...council awarded its annual Levenson Memorial Teaching Prize to Ernest H. Wu, a teaching fellow in Biology 7b, Dunwalke Associate Professor of American History Alan Brinkley, and Professor of Government Roderick MacFarquhar...
...Wu, who was nominated by seven of the 20students in his Biology 7b section, was noted forhis ability to integrate personal experience andcourse material in a low-pressure environment."[Wu] has the rare ability to combine academicleadership with concern for his students bothacademically and socially," said Mary P. K.Rossano '89, who introduced the 21-year-oldteaching fellow...
...Wu said that the University should be morecareful in selecting teaching fellows, who carrythe bulk of instruction at Harvard. "I think it'simportant for the Undergraduate Council to lookinto how teaching fellows are trained and picked,"Wu said...
Suddenly, at 93 Kelvin (-292 degrees F), the resistance dropped precipitously. The substance had become a superconductor, able to transmit current with virtually no loss of energy. "We were so excited and so nervous that our hands were shaking," says Physicist Maw-kuen Wu. "At first we were suspicious that it was an error...
...Wu's group, under the direction of University of Houston Physicist Paul C.W. Chu, had achieved the phenomenon of superconductivity at a higher temperature than ever before. And the National Science Foundation announced last week that Chu's Houston lab had pushed that temperature 5 degrees higher -- to 98 K. Under such conditions -- far less extreme than those required only a few years ago -- superconducting technology might eventually become inexpensive and even commonplace. Possible applications: superconducting cables that could transmit electricity from a power plant to a distant city with essentially no energy loss; practical versions of trains that...
