On the verge of Umdeutung in Minnesota: Van Vleck and the correspondence principle. Part one
In October 1924, The Physical Review, a relatively minor journal at the time, published a remarkable two-part paper by John H. Van Vleck, working in virtual isolation at the University of Minnesota.…
Identification of successful mentoring communities using network-based analysis of mentor–mentee relationships across Nobel laureates
TLDR
A network analysis of doctoral student-dissertation advisor relationships in The Academic Family Tree indicates the pattern of Nobel laureate mentoring relationships is non-random, supporting the notion that assortative processes occur in the selection of mentors and mentees.
Identification of Successful Mentoring Communities using Network-based Analysis of Mentor-Mentee Relationships across Nobel Laureates
TLDR
A network analysis of doctoral student-dissertation advisor relationships in The Academic Tree is used to identify successful mentoring communities in high-level science, as measured by number of Nobel laureates within the community.
New physics with cold molecules : precise microwave spectroscopy of CH and the development of a microwave trap
Cold polar molecules provide unique opportunities to test fundamental physics and chemistry. Their permanent electric dipole moments and rich internal structure arising from their vibrational and…

Refraction of Beams of Molecules
IN the Stern-Gerlach experiment the deviation of a beam of molecules in a magnetic (or electric) field is comparable to the optical case of the refraction suffered by a beam of light in traversing a…
