Milton Kerker (1920–2016)

Duality symmetry and Kerker conditions.

We unveil the relationship between two anomalous scattering processes known as Kerker conditions and the duality symmetry of Maxwell equations. We generalize these conditions and show that they can be applied to any particle with cylindrical symmetry, not only to spherical particles as the original Kerker conditions were derived for. We also explain the role of the optical helicity in these sca...

Milton Charles Winternitz

I do not remember my first meeting with Winternitz, but, when the full-time clinical experiment was launched in Baltimore, Winternitz was one of my first customers. He was and still is one of our ablest medical scientists. In his account of William Henry Welch and the Heroic Age of American Medicine, my brother, Simon, speaks of a group which included such brilliant men as MacCallum, Opie, G.H....

Milton : a New , Unique

Petrography: The interior of the stone consists of relatively small (mean grain size 1.6 mm), angular olivine grains (~73 vol%) in an iron metal matrix (Fig. 1). Ferric oxides are abundant. Samples easily fragment because of the weathering and numerous, probably preterrestrial, fractures. Olivine contains numerous small (typically 50 μm diameter) inclusions, visible in the SEM, that consist of ...
