Steven Chu Professor, Physics and Applied Physics On leave through August 31, 2006 As of August 1, 2004: Director of LBL (Lawrence Berkeley Labs) Room 230 Varian Physics Bldg 382 Via Pueblo Mall Stanford, CA 94305-4060 phone: 650-723-3571 fax 650-723-9173 Email: schu@stanford.edu Stanford Admin Staff: Ping Feng, room 232, phone: 723-9555 Stanford Chu Group web site Research Interests Atomic Physics: We are continuing to develop new methods of laser cooling and trapping and to apply those methods in a variety of problems. Examples of applications include the use of an atom interferometer to measure the fine structure constant to unprecedented accuracy, the use Bose condensates in optical lattices to study many body effects related to condensed matter systems. Biological Physics: We apply single molecule techniques such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer, atomic force microscopy and optical tweezers, we study enzyme activity, and protein and RNA folding at the single bio-molecule level. Systems being studied include how the ribosome reads m-RNA and manufactures proteins, how vesicles fuse into the cell wall at the synapse of neurons, how cells adhere to each other via adhesive molecules, and how RNA molecules fold into active enzymes.

Steven Chu shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics for the development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light. Chu's parents had come to the United States in the early 1940s to study and decided to stay when war made a return to China unlikely. His family tree claims many scientists and engineers, and Chu professes to be the academic black sheep, holding only one advanced degree. While his illustrious relatives attended Ivy League schools, future Nobelist Chu attended the University of Rochester for his undergraduate degree and Berkeley for graduate work. In 1978 he went to work at Bell Laboratories, where he did his award-winning work. He went on to teach at Stanford and continued his laser cooling and trapping work, as well as research on polymer physics and biology.

THIS WEEK ON  SCIENCE FRIDAY... Science Friday Archives October Hour Two: Steven Pinker/Bill Phillips and Steven Chu How is it that we come to be able to do the things we do? How do we manage to remember things, make choices, act intuitively, fall in love, use common sense even talk? According to cognitive scientist Steven Pinker, we have the skills we have and act the way we do because of the way that our brains have evolved. The human brain, Pinker argues, is made up of many different highly specialized modules, just as a machine or a computer program is made up of different units. These modules have slowly evolved to deal with the human environment but they have adapted themselves to deal with a Stone Age world, populated by nomadic hunter-gatherers, not our modern world. Evolution takes a long time, Pinker argues - and modern life has only existed for a blink of an eye, evolutionarily speaking. As a result, some parts of human behavior really don't have a good explanation in today's world - because they aren't responding to today's world. Steven Pinker photo by Bethany Versoy Pinker's new book, "How the Mind Works," draws connections between evolutionary psychology and artificial intelligence in unusual ways. Some people, especially neurobiologists and evolutionary biologists, find some of Pinker's assertions faulty. Join host Ira Flatow as he talks to Steven Pinker about his ideas of how the mind works, on this segment of Science Friday.

GOLDSEA ASIAMS.NET ASIAN AMERICAN PERSONALITIES THE 12 MOST BRILLIANT ASIAN AMERICANS OF ALL TIME Asian Americans who have expanded the frontiers of knowledge and understanding. PAGE 1 OF 2 rue brilliance connotes the shedding of bright light to help us see more of the universe and our place in it. That was our working definition in selecting the first dozen Asian Americans to kick off this category. A dozen is a poetic starting point. We expect many suggestions for expanding it to accommodate other less obvious but intensely luminous figures. It may come as little surprise that the majority are drawn from the fields of science and technology. It's the intellectually broad-shouldered area to which Asian Americans have contributed most remarkably so far so much so that some may be tempted to dismiss these as routine or pedestrian. That would be a shame. Each profiled scientist came by his light through long, uniquely lonesome and intensive effort, and each illuminates a uniquely exciting frontier of human thought. The same can be said for the three whose fluorescence touches the human spirit in ways more easily related to everyday life. The architect, the literary critic, the jurist must all follow long, unique paths to attain the perspective and integrity required to generate renewing light.

Steven Chu From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Prof Steven Chu giving a seminar at The Chinese University of Hong Kong Steven Chu (Chinese: 朱棣文; pinyin : ZhÅ« D¬w©n; born February 28 in St. Louis ) is a Chinese American physicist who, with Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D.

He received his doctorate in physics in from the University of California, Berkeley , where he was a postdoctoral fellow from to . He joined the staff at Bell Laboratories , Murray Hill, N.J., in and became the head of the quantum electronics In Chu and his coworkers used an array of intersecting laser beams to create an effect they called " optical molasses ", in which the speed of target atoms was reduced from about 4,000 kilometres per hour to about one kilometre per hour, as if the atoms were moving through thick molasses. The temperature of the slowed atoms approached absolute zero (-273.15 C, or -459.67 F). Chu and his colleagues also developed an atomic trap using lasers and magnetic coils that enabled them to capture and study the chilled atoms. Phillips and Cohen-Tannoudji expanded on Chu's work, devising ways to use lasers to trap atoms at temperatures even closer to absolute zero. These techniques make it possible for scientists to improve the accuracy of atomic clocks used in space navigation, to construct
