Tsung-Dao Lee, 1957 Nobel Prize Awardee for Physics.

"A scientific accomplishment is always the cumulative result of many people working in the same field or related fields."

- Tsung-Dao Lee, awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Three interesting facts about Lee:

• His first work was on the renormalisable field theory model, better known as 'the Lee Model'. 

• He was the the youngest ever full professor at Columbia University in the City of New York at the age of 29.

• He was the third youngest scientist ever to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics at the age of 31. (The youngest was Sir Lawrence Bragg who was awarded the Physics Prize when he was 25 years old.)

Lee shared the #NobelPrize in Physics in 1957 together with Chen Ning Yang for their research in the field of particle physics.

HOMAGE TO FOOTBALL LEGEND MARADONA !

REMEMBERING OUR HEROES

LILY THOMAS & HER VALIANT FIGHT AGAINST CRIMINALISATION OF POLITICS

CHARLES DARWIN AND MASSIVE IMPACT OF HIS WORK ON LATER SCIENCE

The power of evolution is revealed through the diversity of life. 

On 24 November 1859 Charles Darwin's book 'On the Origins of Species' was first published, arguably one of the most important books of the 19th century and a book with a massive impact on later scientific research. 

Charles Darwin died in 1882 almost 20 years before the Nobel Prizes were first awarded - they are not awarded posthumously.

159 years after Darwin's book was published, the #NobelPrize in Chemistry was awarded to Frances Arnold, Gregory Winter and George Smith who took control of evolution and used it for purposes that bring the greatest benefit to humankind. Enzymes produced through directed evolution are used to manufacture everything from biofuels to pharmaceuticals. Antibodies evolved using a method called phage display can combat autoimmune diseases and in some cases cure metastatic cancer.

83rd Death Anniversary of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, the Pioneer of Radio Invention

Today we remember the great Indian scientist #Sir_Jagadish_Chandra_Bose, the pioneer of radio invention. 

83rd #death_anniversary

Although Italian scientist #Guglielmo_Marconi is known for the accomplishment, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was the first scientist who discovered the 5 mm wavelength and the technique to send and receive it. He was also the first scientist to invent the instrument to detect plant growth and response to stimulation.

Sir Bose invented the #diode (Integrated Circuit I C) used in computers, the TV antenna and seven out of eleven major radio parts.

IEEE named him one of the #fathers of #radio science.

A #crater on the 🌒 (moon) has been named in his honour.

NOBEL LAUREATES Frédéric Joliot and Irène Joliot-Curie

When Frédéric Joliot and Irène Joliot-Curie bombarded a thin piece of aluminum with alpha particles (helium atom nuclei) in 1934, a new kind of radiation was discovered that left traces inside an apparatus known as a cloud chamber. 

The pair discovered that the radiation from the aluminum continued even after the source of radiation was removed. This was because aluminum atoms had been converted into a radioactive isotope of phosphorus. That meant that, for the first time in history, a radioactive element had been created artificially.

The pair were awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work "in recognition of their synthesis of new radioactive elements."

Remembering Andrew Huxley, who discovered how nerve impulses are exchanged between cells

Remembering the man who discovered how nerve impulses are exchanged between cells, Andrew Huxley, born on this day in 1917. 

The nervous system in people and animals consists of many different cells. In cells, signals are conveyed by small electrical currents and by chemical substances. By measuring changes in electrical charges in a very large nerve fiber from a species of octopus, Huxley together with Alan Hodgkin was able to show how nerve impulses are exchanged between cells. 

In 1952 they demonstrated that a fundamental mechanism involves the passage of sodium and potassium ions in opposite directions in and out through the cell wall, which gives rise to electrical charges.

Huxley and Hodgkin were awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery.
