\n\nTOPIC:  \; How quantum mechanic s cracked the nuclear code
\n\n\n\ n
SPEAKER:
A convergence o f atomic spectroscopy and low temperature physics led to a discovery\, on Thanksgiving Day\, 1931\, that soon solved the outstanding problems of nuc lear physics and launched a technology that transformed the world. \; This discovery was a result of a collaboration the began at The Johns Hopk ins University\, and won the 1934 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Harold Urey (JHU Associate in Chemistry\,1924-28). Another key collaborator was Ferdi nand Brickwedde (JHU B.A. 1922\, M.A. 1924\, Ph.D. 1925) who was then at t he National Bureau of Standards in Washington\, DC. \; I will discuss this discovery and another that followed in early 1932\, with particular e mphasis on their long-term impact and the role of the National Bureau of S tandards.
