...solid-state physics, not to mention a $231 billion worldwide industry for the microchips that are the heart of today's electronic wizardry, from computers to smart toasters to talking Barbie dolls. The other half of the prize, fittingly, went to Zhores Alferov of St. Petersburg's Ioffee Physico-Technical Institute and Herbert Kroemer of the University of California at Santa Barbara for continuing that revolution by pioneering the lightning-fast chips used in satellite links, cell phones and CD players...
...prepare physicians and medical investigators who are thoroughly trained in the physico-chemical, engineering, mathematical, and management sciences...
...give students majoring in physico-chemical and engineering sciences a strong background in biophysics and biomedical engineering...
...simple chemical alterations of the water in which marine organisms lived, Loeb caused tropisms in animals which, under normal circumstances, appeared to be acting "spontaneously." He concluded that all animal behavior was tropistic, or would be if we only knew the controlling physico-chemical forces...
...speakers agreed that there was need for biologists who set forth theories that come out of biological observations alone and that did not immediately draw upon the standing physico-chemical web of concepts. Historical examples were drawn to show that a "boldness and courage of this sort" had been fruitful in stimulating more research. Eventually the unrelated concepts had fit into a scheme that was made consistent with schemes in other fields, the speakers commented. Genetic theory was given as an example of this sort of bold concept that was not at first built on existing physico-chemical bases...
