A magazine for the physics community published since 1948 by the American Institute of Physics, PHYSICS TODAY brings to physicists articles on current issues and physics education, reports on meetings, book reviews, and news of research programs and professional activities.
Set of files collected and curated by Bertram Schwarzschild for his work at Physics Today magazine for announcing and profiling Nobel winners in physics, chemistry, and medicine. Files can include correspondence, annotated reprints, interview notes, and rough drafts of articles. Collection also includes a set of audio cassette tapes with a subset of the Nobel Prize winners written about in the paper files. Winners covered include: Allan M. Cormack, Godfrey N. Hounsfield; Paul Berg; Aaron Klug; Ernst Ruska, Gerd Binning, and Heinrich Rohrer; Georges Charpak; Russel A. Hulse, Joseph H. Taylor Jr.; Martin L. Perl, Frederick Reines; Robert F. Curl Jr., Sir Harold W. Kroto, and Richard E. Smalley; Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, and William D. Phillips; Robert B. Laughlin, Horst L. Stormer, and Daniel C. Tsui; Ahmed H. Zewail; Raymond Davis Jr., Masatoshi Koshiba, and Riccardo Giacconi; Paul C. Lauterbur, Sir Peter Mansfield; David J. Gross, H. David Pulitzer, and Frnak Wilczek; John C. Mather, George F. Smoot; Yoichiro Nambu, Makoto Kobayashi, and Toshihide Maskawa; Dan Schechtman; Saul Perlmutter, Brian P. Schmidt, and Adam G. Riess; Francois Englert, Peter W.
