"It's nice to know that this type of work can be appreciated," said one of the recipients, distinguished Harvard University physicist Norman Ramsey. Upon hearing the news, Ramsey, an athletic 74-year-old who recently returned from a trek in Nepal, admits that he was startled. "Are you sure?" he asked the first reporter who called...
...Ramsey was awarded half of the $470,000 prize for his contributions in pioneering a method of measuring the minute movements that occur inside atoms. Ramsey's so-called separated oscillatory fields technique did not just become a valuable scientific tool; it also provided the basis for modern-day atomic clocks. Like the ticking of a pendulum in a grandfather clock, the rapid-fire (9,192,631.770 times a second) oscillations of cesium-atom nuclei, spinning like tops inside a magnetic field, can be used to pace off time...
