Roland Winston - Wikipedia

I just found out that my supervisor (Prof. Roland Winston) at the University of Chicago (for my honors project (1988-1989) in solar-energy optics) passed away earlier this year. :( #UChicago #physics #SolarEnergy #Optics #RolandWInston

Re-remembering Benjamin Whisoh Lee, promoter of gauge theories The Korean American physicist made the framework underlying the standard model accessible to a generation of particle physicists.

This interesting article about Benjamin Whisoh Lee was in the recent #PhysicsToday. #physics #history #historyofscience #korea #BenjaminWhisohLee pubs.aip.org/physicstoday...

Life’s Building Blocks Found in Bennu Samples - Eos The discovery of amino acids, abundant ammonia, and the bases of DNA and RNA on asteroid Bennu suggest that materials essential to life might be widespread throughout the solar system.

I just read this article in the paper version of the #Eos magazine (April). "Life's building blocks found in #Bennu samples". #astrobiology #PlanetaryScience eos.org/articles/lif...

Nobel Prize highlights neural networks’ physics roots The road to the modern machine-learning marvels was paved with ideas from statistical mechanics and collective phenomena.

I just finished reading this article on "Nobel Prize highlights neural networks' #physics roots" by Johanna Miller in the paper version of December's Physics Today. It's definitely worth reading. #NeuralNetworks #JohnHopfield #GeoffreyHinton pubs.aip.org/physicstoday...
