Volume 17, Number 7 Thursday, January 16, 1986 Cornell Physicist Mitchell Feigenbaum Shares 1986 Wolf Foundation Prize By ROGER SEGELKEN Mitchell J. Feigenbaum, the Cornell Uni- versity theoretical physicist whose explana- tions of "chaos" are opening new fields of research in mathematics, , chemistry, and biology, is the co-recipient of the 1986 Wolf Foundation Prize in Physics. He is credited with explaining the phenom- enon of "period doubling" as one way that orderly, predictable systems — such as the Weather or the economy — disintegrate into chaos. Feigenbaum shares the prestigious $100,- 000 international award with Albert Joseph Libchaber, an experimental physicist at the University of Chicago. The Wolf Foundation, in announcing the awards Wednesday, said that Feigenbaum is cited for his "original theoretical work dem- onstrating the universal character of non-lin- ear systems, which has made possible the sys- tematic study of chaos." Libchaber, a French physicist with the James Franck and Enrico Fermi institutes at the University of Chicago, is recognized for his "brilliant experimental demonstration of turbulence and chaos in dynamical sys- tems." Chaos is found in the turbulence of gases and liquids. Examples include the swirls of cream stirred into a cup of coffee or the un- predictable "bumpy" air that bounces an airplane in flight. It can affect almost everything in the uni- verse, from the arrhythmic beating of a fi- brillating human heart to the behavior of global weather patterns to a swirling nebula Physicist Mitchell Feigenbaum stands before his frequently used blackboard.
