From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: The original publication on graphene was published #OTD in 2004. The discovery of the material - incredibly thin yet strong and able to conduct heat and electricity - led to a Nobel Prize for authors Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim. https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1186626513732587521/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/61999 -

From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: "It is inevitable that many ideas of the young mind will later have to give way to the hard realities of life." Remembering Felix Bloch, born #OTD in 1905 and awarded the 1952 Physics Prize for developing methods for precise measurement. https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1187007278274240515/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/61993 -

From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: Remembering David Thouless, who was awarded the 2016 Physics Prize. Thouless worked with Michael Kosterlitz to describe phase transitions in thin layers at low temperatures. He also explained the quantum Hall effect. He was born #OTD in 1934 and passed away on 6 April 2019. https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1175297610581708800/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/61486 -

From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: In developing quantum mechanical theory, physicist Paul Dirac, born #OTD, predicted that all matter has a kind of mirror image - antimatter. Dirac's theory would later be proved experimentally. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933 which he shared with Erwin Schrodinger. https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1159345255101227008/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/60251 -

From mcnees https://twitter.com/mcnees on Twitter: Dirac's paper on the quantum emission and absorption of radiation, advancing the first truly quantum theory of electrodynamics, was submitted to the Royal Society #OTD in 1927. It is considered by many to mark the beginning of Quantum Field Theory. http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/114/767/243 https://twitter.com/mcnees/status/959477250281353217/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47948 -
