APS Congratulates the 2014 Nobel Prize Winners
October 8, 2014
The American Physical Society congratulates the 2014 Nobel Prize Winners in Physics and Chemistry.
Physics
The physics laureates Isamu Akasaki (Meijo University and Nagoya University), Hiroshi Amano (Nagoya University), and Shuji Nakamura (University of California, Santa Barbara) have been recognized for their work that led to the invention of the blue light-emitting diode, a fundamental stepping stone towards the realization of new environmentally friendly and energy efficient light sources.
Chemistry
The chemistry laureates Eric Bertzig (Howard Hughes Medical Institute), Stefan W. Hell (Max Planck Institute and German Cancer Research Center), and William E. Moerner (Stanford Univerisity) have been recognized for their work in improving the resolution of optical microscopy, in particular the development of a super-resolved fluorescence microscope.
“It’s a great year for optics,” said Pierre Meystre (University of Arizona Regents’ Professor of Physics and Optical Sciences, Physical Review Letters Lead Editor), “with blue LEDs winning the Physics Nobel yesterday and fluorescence microscopy winning the Chemistry prize today. It shows that wonderful things are happening in optics from saving enormous amounts of energy with efficient lighting to helping with life-saving medical advances that rely on super-resolution imaging. They are completely different technologies, but both light-based, and next year is the International Year of Light, so the timing couldn’t be better.”
Many remarkable papers from these scientists contributed to this development. These include Moerner’s seminal 1989 work on optical detection and spectroscopy of single molecules in a solid, which was published in Physical Review Letters. This paper is now freely available on our website.

PRST-AB Introduces Kaleidoscope
March 13, 2009
Starting March 2009, the PRST-AB web site features selected "cover" images extracted from recently published papers. Selections are based on aesthetics; in making our selection we look for attractive and interesting graphics. If a choice must be made between several promising contenders, we will also consider the contents both of the image and of its associated paper. The image will be identified by the title of the paper; there will also be a link to the article. The image itself may be slightly modified. Kaleidoscope images, one per issue, rotate on the main web site and may be browsed in an archive. The PRST-AB image archive already contains some interesting PRST-AB images which have caught our attention during the last couple of months.
