New York Times isto prenosi vijest: Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, Nobel Prize Winner in Physics, Dies at 74. "[i]Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1991 for studying the boundary lines between order and disorder in materials like liquid crystals and polymers, died Friday in Orsay, a Paris suburb. (...) In 1961, Dr. de Gennes became a professor of solid state physics at the University of Paris in Orsay, where he first studied superconductors before moving into what was then a scientific backwater, liquid crystals. “His leadership brought in a lot of good people,” Dr. Meyer said. “The fundamental science just exploded after his working in the field.”[i]" |
