...Anderson, 53, who is a researcher at Bell Laboratories and a professor of physics at Princeton University, first became interested in physics as a student of Van Vleck's. He extended the basic understanding of magnetism and explained the conducting properties of electrons in amorphous materials like glass, which do not have the patterned atomic structure of crystalline substances like silicon. Sir Nevill Mott, 72, former head of the famed Cavendish Laboratory at England's Cambridge University, provided the theoretical underpinnings of modern solid-state physics in the 1920s. His later work with amorphous materials led to development...
