    Extractions: - by Steve Weiss and Samuel Harris Born Karl Horovitz in Vienna, Austria, on July 20, 1892, he was exposed to the wonders of science and the beauty of art and culture at an early age. His father, Moritz, was a noted dermatologist, who along with Karl's mother, Adele, encouraged the young man's varied scholarly interests in fields as diverse as botany and the classical works of the Roman poet Horace. And when it came time to choose between enrolling in the engineering or the humanities branch of Austrian secondary education, young Horovitz, perhaps with a little parental nudging, chose the Humanistic School. Upon graduation, he entered the University of Vienna in 1911. His education was interrupted by World War I, during which Horovitz served with the Austrian Signal Corps. After a serious injury and a long recovery, he finished his undergraduate studies with a degree in chemistry. His interests, perhaps sparked by his exposure to radio science in the war, leaned toward physics and with further study, Horovitz received his Ph.D. in that field in 1919. In those days, many institutions allowed a student to gain a post-graduate degree outside of his field without a course of formal study as long as the student could pass what amounted to a doctoral equivalency exam. Due to his somewhat ambivalent educational focus, Horovitz's early work as a scientist frequently focused on the interface between physics and chemistry. However, this didn't keep the esteemed Rockefeller Institute Board from awarding Horovitz an international research fellowship in 1925, only the second ever given at that time. The following year brought another landmark of sortsKarl Horovitz adopted his wife Betty's surname of Lark, linking his wife's name as an artist and print-maker to his own. Clearly the young scientist, with a world of achievement in front of him, still appreciated the value of intellectual balance. It would serve him well in his stateside endeavors.

    Extractions: Edward Mills Purcell and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Resources with Additional Information Edward M. Purcell was awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "development of new methods for nuclear magnetic precision measurements and discoveries in connection therewith". Purcell first observed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in 1945 while working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Radiation Laboratory in an after-hours experiment. Courtesy Purdue University Purcell's other contributions ... included a comprehensive theory of nuclear magnetic relaxation (with [Nicolaas] Bloembergen and [Robert V.] Pound - the famous "BPP" paper, one of the most cited references in physics); the concept of negative spin temperatures (with Pound), which was a precursor to the maser and laser; improved spin-echo techniques (with [H. Y.] Carr); and explanations of the absorption and scattering of starlight by interstellar grains. With [Norman F.] Ramsey he was the first to question the conventional assumption (later disproved) that all particle forces are parity symmetric. With Berg he applied physics to biological problems, in their description of the physics of chemoreception and in his classic paper (in The American Journal of Physics) "

    Extractions: Edward Purcell Interview (June 14, 1991) This interview is part of the Rad Lab Collection Edward Mills Purcell served as a group leader of radar frequencies and systems research on the X-band and K-band projects, (groups 41 and 42) which involved the development of magnetrons at Radiation Lab from 1940 to 1945. He spent his last year at Rad Lab in the Office of Publication writing the Rad Lab Technical Series. Purcell reflects on his work on counter mortar radar and K-band experimental radar. He also takes the opportunity to clear Rabi's name in the controversy around K-band wavelength choice by describing how that decision was made and taking full responsibility for the problems they encountered. Describing the atmosphere at Rad Lab as ebullient, he fondly recalls the pressure of war deadlines, the challenge of learning by doing, and his impressions of DuBridge, Loomis and Rabi.

Bryant: Professor Purcell, we'd like to start with some background. Your family, perhaps your father, and why you chose to get into physics and become a scientist. Purcell: The reason I eventually became a physicist was because of my father. I grew up in a small town in central Illinois and my father was the manager of a small local telephone company. The company still exists and does very well, I think the Illinois Southeastern Telephone Company. My father was a businessman who became the general manager. Through that I got access to certain materials, wire and lead cable and stuff like that. And there came a time when I found myself reading the Bell System Technical Journal which was sent free by the Bell System to this independent telephone company. That was a very exciting and eye-opening experience to look at those articles, most of which I probably couldn't understand, but such a clearly superior product that I decided that I wanted to go into electrical engineering.

    Extractions: Bìhem druhé svìtové války vedl Purcell skupinu, která vyvíjela radary v Radiation Laboratory na MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) v Cambridge. V roce 1946 vyvinul metodu NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - jaderná magnetická rezonance). V látce vložené do vnìjšího magnetického pole konají elementární jaderné magnetické momenty precesní pohyb. Tento precesní pohyb mùže rezonovat s elektromagnetickou vlnou vyslanou na látku. Pomocí jaderné magnetické rezonance lze zkoumat uspoøádání atomù ve složitých molekulách a tato metoda se stala také nedílnou souèástí lékaøských diagnostických metod. Purcell se stal profesorem fyziky na Harvardu v roce 1949 a pomocí radaru citlivého na vlnovou délku 21 cm zachytil záøení atomárního neutrálního vodíku z mezihvìzdného prostoru. V roce 1960 se stal profesorem na Harvardu a v roce 1980 se stal emeritním profesorem tamtéž. Ten samý rok dostal National Medal of Science.

NMR provides scientists with an elegant and precise way of determining chemical structure and properties of materials, and is widely used in physics and chemistry. It also is the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), one of the most important medical advances of the 20th century. For his discovery of NMR, Purcell shared the Nobel Prize in physics with Felix Bloch of Stanford University
