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
Department of Physics, Lund University 1839. Although a pure department of science was not established until the late 19th century, the seeds for the department was established in 1735 when the physics teaching received its own space in the building Kungshuset. The teaching was held inside Kungshuset until the late 19th century, when the department moved to its own building which had instrumental halls, auditoriums, workshops and a library. The department moved again in 1950 to a large building complex named "Fysicum" due to increased space requirements, and its been where since then. At the Department of Physics advanced research takes place divided in different
