- Heritage
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The creation of Physics is the shared heritage of all mankind. East and West, North and South have equally participated in it.
- Patience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.
- Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Cambridge was the place for someone from the Colonies or the Dominions to go on to, and it was to the Cavendish Laboratory that one went to do physics.
- Father

- Nov 07, 2020
I have been connected with the Niels Bohr Institute since the completion of my university studies, first as a research fellow and, from 1956, as a professor of physics at the University of Copenhagen. After the death of my father in 1962, I followed him as director of the Institute until 1970.
- Picture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Since Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and Rutherford and Bohr revolutionised physics, our picture of the world has radically changed.
- Heart
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My background is in theoretical physics, and it's something very close to my heart.
- Cooling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Laser cooling opened a new route to ultralow temperature physics. Laser cooling experiments, with room temperature vacuum chambers and easy optical access, look very different from cryogenic cells with multi-layer thermal shielding around them.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Lester Germer was my first supervisor at Bell Labs. He was the Germer of the Davisson and Germer Experiment that is sometimes referred to in introductory texts on physics.
- Bump
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Physics investigates the essential nature of the world, and biology describes a local bump. Psychology, human psychology, describes a bump on the bump.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a previous life I wrote the software that controlled my physics experiments. That software had to deal with all kinds of possible failures in equipment. That is probably where I learned to rely on multiple safety nets inside and around my systems.
- Laboratory
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
On the recommendation of my professor in experimental physics, Paul Scherrer, I took an assistantship for electron microscopy at the Biophysics Laboratory at the University of Geneva in November 1953. This laboratory was animated by Eduard Kellenberger, and it had two prototype electron microscopes requiring much attention.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the 1950s, the Biophysics Laboratory at the University of Geneva was lucky enough to receive each summer for several months the visit of Jean Weigle. He was the former professor of experimental physics at the University of Geneva.
- Our

- Nov 07, 2020
Bohr's influence on the physics and the physicists of our century was stronger than that of anyone else, even than that of Albert Einstein.
- Say
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many applications of the coincidence method will therefore be found in the large field of nuclear physics, and we can say without exaggeration that the method is one of the essential tools of the modern nuclear physicist.
- Planned
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Originally I had planned to revert to nuclear physics there, in particular the structure of the deuteron.
