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.

At the Center of the Physics Universe : Sept/Oct '98 issue of Stanford Today "I owe a debt of gratitude to the taxpayers in my parents' generation," Laughlin told a roomful of reporters and well-wishers, including his mother, wife and son, at a news conference Oct. 13 in Tresidder Union. "I accuse my generation of not living up to their responsibility to support basic research for future generations."

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 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 . I later came to understand that Berkeley has always been a special place in American physics and that many of the greatest physicists in the world, perhaps even most of them, can trace their roots back to Berkeley in some way. It was this faculty that defined for me what physics was and should be, and thereby helped me make up my mind to pursue physics as a career. I came home in the middle of my sophomore year and announced, much to the horror of my parents, that I was switching to physics from engineering. After some discussion they gave in, as well-meaning parents tend to do in this situation, and I remember my father musing afterward that it would probably come out all right because these things usually did. Meanwhile at school I was experiencing such wonderful things as the surprise appearance of

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)
