Let there be light--with gallium nitride: the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Significant gains in energy savings now underway can be traced to a single invention--the blue light-emitting diode. GaN-based blue LED technology not only resulted in efficient white light sources, but continues to enable a host of applications and scientific inquiries. The researchers primarily responsible for the development of the blue LED were awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Nobel prize winners in physics from 1901 to 1990: Simple statistics for physics teachers

A demographic database for the 139 Nobel prize winners in physics from 1901 to 1990 has been created from a variety of sources. The results of our statistical study are discussed in the light of the implications for physics teaching.

The 1985 Nobel Chemistry Prize to Jerome Karle and Herbert A. Hauptman and the Physics Prize to Klaus von Klitzing Contrast Delayed Versus "Instant" Recognition

In last year’s examination of the 1984 Nobel laureates in physics and chemistw, 1 I noted that Carlo Rubbia, Harvard University and the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland, and Simon van der Meer, also of CERN, received the physics prize barely two years after they identified the W and Z subatomic particles. This is one of the shortest intervals between discovery an...
