Townes Published in THINK, IBM's in–house journal, in 1966, the above–titled article established Charles Townes (above), winner of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics, as a maverick among scientists. The 1966 article in THINK stemmed from a talk Townes delivered in 1964 to a congregation at New York's famed Riverside Church. After the THINK article was reprinted in the Technology Review, published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the journal's editor received a letter from a prominent alumnus who threatened to have nothing more to do with MIT if it ever again printed anything like it on religion. On March 9 of this year Townes was awarded the $1.5 million 2005 Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities, which was presented to him on May 4 in a ceremony at London's Buckingham Palace. Townes said upon learning of his award, "Wonderful things in both science and religion come from our efforts based on observations, thoughtful assumptions, faith and logic." He has long argued that science and religion are far more alike than different and are destined to merge.

Charles H. Townes Physicist and Nobel laureate, 86, Berkeley, California Interviewed by Scott Carrier December 2001, Volume 136, Issue 6 Photograph by Dan Winters Science is exploration. The fundamental nature of exploration is that we don't know what's there. We can guess and hope and aim to find out certain things, but we have to expect surprises. Look at Columbus: He was aiming for India. Well, he missed it. He found something else. Listen to other people, but don't necessarily follow them. God is very difficult to define, but I feel his presence. I feel an omnipresence everywhere and something, at the same time, rather personal. In religion, people talk about revelations. In science you find many revelations, too, it's just that people don't talk about them that way. When the idea for the laser came to me, I was sitting on a park bench thinking, Now, why haven't I been able to do this? Suddenly a new idea comes to me, a new creation. Where did it come from? Did God give me this idea? Who knows? I didn't suddenly have a view of God's face, if that's what you mean. In science we just don't talk about it much. You say, Well, I had an idea.

The 1995 Charles H. Townes Award For Support of Science and Mathematics Education is Awarded to Prof. Elizabeth M.Martin This Award is the namesake of Charles H. Townes, a native South Carolinian and Nobel Laureate in physics. With a concentration in quantum electronics, Townes is internationally known for his invention of the maser/laser. An inductee into the Science Hall of Fame in 1983, Dr. Townes is one of the state's and the nation's singularly distinguished figures of this century. A friend of GSSM, Townes addressed our first Convocation in 1988 and keynoted the Foundation's Celebration 1994 Banquet, personally presenting the Townes Awards. The Townes Award is presented by the Governor's School for Science and Mathematics to honor those persons who go beyond the requirements of their professional positions to assist South Carolina in improving science and mathematics education at all levels. Created by sculptor Dr. J. R. Lischka, the award represents an abstract hand of man embracing a molecule representative of our ambition, outreach and continuing search for knowledge, understanding and application. The award is an original design, with the molecule made of brass and the hand of copper, mounted on a solid walnut base. Each recipient receives a personal sculpture, with a central award kept at the South Carolina Governor's School listing all recipients. Selected from a field of prestigious nominees, this year's recipient embodies the ideal of setting the highest standards for the teaching and understanding of science and mathematics. strong>The 1995 Townes Award recipient is:

CHARLES TOWNES CENTER - COMMEMORATIVE GALLERY Charles H. Townes, physicist and Nobel laureate, began his life and career in South Carolina. He played the major role in the development of the laser, one of science's greatest accomplishments. Townes finished Greenville High School at 15. He graduated summa cum laude from Furman University, in 1935, with degrees in physics and modern languages. He took an active interest in the university's museum. Townes did graduate work at Duke University. In 1939, he earned his doctorate in physics from California Institute of Technology. The many pictures and displays in the Charles Townes Center - Commemorative Gallery detail the rich and productive life of one of South Carolina's leading scientist. Charles Townes married Francis H. Brown in 1941 while he as a research physicist at Bell Laboratories. In the early 1950s, he was a professor of physics at Columbia University and was doing the spectroscopy research that would lead to the invention of the maser. In 1959, while still at Columbia University, he was awarded the patent for the maser and in 1960, with Arthur Schawlow, the first laser patent. A leading research scientist, Townes, was also a dynamic teacher. Many of his students have earned acclaim in physics research. In the 1960s, while at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Townes, along with his colleague Ali Javan, worked with experimental equipment that tested the theory of relativity using rotating lasers. Before going to MIT, Townes, spent two years in Washington as director or research at the Institute for Defense Analyses. In the mid-1960s, Townes served as a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee, during the Lyndon Johnson administration. Townes has served on presidential advisory committees since the late 1950s. In 1967 Townes became a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley.

CHARLES H. TOWNES University of California, at Berkeley Charles H. Townes' invention of the maser, a device that amplifies electromagnetic waves, created a means for the sensitive reception of communications and for precise navigation. The maser provided basic components of the laser, for which Townes also received a patent. The difference between a maser and a laser is that the laser utilizes visible light. Apart from being useful tools in the laboratory, both masers and lasers have found many applications in radar, communications, astronomy, navigation, atomic clocks, surgery, and industry. For his advances in the field of quantum electronics, Townes was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize for Physics. Brief Biography PRINCETON UNIVERSITY ...
