Extractions: When blood is cleared of its various corpuscles there remains a clear liquid, named "plasma" by the great Czech medical scientist, Johannes Purkinje (1787-1869). The use of the term "plasma" for an ionized gas started in 1927 with Irving Langmuir (1881-1957), an American whose achievements ranged from the chemistry of surfaces to cloud seeding for promoting rain, and who in 1932 won the Nobel prize for chemistry. Langmuir worked for the General Electric Co., studying electronic devices based on ionized gases, and the way the electrified fluid carried high velocity electrons, ions and impurities reminded him of the way blood plasma carried red and white corpuscles and germs. Irving Langmuir As a result of those studies, carried out on relatively cool and dense plasmas, scientists nowadays can talk of "Langmuir waves" and fly "Langmuir probes" aboard satellites. Gradually plasma research spread in other directions , of which three were particularly significant. First , the development of radio led to the discovery of the ionosphere , the natural "plasma roof" above the atmosphere, which bounces back radio waves and sometimes absorbs them. Starting with the study of the propagation of radio waves in the ionosphere, a wide variety of plasma waves was identified, in general spreading differently along magnetic field lines than perpendicular to them.

'125 years: The Physical Society and the Institute of Physics' by John Lewis was published in the anniversary year and gives a full account of the Institute's formation and activities. The Physical Society was formed by the initiative of Professor Frederick Guthrie, Professor of Physics at the Royal College of Science, South Kensington. Together with his assistant, William Barrett (later Sir W Barrett, FRS), he proposed setting up a 'Society for physical research', by sending an initial circular to 30 physicists in 1873. Emphasis was to be on practical and experimental science. The Committee of the Council on Education offered the Society the free use of laboratories and apparatus in South Kensington and, at a meeting on 14 February 1874, the Physical Society of London was formed with 29 people present. A further 99 expressed interest in joining. The Society's first president was J H Gladstone. Guthrie became 'Demonstrator' of the Society (he later became President in 1884, two years before he died). 1905 saw the Society's first annual exhibition of scientific apparatus. This exhibition grew in size and popularity and was held each year, with breaks during the first and second World wars.

Andrei Sakharov: Soviet Physics, Nuclear Weapons And Human Rights
A biography of Andrei Sakharov and his contributions to Soviet nuclear weapons research, nuclear fusion, cosmology, human rights, and world peace. Includes a bibliography and links to related sites.
http://www.aip.org/history/sakharov/

Extractions: Text Version ndrei Sakharov (1921-1989) was a Soviet physicist who became, in the words of the Nobel Peace Committee, a spokesman for the conscience of mankind . He was fascinated by fundamental physics and cosmology, but first he spent two decades designing nuclear weapons. He came to be regarded as the father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, contributing perhaps more than anyone else to the military might of the USSR. But gradually Sakharov became one of the regimes most courageous critics, a defender of human rights and democracy. He could not be silenced, and helped bring down one of historys most powerful dictatorships. This exhibit tells about Sakharovs extraordinary life. This exhibit is brought to you by the Center for History of Physics a division of the

http://info.fuw.edu.pl/~bartnik/hist.html

Extractions: Czeslaw Bialobrzewski (1878-1953) was the first head of Theory at Hoza. He came in 1921 from Jagiellonian University (Cracow). For a long time he was the only theoretician, so he also indulged in experimental work, and, accumulating wisdom, he tackled philosophy... In 1938 he organized the prestigious conference New Theories in Physics . During World War II he continued scientific work with his group under the pretext of carrying out measurements for water works etc. (at that time the occupying Germans, considering the Poles to be an inferior race (Untermenschen), had forbidden any scientific activity). The books he has written in this period have unfortunately been destroyed during the Warsaw Uprising (1944). Myron Mathisson (1897-1940) was the most famous theoretical physicist at Hoza. His works on general relativity are cited even today. At the time he could not get tenure at any Polish university (he was a Jew, you see...). He gave courses on mathematical physics at Hoza as Privatdozent . He spent one year in the Soviet Union in Kazan and in 1939 moved to London, where he died.

Extractions: First Step to Nobel Prize in Physics Introduction About 15 years ago the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, in co-operation with the Polish Children's Fund started to organise the so-called Research Workshop on Physics . During the Workshop pupils selected by the Fund partook in various "adult" research projects being carried out at the Institute. Some results obtained by the Workshop participants were extremely valuable and were later published [e.g.: K. Giaro, et al. A Correct Description of the Interaction between a Magnetic Moment and Its Image , Physica C, M. Braun, et al. Vibration Frequency and Height of a Magnet Levitating over a Type-II Superconductor , Physica C, National Competition Since the first competition was a success we decided to repeat the national competition every year. The second competition was organised in 1992/3. Its level was also very high, perhaps even higher than the previous year. The number of participants and winners increased also: 81 papers, 8 winners, 21 honourable mentions in two categories.
