    Unrestricted Immigration and the Foreign Dominance of United States Nobel Prize Winners in Science: Irrefutable Data and Exemplary Family Narratives—Backup Data and Information Andrew A. Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

  • Dc Josephson Current Between an Isotropic and a D-Wave Or Extended S-Wave Partially Gapped Charge Density Wave Superconductor
    Chapter 12 dc Josephson Current Between an Isotropic and a d-Wave or Extended s-Wave Partially Gapped Charge Density Wave Superconductor Alexander M. Gabovich, Suan Li Mai, Henryk Szymczak and Alexander I. Voitenko Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/46073 1. Introduction The discovery and further development of superconductivity is extremely interesting because of its pragmatic (practical) and purely academic reasons. At the same time, the superconductivity science is very remarkable as an important object for the study in the framework of the history and methodology of science, since all the details are well documented and well-known to the community because of numerous interviews by participants including main heroes of the research and the fierce race for higher critical temperatures of the superconducting transition, Tc. Moreover, the whole science has well-documented dates, starting from the epoch-making discovery of the superconducting transition by Heike Kamerlingh-Onnes in 1911 [1–7], although minor details of this and, unfortunately, certain subsequent discoveries in the field were obscured [8–11]. As an illustrative example of a senseless dispute on the priority, one can mention the controversy between the recognition of Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) [12] and Bogoliubov [13] theories. If one looks beyond superconductivity, it is easy to find quite a number of controversies in different fields of science [14, 15]. Recent attempts [16–18] to contest and discredit the Nobel Committee decision on the discovery of graphene by Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov [19, 20] are very typical. The reasons of a widespread disagreement concerning various scientific discoveries consist in a continuity of scientific research process and a tense competition between different groups, as happened at liquefying helium and other cryogenic gases [9, 21–24] and was reproduced in the course of studying graphite films [25, 26].

  • Nfap Policy Brief » O C T O B E R 2017
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF» O CTOBER 2017 IMMIGRANTS AND NOBEL PRIZES : 1901- 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Immigrants have been awarded 39 percent, or 33 of 85, of the Nobel Prizes won by Americans in Chemistry, Medicine and Physics since 2000. In 2017, the sole American winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was an immigrant, Joachim Frank, a Columbia University professor born in Germany. Immigrant Reiner Weiss, who was born in Germany and came to the United States as a teenager, was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing it with two other Americans, Kip S. Thorne and Barry C. Barish. In 2016, all 6 American winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and scientific fields were immigrants. These achievements by immigrants point to the gains to America of welcoming talent from across the globe. It does not mean America should welcome only Nobel Prize winners. Such a policy would be impossible to implement, since most immigrant Nobel Prize winners enter the United States many years before being awarded this honor. Most people immigrate to another country in their 20s, particularly employment-based immigrants, who either study in America or come here to work shortly after obtaining a degree abroad. The average of age of Nobel Prize winners at the time of the award is 59.5 years, according to economist Mark J. Perry.1 Table 1 Immigrant Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry, Medicine and Physics Since 2000 Immigrant Nobel Winners Since 2000 33 of 85 American winners have been immigrants Percentage of Immigrant Winners Since 2000 39% Source: Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, National Foundation for American Policy, George Mason University Institute for Immigration Research.

  • 25 Years of Quantum Hall Effect
    S´eminaire Poincar´e2 (2004) 1 – 16 S´eminaire Poincar´e 25 Years of Quantum Hall Effect (QHE) A Personal View on the Discovery, Physics and Applications of this Quantum Effect Klaus von Klitzing Max-Planck-Institut f¨ur Festk¨orperforschung Heisenbergstr. 1 D-70569 Stuttgart Germany 1 Historical Aspects The birthday of the quantum Hall effect (QHE) can be fixed very accurately. It was the night of the 4th to the 5th of February 1980 at around 2 a.m. during an experiment at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Grenoble. The research topic included the characterization of the electronic transport of silicon field effect transistors. How can one improve the mobility of these devices? Which scattering processes (surface roughness, interface charges, impurities etc.) dominate the motion of the electrons in the very thin layer of only a few nanometers at the interface between silicon and silicon dioxide? For this research, Dr. Dorda (Siemens AG) and Dr. Pepper (Plessey Company) provided specially designed devices (Hall devices) as shown in Fig.1, which allow direct measurements of the resistivity tensor. Figure 1: Typical silicon MOSFET device used for measurements of the xx- and xy-components of the resistivity tensor. For a fixed source-drain current between the contacts S and D, the potential drops between the probes P − P and H − H are directly proportional to the resistivities ρxx and ρxy. A positive gate voltage increases the carrier density below the gate. For the experiments, low temperatures (typically 4.2 K) were used in order to suppress dis- turbing scattering processes originating from electron-phonon interactions.
