Research in the unattainable territory that won the Nobel Prize The 2014 Nobel Physics Prize was presented to blue LED. The development of blue LED resulted in the three researchers, Professor Isamu Akasaki, Professor commercialization of much brighter and energy-saving Hiroshi Amano and Professor Shuji Nakamura for the white light, thus contributing to energy conservation invention of an efficient blue light-emitting diode (LED). in the world and an improvement of people's lives in Red LEDs and yellow-green LEDs were developed in the areas without sufficient electricity. In addition to their 1960s; however, practical implementation of blue LEDs use as light sources, blue LEDs are now being widely was so difficult that it was even said that "it would be applied in various fields such as information technology, impossible to realize blue LEDs by the end of the 20th transportation, medicine and agriculture.

At no time in our nation’s history has there been a greater need for our leaders to appreciate the value of science in formulating public policy. During his long record of public service, Joe Biden has consistently demonstrated his willingness to listen to experts, his understanding of the value of international collaboration in research, and his respect for the contribution that immigrants make to the intellectual life of our country.

  • 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.

  • Herbert Kroemer: Biography
    Herbert Kroemer: Biography Herbert Kroemer was born in 1928 in Weimar, Germany. He received a Doctorate in Theoretical Solid-State Physics in 1952 from the University of Göttingen, Germany, with a dissertation on high-field electron transport in the collector junction of the then-new transistor. One of the Göttingen professors, Fritz Sauter, had organized a seminar sequence, where the students had to give in-depth reports on selected key papers in the emerging semiconductor field. Kroemer was assigned the 1949 paper by Bardeen and Brattain on Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action. The paper mentioned a few as-yet unexplained observations, and during his presentation, Kroemer suggested that the drift velocity of the charge carriers might decrease again with increasing field at sufficiently high fields. Sauter was intrigued and suggested that this might be a good topic for a dissertation. Ultimately, the observations in question had a different explanation. But the dissertation led to a career in the physics and technology of semiconductors and semiconductor devices, in a number of research laboratories in Germany and the U.S. Since 1976, he has been with the University of California at Santa Barbara. Dr. Kroemer is the originator of several device concepts, including the heterostructure bipolar transistor, and the double-heterostructure laser. During the ‘60s, he also worked on microwave device problems, and in 1964 he was the first to publish an explanation for the Gunn Effect. With the emergence of molecular beam epitaxy in the mid-‘70s, he returned to heterostructure devices, and he was one of the first to apply the emerging new technology to new and unconventional materials combinations, such as GaP-on-Si and InAs/(Al,Ga)Sb structures, making several contributions to the development of MBE itself.

  • An Historical Survey on Light Technologies
    Received March 31, 2018, accepted May 1, 2018, date of publication May 8, 2018, date of current version June 5, 2018. Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/ACCESS.2018.2834432 An Historical Survey on Light Technologies MASSIMO GUARNIERI , (Member, IEEE) Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Padua, 35131 Padova, Italy e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Following the celebration of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies in 2015, this paper presents a survey of the exploitation of light throughout our history. Human beings started using light far into the Stone Age, in order to meet immediate needs, and widened its used when ancient civilizations developed. Other practical uses were conceived during the Middle Ages, some of which had a deep impact on social life. Nevertheless, it was after the Scientific Revolution and, to a wider extent, with the Industrial Revolution, that more devices were developed. The advancement of chemistry and electricity provided the ground and the tools for inventing a number of light-related devices, from photography to chemical and electrical lighting technologies. The deeper and broader scientific advancements of the 20th century, throughout wave and quanta paradigms and the research on the interactions with matter at the sub-atomic level, have provided the knowledge for a much broader exploitation of light in several different fields, leading to the present technological domains of optoelectronics and photoelectronics, including cinema, image processing, lasers, photovoltaic cells, and optical discs. The recent success of fiber optics, white LEDs, and holography, evidence how vastly and deeply the interaction between light and man is still growing.
