  • Since the late 1960s, when physicists hit on the "particle zoo" at nuclear energies, they always had a good reason to build a larger collider. (blogspot.com)
  • Rather, it was about understanding how current technology can be tested against quantum simulations that are relevant to nuclear physicists so that both the theoretical proposals and the technology can progress in practical directions. (umd.edu)
  • These two fields originated in the laboratories of Alfred O.C. Nier, a physicist at the University of Minnesota, and Harold C. Urey, a physical chemist of the University of Chicago, in the years immediately after the second World War. (balzan.org)
  • His grandson had been born as Wilczek was laying out the structure for his book, and in the preface, the physicist writes that he watched as the baby began building up a model of the world, based on his observations and interactions with the environment, "with insatiable curiosity and few preconceptions.
