technologies (ZNT) was opened at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany. The new center hosts a permanent exhibition on bio- and nanotechnologies, including some early scanning tunneling microscopes (STM), built by IBM researchers Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer at IBM Research - Zurich. The scientists received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986 for the development of these instruments, which made it possible to image and later on to manipulate individual atoms. ...

intellectual journey, Professor Lederman discusses the qualities of a scientist, the early years of particle physics, the evolution of his own research interests, the discovery of the muon neutrino, the importance of that discovery and its implications for cosmology. He recalls the dynamism and excitement of his years in particle physics and the experience of winning the Nobel Prize. Drawing on his recent work, Professor Lederman also offers a critique of Secondary school science education ...

The 2009 Harry Mullin, MD, Memorial Lecture featured Murray Gell-Mann, Ph.D., winner of the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physics. The lecture, held on Oct. 15 in the Houlihan-McLean Center, was filmed by PBS affiliate station WVIA-TV. Dr. Gell-Mann presented his overall theme of "Why is beauty or elegance a successful criterion for choosing a fundamental physical theory?"

Tess Michaels a 14-year old sophomore at Shepton High School, and a fellow NanoExplorer at UTD interviewed Dr. Russell Hulse in Summer 2007. Dr. Hulse won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the first binary pulsar a twin star system that provides a rare natural laboratory in which to test Albert Einsteins prediction that moving objects emit gravitational waves, as well as other aspects of his general theory of relativity. The discovery was made in 1974 by Hulse, a 23-year-old graduate ...
