Brian Pippard three-volumes encyclopaedia "Twentieth Century Physics". As the Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, he compiled "Cavendish Problems in Classical Physics", based in large part on past examination questions for Cambridge physics students. Pippard was the doctoral supervisor of Brian David Josephson (awarded PhD in Physics in 1964) who in 1973 received the Nobel Prize in Physics (together with Leo Esaki and Ivar Giaever) for his discovery of what is known as the Josephson effect. Brian Pippard Sir Alfred Brian Pippard, FRS (7 September 1920 – 21 September 2008), was a British physicist. He was Cavendish Professor
Lyman Laboratory of Physics Lyman Laboratory of Physics The Lyman Laboratory of Physics (named for the physicist Theodore Lyman) is a facility at Harvard University, located between the Jefferson and Crufts Laboratories near the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. It was built in the early 1930s, to a design by Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott. Among the staff are Sheldon Lee Glashow, Higgins Professor of Physics, Emeritus and Richard Wilson (physicist), Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics, Emeritus. Here, Ranga Dias (Post-Doctoral Fellow) and Isaac F. Silvera (Thomas D. Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences) claim to have gathered experimental evidence that
