EARLY YEARS BERKELEY At Berkeley I had my first encounter with real professional scientists. I remember the Berkeley faculty as being particularly visionary and inspirational. In the physics department in particular there was a palpable sense of history going back to Heisenberg Pauli , and Einstein Charles Townes , winner of the Nobel Prize for invention of the laser, in one of my large lecture courses to explain simply and accurately how lasers work and how they came to be invented. I took quantum mechanics from Owen Chamberlain MILITARY MIT I entered graduate school at MIT It was my good fortune at this time to fall in with John Joannopoulos, a young faculty member who had just come from Marvin Cohen's group at Berkeley. I had heard John talking at a research fair and had noticed that he was the only theorist who seemed genuinely interested in his own work, so I contacted him and asked for a job. Neither of us knew it at the time, but John was to become one a truly great trainer of graduate students, for the list of alumni from his group includes Prof. E.J. Mele at the University of Pennsylvania , Prof. A.D. Stone at Yale, Prof. Karen Rabe at

(Photo courtesy of Stanford News Service.) CAMBRIDGE, Mass. The experiment that made it all happen for the 1998 Nobel Prize in physics took place in 1982 at the Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Laughlin attributed his comprehensive understanding of physical phenomena to MIT's strong emphasis on engineering. It was a "confluence of things from engineering that prepared me for understanding the fractional quantum Hall effect and coming up with an explanation," he said during a TV interview at Stanford. Although the prize did not go to an MIT faculty member, "this is very much an MIT Nobel Prize," said Robert Birgeneau, dean of science and professor of physics, who recalls Laughlin as "a brilliant and charismatic graduate student, very self-confident, strong-willed and outspoken, even at the student stage" of his career. "He was very clear in his own mind that he wanted to pursue fundamental issues in physics.

Robert Laughlin awarded 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics Robert B. Laughlin The work for which the prize was awarded is for the discovery of a new form of "quantum fluid" that represents "yet another breakthrough in our understanding of quantum physics and to the development of new theoretical concepts of significance in many branches of modern physics." Bob published the seminal theoretical work for this prize in a pair of papers (Phys. Rev. Lett. , 1395 (1983) and Phys. Rev. B , 3383 (1983)) in which he explained a phenomenon discovered by Stoermer and Tsui the year before. At the center of Bob's explanation is "a new state of matter, a quantum fluid the elementary excitations of which...are fractionally charged". It is a state in which the electrons, each carrying an indivisible unit of electric charge, can act together in such a way as to appear like a single particle with a fractional charge. The importance of Bob's work was recognized almost immediately. He received the E. O. Lawrence Award in 1984 from DOE and the Oliver E. Buckley Prize from the American Physical Society in 1986 and now he has received the most prestigious prize in all science.

Issue of October 14, 1998 Laughlin shares Nobel Prize; four in a row for physics BY DAVID SALISBURY Within hours of getting a pre-dawn call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, the fourth Stanford professor to win the Nobel Prize in physics in as many years was using the award as a forum for public support of research. Robert B. Laughlin, professor of physics and applied physics and the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences, said he wants the public to understand that nature is a wonderful thing that has many surprises. He also wants people to know that providing tax money to scientists to enable them to make fundamental discoveries about nature is vital.

"I accuse my generation of not living up to their responsibility to support basic research for future generations."

Laughlin, Robert B. EARLY YEARS Another important aspect of our home was respect for ideas. At dinnertime one of my parents, usually my father, would lead a discussion about some controversial matter, such as racial integration of schools, whether John Lennon should have compared himself with Jesus Christ, support of Israel, or the morality of the Vietnam war, and all of us were expected to air and defend our views on these things, even if we did not want to. Over the course of time this gave us a deep respect for ideas, both our own and those of others, and an understanding that conflict through debate is a powerful means of revealing truth. This was, of course, before any of us understood rhetoric and how easily it can be misused. But the need for conflict to expose prejudice and unclear reasoning, which is deeply embedded in my philosophy of science, has its origin in these debates. BERKELEY MILITARY While at Fort Sill I met, or more precisely was grouped with, the people who were to be my companions for the rest of my tour in the military. They were a very personable bunch mostly from the upper Middle West, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska, and rather like a selection of the smarter students from my high school, except that the contingent from Detroit was rabidly racist, something that I had never encountered before and still have trouble understanding. Getting to know these people was my first of many reminders that the world is full of intelligent, well-meaning people who, for one reason or another, did not attend university but are nonetheless well-read and educated. Out there on the prairie lost opportunities of youth were the rule rather than the exception, and I slowly became disabused of the myth of the Bright Young Thing and have not believed in it since.

WHILE Lawrence Livermore's environment of multidisciplinary teamwork has long earned high marks in the research community for nurturing technological advancements, it is now being cited as a basis for a Nobel Prize-by none other than its recipient. Last December, Robert B. Laughlin, a longtime Laboratory employee and a professor of physics at Stanford University, received the 1998 Nobel Prize for physics. Laughlin shared the prize with Horst Stormer of Columbia University and Daniel Tsui of Princeton University. In 1983 when Laughlin was a member of the Laboratory's condensed matter division, he provided a groundbreaking-and to some, startling-explanation for Stormer and Tsui's discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Laughlin's cogent argument showed that electrons physically confined to two dimensions at very low temperatures and in a powerful magnetic field can condense into a new quantum state with elementary excitations-its "particles"-carrying a fraction of an electron's electrical charge. The explanation, now firmly entrenched as part of quantum physics theory, was considered revolutionary in this context. Laughlin received the prize in Stockholm from the Swedish Academy of Sciences on December 10. While he is the seventy-first Nobel Prize winner who worked at or conducted research at a Department of Energy institution or whose work was funded by DOE and is the eleventh University of California employee to receive a Nobel Prize in physics, he is the first National Laboratory employee ever to win the prize.

London to San Francisco in less than two hours A revolutionary design for a hypersonic aircraft that could fly between any two points on the globe in less than two hours has been developed by a researcher at Lawrence Livermore. HyperSoar could fly at approximately 6,700 mph (Mach 10), while carrying roughly twice the payload of comparable subsonic aircraft. The HyperSoar concept promises less heat buildup on the airframe than previous hypersonic designs-a challenge that has until now limited the development of aircraft. The key to HyperSoar is the skipping motion of its flight along the edge of the Earth's atmosphere-much like a rock skipping across water. A HyperSoar aircraft would ascend to approximately 130,000 feet-lofting outside the Earth's atmosphere-then turn off its engines and coast back to the surface of the atmosphere. There, it would again fire its air-breathing engines and skip back into space. The craft would repeat this process until it reached its destination. "We believe the design not only addresses the primary issues in building hypersonic aircraft but does so in a way that creates a number of different uses for HyperSoar, thereby helping offset its development costs," said Livermore aerospace engineer Preston Carter, developer of the concept. Potential applications for HyperSoar include passenger aircraft, air freighters, military aircraft, and space lifts. Contact: Preston Carter (925) 423-8293 ( carter17@llnl.gov)
