Ostriker worked with the likes of theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and current president of the Royal Society Martin Rees.“I said to my wife, ‘Gee they all seem very clever over here, but I subsequently realized that it was a very special time,” Ostriker said.From Cambridge he moved to Princeton University, where he spent 16 years as the chairman of the Department of Astrophysical Sciences. Ostriker is particularly noted for his research...
