His seminal contributions to the theory of many-body systems and to theoretical astrophysics have been recognized by two Guggenheim Fellowships, the Feenberg Medal, the Edward A. Frieman Prize for Excellence in Graduate Student Research, Dirac and Drucker prizes, and by his election to the National Academy of Sciences, American Philosophical Society, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Russian Academy of Sciences, and Hungarian Academy of Sciences and visiting professorships at the California Institute of Technology, College de France, Trinity College, Cambridge, University of Leiden, and the Université de Paris. He was the founding director of the Center for Advanced Study, UIUC (1968–70), was vice-president of the Aspen Center for Physics from 1968 to 1972, founder and co-chair of the US-USSR Cooperative Program in Physics, 1968–89; and a co-founder, vice-president, chair of the board of trustees, and co-chair of the science board of the Santa Fe Institute, from 1982 to 1996.

    John Bardeen 1908–1991 A Biographical Memoir by David Pines ©2013 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. JOHN BARDEEN May 23, 1908–January 30, 1991 Elected to the NAS, 1954 John Bardeen was arguably the most influential scientist/inventor of the latter part of the 20th century. Through his scientific discoveries, his instinct for inven- tion, and his impact on colleagues, he made possible the electronics revolution and the information explosion that have dramatically changed our daily lives. It was therefore entirely fitting that the US Postal Service marked his centenary by issuing a stamp, shown below, in his honor. Bardeen was an authentic American genius. Scientific genius is no easier to pinpoint than artistic genius. It derives from a combination of factors, including—but not limited to—intuition, imagination, far-reaching vision, By David Pines exceptional native gifts that blossom into significant technical skills, and the willingness and ability to chal- lenge conventional wisdom. Perhaps even more importantly, scientific genius depends on an instinct for invention, an ability to focus on the problem at hand, the skillfulness to juggle multiple approaches, and a fierce determination to pursue that problem to a successful conclusion. The inventor of the transistor and leader of the team that developed the microscopic theory of superconductivity, Bardeen possessed all of these qualities. But what was it that distinguished him from other geniuses in physics—Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac, Richard Feynman, Lev Landau, Wolfgang Pauli, and J.

  • Scientists' Letter to Congress on the Iran Deal
    October 30, 2017 Senator Bob Corker, Chairman, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Senator Ben Cardin, Ranking Member, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Representative Ed Royce, Chairman, House Foreign Affairs Committee Representative Eliot Engel, Ranking Member, House Foreign Affairs Committee Dear Senators Corker and Cardin, and Representatives Royce and Engel, The United States Congress has momentous responsibilities with regard to the nuclear agreement with Iran. As scientists who understand the physics and technology of nuclear power, of nuclear explosives, and of long-range missiles; and who collectively bring experience with nuclear nonproliferation, we would like to provide you with our perspective on the wisest path forward. Recent statements by the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European Union, and Iran make clear that renegotiation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) is an unrealistic objective. Since the JCPoA imposes strict restrictions and strong verification on Iran’s nuclear program, Congress should act to ensure that the United States remains a party to the agreement. Along with assuring the continuation of the agreement, this will allow the United States to influence its implementation, including inspections at military installations, through its position on the Joint Commission. The JCPoA does not cover non-nuclear activities by Iran; any such issues could be addressed separately. For example, recent reports suggest that Iran might be open to mutually respectful negotiations addressing limits to Iran’s missile program. We encourage you to recommend that the United States pursue this potential opportunity. President Trump has expressed concerns about the long-term implications of the JCPoA for Iran’s nuclear program.
