Extractions: HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL I tend to partition my life into three compartments: childhood years in a remote village in the province of Henan in central China, schooling years in Hong Kong, and the years since I came to attend college in the United States. The only thread connecting them is the kindness, generosity and friendship from the people around me that I have experienced all my life. My childhood memories are filled with the years of drought, flood and war which were constantly on the consciousness of the inhabitants of my over-populated village, but also with my parents' self-sacrificing love and the happy moments they created for me. Like most other villagers, my parents never had the opportunity to learn how to read and write. They suffered from their illiteracy and their suffering made them determined not to have their children follow the same path at any and whatever cost to them. In early 1951, my parents seized the first and perhaps the only opportunity to have me leave them and their village to pursue education in so far away a place that neither they nor I knew how far it truly was.

In early 1951, my parents seized the first and perhaps the only opportunity to have me leave them and their village to pursue education in so far away a place that neither they nor I knew how far it truly was. I left Chicago in early spring 1968 and took a position in Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey to do research in solid state physics. I found myself a niche in semiconductor research, though I never got into the main stream either in semiconductor physics, which was mostly optics and high energy band-structures, or its use in device applications. I wandered into a new frontier, which was dubbed the physics of two-dimensional electrons. In February 1982, shortly after the discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect, I moved to Princeton and started teaching.

Extractions: P ROFESSOR D ANIEL C T SUI It is no exaggeration to say that Prof. Daniel Tsui is a name well-known to all in Hong Kong. In 1998, Prof. Tsui was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics along with Prof. Horst L. Stormer and Prof. Robert B. Laughlin. He is the sixth Chinese scientist to ever receive this highest honour in scientific research and the first Nobel laureate who received his secondary education in Hong Kong. Prof. Tsui was born the son of a farmer in 1939 in Henan, China. At the age of 12, he was sent by his parents to live with his two elder sisters in Hong Kong. Since then, he has led a fairly independent life. Unfortunately, he was never to see or be reunited with his parents again. Upon arriving in Hong Kong Prof. Tsui entered Pui Ching Middle School. There were a lot of difficulties adjusting to his new life, including learning Cantonese and making a long journey to school every day. Prof. Tsui took all these in his stride and his strengths were soon apparent. He did extremely well in each and every subject at school. Amiable and modest, humorous and cheerful, he was well loved by all of his classmates. In 1957, Prof. Tsui passed the Chinese High School Certification Examination with a distinguished record. He then enrolled in the Special Classes Centre to prepare for the entrance examination of the University of Hong Kong, then the only university in Hong Kong.

Extractions: Cambridge University, England For his contributions to elucidating the nature of quasars, black holes, X- and gamma-ray sources, and many other phenomena in high-energy astrophysics and cosmology. His original ideas span 30 years, from the prediction of superluminal motion in radio sources to exploding fireballs in gamma-ray bursts, always in fruitful contact with observations. He has broadened understanding of the universe by training dozens of creative younger astrophysicists, inspiring public appreciation of science, and formulating science policy. Sir Martin Rees is one of the world's leading theorists in the field of astrophysics and cosmology. He was the first to propose the fantastic and now widely accepted theory that the engines driving the high-energy, deep-space quasars seen through the Hubble Space Telescope are actually enormous black holes. England's Astronomer Royal, Rees was Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy at Cambridge University, and was elected to this chair at the age of 30. He was also president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science and has directed wide-ranging research programs at Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy for the last 20 years. In addition to authoring some 350 research papers and three technical books, Rees has written many general articles on cosmology and its philosophical implications. His latest book, "Before the Beginning," argues that our universe is but one atom in a much larger multiverse.

Extractions: May 23, 2004 In 1961 a young man who had spent his first 12 years on a farm in China, proudly walked across the stage at Augustana College to receive his bachelor's degree. In 1998 this same man, Daniel Tsui, walked across a stage in Stockholm, Sweden, to receive the highest honor in scientific research - the Nobel Prize in Physics. He is the first and only graduate of Augustana to receive the Nobel Prize. He is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. Prof. Tsui was born in the remote village of Henan, China. At the age of 12, he was sent by his parents to live with his two older sisters in Hong Kong and study at Pui Ching Middle School. He did very well in this school and passed the Chinese High School Certification Examination with a distinguished record. Although he had good teachers in mathematics and chemistry, the school did not have a physics teacher. Dan and two of his classmates were very concerned about passing the physics examination that was required to enter the University of Hong Kong. So they each obtained a copy of "College Physics" by Sears and Zemansky and met regularly to encourage each other. They were especially fascinated by the fact that light sometimes acts like a wave and sometimes like a particle. Ah, the seeds were planted.

Extractions: Date: October 13, 1998 Princeton, N.J. Daniel Chee Tsui, Arthur Legrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering, on Tuesday has won the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1982 discovery with co-winner Horst L. Stormer, now of Columbia University, of the fractional quantum Hall effect. A third co-winner, Robert B. Laughlin, explained their result the following year. The experiments by Tsui and Stormer led to Laughlin's finding that the electrons in a powerful magnetic field can form a quantum fluid, in which "parts" of an electron can be identified. Tsui's work stems from a 1879 finding by a student, Edwin H. Hall, who discovered a pattern in the flow of electric current when a gold plate is placed in a magnetic field at right angles to its surface. The current flowing along the plate would drop at right angles. This phenomenon, termed the Hall effect, can be used to determine the density of charge carriers in conductors and semi-conductors and is a standard tool in physics laboratories. In Hall's day, such experiments were performed at room temperature with moderate magnetic fields. By the 1970s, researchers could perform experiments at extremely low temperatures, with very powerful magnetic fields. The 1980 experiment by Klaus von Klitzing found that the Hall effect in the semiconductor silicon does not behave in a linear fashion, but instead creates "steps" along the strength of the magnetic field (von Klitzig won the 1985 Nobel Prize for this discovery).
