Stanford Report, January 27, 2005 2005 Wolf Prize given to chemist Richard N. Zare BY MARK SHWARTZ Richard N. Zare, the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science, has been named winner of the 2005 Wolf Prize in chemistry. The award was announced on Jan. 25 by the Israeli-based Wolf Foundation in recognition of Zare's "ingenious applications of laser techniques for identifying complex mechanisms in molecules and their use in analytical chemistry. There is no doubt that Zare has taken chemistry to its limits, in more ways than one." The $100,000 prize will be presented to Zare by Moshe Katsav, president of Israel, during a ceremony at the Israeli Knesset (parliament) in Jerusalem on May 22. Zare is the seventh Stanford faculty member to receive a Wolf Prize since the awards were established in 1978. He joins a total of 224 scientists and artists from 21 countries who have received the honor, which recognizes outstanding achievement "in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among peoples, irrespective of nationality, race, color, religion, sex or political view." In announcing the award, the Wolf Prize jury cited Zare's "seminal contributions to the theory and practice of both physical and analytical chemistry" by developing "a series of novel techniques in applied physical chemistry that subsequently became indispensable to progress in chemical and biochemical analysis, particularly in relation to detection at the single-molecule, area-selective and sub-cellular levels."

25. Wolf.html The prestigious wolf prize for Physics, 2004, was awarded to Robert Brout (left), This international prize was founded by Dr. Ricardo Wolf in 1976. http://www.ulb.ac.be/sciences/physth/wolf.html

The 2004 Wolf Foundation Prize in Physics The prestigious Wolf Prize for Physics fundamental work in elementary particle physics. This international prize was founded by Dr. Ricardo Wolf in 1976. In 1961, Dr. Wolf was appointed Cuban ambassador to Israel, which remained his adopted country after 1973. Five or six yearly prizes have been awarded since 1978 "to outstanding scientists and artists irrespective of nationality, race, color, religion, sex or political views for achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among peoples". The ceremony takes place each year at the Chagall Hall of the Knesset building in Jerusalem. The problem that was addressed by Brout, Englert and Higgs was the following. When their work was conceived in the early sixties, it was already appreciated that the fundamental tenets that governed intranuclear phenomena were amazingly similar to those used to formulate electromagnetism and gravitation. Yet, whereas the latter interactions extend to distances without limit, the former are extremely limited in range. Is it possible within a unified scheme to account both for their similarities and their differences? Physics is the corpus of ideas which man has developed to attempt to give a complete quantitative description of all observed phenomena based on a minimum number of logically coherent principles.

Anthony J. Leggett John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor and Center for Advanced Study Professor of Physics Winner of the 2002/03 Wolf Prize in Physics The Wolf Foundation announced on January 13, 2003, that Anthony J. Leggett and Bertrand I. Halperin will share the 2002/03 Physics Prize for research on condensed forms of matter. Professor Leggett was cited for achievements in "superfluidity of the light helium isotope at very low temperatures, for his exploration of macroscopic quantum coherence, and for his contribution to the study of dissipation processes in quantum systems that cannot be ignored in practical applications." Both scientists were recognized for their "seminal contributions to the broad range of structures and processes in condensed forms of matter. They have provided a better understanding of the macroscopic properties of materials, which rely on non-intuitive quantum effects and interactions that determine the properties of different states of matter and transitions between them. The theoretical work of both recipients has always been accompanied by experimentation and has had a significant impact on understanding numerous physical phenomena," the Wolf Jury announced.

Vol. 14, No. 7 current issue archive / search contact Nambu awarded Wolf Prize in physics Yoichiro Nambu, the Harry Pratt Judson Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in Physics and the Enrico Fermi Institute and one of the leading figures in the development of modern particle physics, has been awarded the 1994-95 Wolf Prize in physics. Nambu was honored for his contributions to theoretical particle physics in particular, for the work he did to develop the concept of "spontaneous symmetry-breaking" in superconductivity and in the physics of fundamental particles. His theories form an essential cornerstone of what physicists call the Standard Model, which explains in a unified way three of the four fundamental forces of nature: strong, weak and electromagnetic. The award also recognizes his significant contributions to the "color gauge theory," which explains how the strong nuclear force governs the behavior of the quarks that make up protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei, and his contributions to String Theory, one of the dominant theories in physics today. Although Nambu said he was surprised to receive the award, his colleagues said he has long deserved this kind of recognition for his work.

Thomson, News Office January 19, 2005 Professor Daniel Kleppner has won the 2005 Wolf Prize for physics for his groundbreaking work in atomic physics. The $100,000 prize was announced this week by the Israel-based Wolf Foundation Council. Kleppner, the Lester Wolfe Professor of Physics, was cited by the foundation for making "fundamental contributions to atomic physics and quantum optics, mainly using hydrogen and hydrogen-like atoms. He built new devices, performed spectroscopic tests of extreme precision and investigated novel quantum phenomena." For example, in 1960 Kleppner developed with Norman Ramsey the hydrogen maser, which was later used as an atomic clock of unprecedented stability. Applications of this early work range from coordination of radio-signals in long base-line radio astronomy to satellite-based global positioning systems. Kleppner and colleagues also pioneered a whole new field of physics, the study of ultra-cold gases. They developed tools instrumental to the 1995 discovery of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in alkali atoms by Eric Cornell, Carl Weiman and MIT's Wolfgang Ketterle. (The three shared the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics for that work.) BECs, which represent a new form of matter at the lowest temperatures ever achieved, are currently created under various forms in many laboratories around the world. Their study opens fascinating perspectives for applications in both fundamental and applied research.

Weinberg was cited "for his discovery that cancer cells, including human tumor cells, carry somatically mutated genesoncogenes that serve to drive their malignant proliferation." According to the the Israel-based Wolf Foundation Council, "Weinberg is recognized as one of the major contributors to our understanding of the origins of cancer in human beings. Over the span of a 30-year research career, the Weinberg group has continually uncovered major conceptual and substantive findings that have led the field in new directions. "By introducing the notion, now accepted in the field, that cancer is a multistep process characterized by mutations in several oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, he has opened the way to understanding the process of cancer in humans."

Organic Chemist Peter Schultz wins Wolf Prize in Chemistry January 13, 1994 By Diane LaMacchia, DMLaMacchia@LBL.gov LBL organic chemist Peter Schultz has been named co-winner of the prestigious Wolf Prize in Chemistry for 1994/95. Schultz, 38, is a principal investigator in both the Materials Sciences and Structural Biology divisions and a professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley. Schultz will share the $100,000 prize with Richard Lerner of the Scripps Institute. Both men are being honored for their separate work in converting antibodies into enzymes. This work, says the Wolf Foundation, "may potentially revolutionize the process of obtaining new chemical products in the laboratory and by industry." Schultz is widely recognized for his contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms of molecular recognition and catalysis in biological systems. One example of this work is the design of highly efficient "catalytic antibodies" that are able to cut, splice, and modify biological molecules at specific points. Schultz has also developed a new technique for studying proteins in which unnatural amino acids can be inserted site-specifically into proteins. In the last year, he and his coworkers have expanded the genetic code to include more than 80 unnatural amino acids being substituted into proteins so that their catalytic and binding properties and stability can be studied.
