3 days ago · A major new building that will house the Cavendish Laboratory, part funded by a large bequest from the estate of Dr Ray Dolby. His PhD research in X-ray microscopy led to innovative work on extracting a weak signal from a noisy background, forming the basis for improved sound recording, subsequently developed commercially by Dolby Laboratories.
1 day ago · The Rutherfords' only daughter Eileen was married to Ralph Fowler, a mathematical physicist at Cavendish Laboratory. They had four children, all of whom were highly educated. Sadness fell on the Rutherford family when Eileen died of a blood clot in 1930, aged just 29, nine days after the birth of her youngest child and just two days before Christmas 1930.

5 days ago · At the Cavendish the Royal Society offered, in November 1930, to build and equip a laboratory for the magnetic researches of Dr. Peter Kapitza. (fn. 452) The money was provided by a gift from Dr. Ludwig Mond, and the new building was called the Royal Society Mond laboratory.
By the early 1930s the concept was well established in chemistry – as Szilard knew. What changed in 1933 was that he could see a concrete mechanism for it in nuclear reactions. The previous year, ...

5 days ago · We additionally measure a proper motion of 20 mas yr-1between JWST/NIRCam observations of the source taken in 2022 and 2023. At the predicted distance, this implies a transverse velocity for JADES-GS-BD-9 of 172−214172214172-214172 - 214km s-1. This spectrum helps to validate the photometric selection of low-temperature brown dwarfs from deep ...
