CU's Steven Tanksley is a co-recipient of the prestigious Wolf Prize
Tanksley By Susan Lang Steven D. Tanksley, the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Plant Breeding and chair of the Genomics Initiative Task Force at Cornell, is one of two scientists to share the 2004 Wolf Foundation Prize in Agriculture for his "innovative development of hybrid rice and discovery of the genetic basis of heterosis in this important food staple." Each year since 1978, the Wolf Foundation, which is based in Israel, has awarded five Wolf Prizes to outstanding living scientists in agriculture, chemistry, mathematics, medicine and physics as well as one to a person in the arts. The prizes are intended to promote science and art for the benefit of humanity, and prize winners are selected by international committees of three renowned experts in each field. The Wolf Prizes are among the most prestigious scientific awards in the world. Tanksley, who is sharing the honor and its $100,000 prize with Yuan Longping of the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center, also was cited by the Wolf Prize Committee as "one of the world leaders in plant genomic research. He has contributed to the understanding of heterosis in rice by identifying genes in a wild ancestor that significantly increased yields. ... Tanksley's research has led to the discovery of the genetic basis of hybrid vigor in this important food staple a discovery with profound implications for promoting the science of plant breeding for the benefit of humankind."

Wolf prize goes to particle theorists Monday 26 January 2004
There are four fundamental forces in nature: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Gravity and electromagnetism are both long range forces, whereas the strong and weak interactions only operate inside the nucleus. The Standard Model includes all of these forces except gravity. However, prior to the work of Brout, Englert, Higgs and others, the Standard Model could not explain why some particles have mass and others do not. In particular, it could not account for the fact that photons - the particles that "carry" the electromagnetic force - have no mass, while the analogous particles for the weak interaction do have mass. The particles carrying the weak force must have large masses to explain why it only acts over short distances.
In 1964, Brout and Englert proposed that the weak and electromagnetic interactions could be united by "spontaneous symmetry breaking". This phenomenon was well known in condensed matter physics where it had been used to explain how, for instance, tiny unordered regions of a magnetic material could suddenly align themselves in a specific direction.

Stein wins Wolf Prize
Elias Stein, Albert Baldwin Dod Professor of Mathematics, is one of two winners of the 1999 Wolf Prize in mathematics. The prize recognized Stein for his "fundamental contributions" to developing methods for analyzing wave energies, such as light and sound. The Wolf Foundation, an Israeli group that awards several prizes in the arts and sciences, also applauded Stein for his "exceptional impact on a new generation of analysts through his eloquent teaching and writing." Princeton faculty have now won the Wolf Prize in mathematics for each of the last three years it was given. Andrew Wiles was a 1996 recipient and Yakov Sinai a 1997 recipent (the prize was not given in mathematics in 1998). Stein shared this year's prize with Laszlo Lovasz of Yale University. Stein has spent much of his career studying and improving upon Fourier analysis. This method, invented by the 19th-century French mathematician J.B.J. Fourier, allows scientists to understand the harmonic content of wave forms. A physicist, for example, might use Fourier analysis to understand what mixture of wave frequencies, or colors, are present in a beam of light. Fourier analysis allows the display on some pieces of home stereo equipment to show what frequencies, or harmonics, are present in music as it plays. Part of Stein's work has been to develop new methods and uses for harmonic analysis. The technique has grown beyond analysis of wave phenomena and is now a key tool for solving partial differential equations, the mathematical laws that govern most physical phenomena. The technique also has applications in fields as diverse as number theory and probability theory.

Princeton Faculty Win Wolf Prize
in Both Mathematics and Physics
Princeton, N.J.Princeton faculty have won the prestigious Wolf Prize in both mathematics and in physics. Yakov Sinai, professor of mathematics, has been named one of two winners of the Wolf Prize in mathematics for 1997, and John Wheeler, Joseph Henry Professor of Physics, Emeritus, has won the prize in physics. This is the second year in a row that a Princeton University mathematician has won the Wolf Prize; last year Andrew Wiles was also a co-winner. Sinai, who will share the award with Joseph Keller of Stanford University, was cited by the Wolf Foundation for "his fundamental contributions to mathematically rigorous methods in statistical mechanics and the ergodic theory of dynamical systems and their applications in physics." Wheeler was cited for his "seminal contributions to black hole physics, quantum gravity, and the theories of nuclear scattering and nuclear fission."

2/5/99: Yale Mathematician Receives Prestigious Wolf Prize, An International Award from Israel
New Haven, CT Laszlo Lovasz
, the William K. Lanman Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics at Yale University, has been named as a co-recipient of the 1999 Wolf Prize, Israel's most prestigious international award. The Wolf Prize is presented each year by the president of Israel for outstanding achievements in science (chemistry, physics, medicine, agriculture and mathematics) and the arts. It is sponsored by the Israel-based Wolf Foundation, which was established in 1975 by diplomat and philanthropist Ricardo Wolf During the Wolf Prize's 20-year history, 17 recipients have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. Israeli President Ezer Weizman will present this year's award to Lovasz and Princeton professor Elias M. Stein at a reception in Jerusalem in May. Lovasz has been honored with the Wolf Prize in mathematics for his contributions to combinatorics, the branch of mathematics that deals with such problems as determining the shortest possible route between a number of cities. A Yale faculty member since 1993, Lovasz is a specialist in discrete mathematics, in particular its application in the theory of algorithms and the theory of computing. In addition to more than 200 research papers and four monographs, he is the author of the books "Geometric Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization" (with

Somorjai Wins Wolf Prize in Chemistry
Gabor A. Somorjai, professor of chemistry, has been named winner of the Wolf Prize in Chemistry, along with Gerhard Ertl. The two will share the $100,000 award. The Israeli-based Wolf Foundation, in its Jan. 27 announcement, said the two men, working independently, laid the foundation for the present understanding of surface chemical reactions, which it said is of enormous importance in industrial technology as well as basic science. Surface science technologies are applied in many industrial processes and are used to fight pollution. Somorjai was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1935. He immigrated to the United States at the 1956 outbreak of the Hungarian Revolution, while in his fourth year as a chemical engineering student at Budapest's Technical University. He received his PhD in chemistry at Berkeley in 1960. After graduation he joined the IBM research staff in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., where he remained until 1964. At that time he was appointed assistant professor of chemistry at Berkeley; in 1972 he became professor. Somorjai has educated more than 90 PhD students and had over 110 post-doctoral co-workers. He has written three textbooks and more than 700 scientific papers on surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis and solid-state chemistry.

UC Berkeley chemistry professor to receive Wolf Prize at May 10 ceremony in Jerusalem, Israel
by Robert Sanders BERKELEY Gabor A. Somorjai, one of the pioneers of surface chemistry and a professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley, has been awarded the annual Wolf Prize in Chemistry from the Israel-based Wolf Foundation. Somorjai, 62, shares the $100,000 award with Gerhard Ertl, 61, of the Fritz-Haber Institute of the Max-Planck Gessellschaft in Berlin. The two independently laid the foundation for the present understanding of chemical reactions at the surface of materials. The field is of great importance in industry today, in areas ranging from pollution control by catalytic converters to the creation of thin films on computer hard drives. The study of surfaces in general their electrical, magnetic and optical as well as chemical properties has been pushed greatly by the race to make electronic circuits smaller and smaller, cramming millions of transistors into a dime-sized area. "This is the first major international award in the field of surface chemistry, and I was very happy to receive it," said Somorjai, who also is a faculty senior scientist in the Materials Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. "Recognition has finally come to the field."
