[This message is cross-posted. Please pardon the duplication.] Papers of 2009 Nobel Laureates Now Freely Available: http://www.aip.org/news/nobelprize2009.html Dear Colleagues, The American Institute of Physics congratulates this year's Nobel Laureates in Physics. Sharing half the prize for his work in developing optical fibers for telecommunications is Dr. Charles Kao, of Standard Telecommunication Laboratories, Harlow, UK, and Chinese University of Hong Kong. According to the Nobel committee, there's now enough fiber-optic cable on Earth to wrap around the globe 25,000 times. Dr. Willard Boyle and Dr. George Smith, formerly of Bell Labs, will share half the prize for their invention of the charge-coupled device. While trying to come up with a new type of computer memory, they realized the device they invented could be used to capture images digitally. Today CCDs are inside interplanetary probes, medical devices and digital cameras-from the one on your cell phone, to the one on board the Hubble. AIP is pleased to offer you a host of resources on our website, including an overview of the work done by these three men, plus related links, photos and interviews. We’re also happy to make to available free of charge a selection of research papers these Nobel Laureates have published in our journals.
