Schweigen im Walde bei Paul Crutzen

Am Montagnachmittag im Forum am See: Gut 30 junge Wissenschaftler haben sich in einem kleinen Raum zusammengefunden um Paul Crutzens Vortrag zum Klimawandel zu lauschen. Hinter mir hat es sich Dr. Susanne Hintschich bequem gemacht – heute ist sie zwar Physikerin, aber als Ex-Meteorologin und Wissenschaftsbegeisterte interessiert sie das Thema sowieso. Crutzen ist ja nun […]

Microwaves, magnetism and machine grease: a paean to tool-driven science

John Turton Randall was trying hard, real hard. For some time now, the University of Birmingham physicist was focusing on trying to improve the features of a machine which transmitted and received electromagnetic waves. A few years back this would have been just another intriguing academic problem for a physicist to crack, but this time it […]
