Arno Penzias Arno Penzias was born in 1933 in Munich, Germany. While conducting research on microwave transmission at Bell Laboratories, this physicist stumbled on a phenomenon tracing back to the origin of the universe - highly diffuse cosmic radiation left over after the Big Bang. His discovery earned a 1978 Nobel Prize for Physics. The radio astronomer and astrophysicist also holds two patents in the field of communications technology. Source: Dor LeDor

From 1981 to 1995 Penzias served as Vice President of Research at Bell Labs and from 1995 to 1998 he acted as Chief Scientist at Bell Labs. In his capacity as Vice President of Research in the late 1980s Penzias led a process of significant restructuring at Bell Labs. "At the core of this dramatic shift in the Research group [was] an increased focus on customers, coupled with Bell Labs' new emphasis on the development of commercially valuable devices and systems." For further information on Dr Penzias see his profile on the Bell Labs site or the Encarta site From Barriers To Bridges - Information Engines for our Networked Future In the industrial era, mass production and hierarchical partition characterized the creation of wealth. Enterprises employed vertical integration, so as to assure control over their processes and the predictability of their outputs. Profits hinged upon large volumes. Mass markets, mass media, and massive economic instabilities dominated the scene.

Keynote Speaker Dr. Arno Penzias Dr. Arno Penzias is best known for his work in radio astronomy, and for which he received a Nobel Prize in 1978. He and Bell Labs colleague Robert Wilson received this prestigious award for their discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation, which gave unprecedented support to the "Big Bang" theory of the universe's creation. Dr. Penzias is respected as an inventor and engineer with over twenty honorary degrees and just as many awards to his name. He has authored two books and numerous articles. The springboard for his activities was Bell Labs, where he served as a leading researcher and research leader for over thirty-seven years. His scientific career began in 1961, when he joined Bell Laboratories as a member of the technical staff, and conducted research in radio communication as well as taking part in the pioneering of Echo and Telestar communications satellite experiments. Progressing to positions of increasing responsibility, he retired as vice president and chief scientist from Lucent/Bell Labs in May of 1998. Among many of Dr. Penzias' innovative contributions was the restructuring of the Bell Labs Research organization from a vertically integrated structure based on classic academic disciplines to a structure that focuses on strategic emerging technologies. This created a novel paradigm which has proved to be an effective model for other corporations.

During their observations, their horn antenna kept picking up an inexplicable, ubiquitous background noise. This turned out to be a remnant of the Big Bang, and the two won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1978. Roughly 15 years later, Penzias migrated to Silicon Valley. As a venture partner in New Enterprise Associates , he seeks out and advises start-ups, particularly those specializing in alternative energy The energetic Penzias spoke with CNET News.com's Michael Kanellos recently about developments in the energy field, the looming environmental crisis facing the world, and why Hannibal could get elephants to cross the Alps.

Perteneció a una familia judía de clase media. A la edad de 6 años sus padres lo enviaron a Londres, donde pasó un tiempo hasta que la familia se reunió con la ilusión de viajar a los Estados Unidos. A finales del año 1939 viajó por barco a Norteamérica, llegando a Nueva York en enero de 1940. Penzias estudió en el City College de New York, y se graduó en 1954 como físico. Estudió en la Universidad Columbia. Antes de entrar a la Universidad, Penzias había estado en la marina en donde adquirió experiencia en el laboratorio de radiación. Esto le sirvió para concentrarse en el laboratorio de física de microondas. Su tesis fue la construcción de un amplificador de masa para experimentos en radioastronomía. En 1961 comenzó a trabajar en los laboratorios Bell, en New Jersey. Uno de sus primeros proyectos fue buscar las líneas de emisión de las moléculas de OH. Con el éxito de este primer trabajo emprendió la construcción de una antena más grande. Durante este tiempo, otro radioastrónomo llamado Robert Wilson, llegó de Caltech y comenzó a trabajar en 1963. Ambos iniciaron observaciones radioastronómicas. Debido a la gran precisión de sus sistemas, comenzaron nuevos proyectos uno de los cuales fue la medición de la intensidad de la radicación de nuestra galaxia en altas latitudes, que dio como resultado el descubrimiento de la radiación cósmica de fondo.

Penzias and Wilson discover cosmic microwave radiation Photo: Holmdel satellite antenna Bell Labs built a giant antenna in Holmdel, New Jersey, in 1960. It was part of a very early satellite transmission system called Echo. By collecting and amplifying weak radio signals bounced off large metallic balloons high in the atmosphere, it could send signals across long distances. Within a few years, the Telstar satellite was launched. It had built-in transponders and made the Echo system obsolete. Meanwhile, two employees of Bell Labs had had their eye on the antenna. Arno Penzias (b. 1933), a German-born radio astronomer, joined Bell Labs in 1958. He had done his PhD on using masers (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) to amplify and measure radio signals from the spaces between galaxies. He knew the Holmdel antenna would also make a great radio telescope and was dying to use it to continue his observations, but he pursued other research while the antenna was booked for commercial use. Another radio astronomer came to Bell Labs in 1962 with the same idea. Robert Wilson (b. 1936) had also used masers to amplify weak signals in mapping radio signals from the Milky Way. The launch of Telstar in 1962 gave both researchers what they wanted: the Holmdel antenna was freed up for pure research. Penzias and Wilson began looking for theoretical explanations. Around the same time, Robert Dicke (1916­1997) at nearby Princeton University had been pursuing theories about the big bang. He had elaborated on existing theory to suggest that if there had been a

Arno A. Penzias Interview "Harmony in a digital world" (Milan, 21-10-98) Biography Arno Penzias arrived with his family in the United States in January 1940, fleeing from Nazi anti-Semitism. In 1947 he enrolled in Brooklyn Technical High School. After graduation in 1951, he began studying at City College in New York and during his first year at the college discovered physics and decided to pursue the subject. He graduated in 1954 and joined the US Army Signal Corps as a radar officer at Fort Devens in Massachusetts. After the Army he became a researcher in the Radiation Laboratory of Columbia University. In 1958 he was awarded an M. A. and four years later a Ph.D. in physics. He joined Bell Labs as a member of the technical staff in 1961; two years later he met Robert W. Wilson. The two researchers shared Bell Lab's single post of radio-astronomer, but meanwhile dedicated themselves to research in other sectors. Penzias and Wilson intended to use an antenna to measure the radio signals from Cassiopea A, an extinct supernova, and the halo of the Milky Way. The experiments required that the antenna not introduce any background noise, but Penzias and Wilson could not eliminate an "inexplicable" noise. The experiment seemed to have entered a blind alley. Later the mysterious noise was explained: it was the echo of the explosion which took place 15 billion years ago, the birth of the universe. That "noise" was thus the proof of the "Big Bang" theory. Penzias and Wilson were awarded the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physics for this discovery.
