He was also a member of the board of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics ( Nordita ) from its inception in 1957, becoming its director in 1975.

" In 1923, Millikan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.

From 1972 to 1981, Sagan was the Associate Director of the Center for Radio Physics and Space Research at Cornell.

There he was appointed head of the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Vienna in 1850.

Hilbert said " Physics is too hard for physicists ", implying that the necessary mathematics was generally beyond them ; the Courant-Hilbert book made it easier for them.

In 2002, Jönsson's double-slit experiment was voted " the most beautiful experiment " by readers of Physics World.

He was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity.

At age 24, Fermi took a professorship at the University of Rome ( one of the first three in theoretical physics in Italy ) which he won in a competition whose selection committee was chaired by Professor Orso Mario Corbino, director of the Institute of Physics.

For the theoretical studies only, Ettore Majorana also took part in what was soon nicknamed " the Via Panisperna boys " ( after the name of the street where the Physics Institute was ).

Henry DeWolf Smyth, who was Chairman of the Princeton Physics department, had once invited Fermi over to do some experiments with the Princeton cyclotron.

This was documented by scientists of the Lyman Laboratory of Physics at Harvard University.

" He was discharged in 1946 and joined the Upper Atmosphere Rocket Program at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Silver Spring, Maryland, working there until 1950.

Physics ( from Greek: φύσις physis " nature ") is a branch of science that developed out of philosophy, and was thus referred to as natural philosophy until the late 19th century-a term describing a field of study concerned with " the workings of nature ".

The term " hadron " was introduced by Lev B. Okun in a plenary talk at the 1962 International Conference on High Energy Physics.

Isaac Asimov has also speculated that in the event that he had not been killed while in the service of the British Empire, Moseley might very well have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1916, which was not awarded to anyone that year ( along with the prize for Chemistry ).

In 1914, Max von Laue of Germany won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals, which was a crucial step towards the invention of X-ray spectroscopy.

Glauber could not attend the 2005 awards – he was traveling to Stockholm to claim a genuine Nobel Prize in Physics.

Bardeen first heard the news that the Nobel Prize in Physics had been awarded to him, Brattain and Shockley when he was making breakfast and listening to the radio on the morning of Thursday, November 1, 1956.

This was Bardeen's second Nobel Prize in Physics.

This was the first paper to be read to the new Physical Society of London ( now the Institute of Physics ) and appears on page one of volume one of their Proceedings.

On the 27th November 2004 a Blue Plaque presented by the Institute of Physics was unveiled at the Norman Lockyer Observatory, Sidmouth, to mark 100 years since the invention of the Thermionic Radio Valve.

Jason Soares of San Diego band Aspects of Physics provided drum programming for " Vermillion ".

In 2005 Crow also joined Aspects of Physics on guitars, performing with them as they opened for his own band Pinback.

Financial grants have been received from the National Science Foundation and the ( British ) Institute of Physics for the compilation work and the publication costs.

According to Fundamentals of Physics ( 4 ed., Wiley, 1993 ), by David Halliday, Robert Resnick and Jearl Walker, on page 30, Chapter Two, " Motion along a Straight Line ", Joe Sprinz, at the time in question, a member of the San Francisco Ball Club, and formerly of the Indians, attempted to beat the World Record for catching a baseball dropped from a great height, set by members of the 1938 Cleveland Indians, who had done so at 700 feet, with balls dropped from a building.

He continued his education and received his Ph. D. in Physics from the University of Oregon in 1975.

* 1940 – In a ceremony held in Berkeley, California, because of the war, physicist Ernest Lawrence receives the 1939 Nobel Prize in Physics from Sweden's Consul General in San Francisco.

He then obtained a DSc from London and served one year at Cambridge University as a demonstrator of mechanical engineering before being appointed as the first Professor of Physics and Mathematics at the University of Nottingham, but he left after less than a year.

He earned his Ph. D. in Physics from the University of Bristol in 1937, studying under Nevill Mott, and took a DSc at the University of Edinburgh while studying under Max Born.

He was the second Cavendish Professor of Physics at the University of Cambridge ( following James Clerk Maxwell ), from 1879 to 1884.

Despite Theremin being only in his second academic year, the deanery of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy recommended him to go to the Nikolayevska Military Engineering School in Petrograd ( renamed from Saint Petersburg ), which usually only accepted students in their fourth year.

In 1904, Norwegian scientist Vilhelm Bjerknes first argued in his paper Weather Forecasting as a Problem in Mechanics and Physics that it should be possible to forecast weather from calculations based upon natural laws.

Physics ( from ) is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.

Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies that arise from theoretical breakthroughs.

David Kaiser of MIT mentioned in his book, How the Hippies Saved Physics, that the possibilities of instantaneous long-range communication derived from Bell's theorem stirred interest among hippies, psychics, and even the CIA, with the counter-culture playing a critical role in its development toward practical use.
