The document discusses the history of the Nobel Prize in Physics, including:
- Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prizes in his will to recognize outstanding achievements;
- The first Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Wilhelm Röntgen in 1901 for his discovery of X-rays;
- In 2013, Francois Englert and Peter Higgs won the Nobel Prize in Physics for theorizing the Higgs boson particle, which was later discovered at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually by the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals or organizations for outstanding contributions to peace. It is one of five Nobel Prizes established by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel in his will in 1895. The prizes have been awarded since 1901 and honor work in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace.
The Nobel Prize is the most prestigious award established in 1901 in Stockholm, Sweden in accordance with Alfred Nobel's will. It is awarded annually for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace and economic sciences.

William Pickering was a New Zealand-born rocket scientist who led NASA's first unmanned space flight in 1958 and directed missions to the moon and flybys of Venus and Mars. Some of his key accomplishments included discovering a radiation belt around Earth. He retired in 1976 and received numerous honors for his scientific achievements, including the IEEE Edison Medal, National Medal of Science, and Order of New Zealand.
James Chadwick was a British physicist born in 1891 who is known for discovering the neutron. He received several honors for his work, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935. Chadwick served in World War I and was a prisoner of war. He also participated in the Manhattan Project during World War II. Chadwick's model of the atom focused on neutrons, differing from Niels Bohr's model which depicted electrons in rings. Both models showed the structure of the atom but represented it differently.
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and made much of his fortune selling it worldwide. However, after his death a newspaper mistakenly printed a scathing obituary calling him a "merchant of death," which motivated Nobel to establish a prize honoring scientific achievements and work toward peace. The Nobel Prize is now awarded each year in five categories - Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace - with each laureate receiving a gold medal, diploma, and monetary award of over $1 million.

Nobel Prize Winning Works in Chemistry and their Impact on Societyijtsrd
How different are the careers of Nobel laureates from other scientists US research suggests they follow similar patterns up until the point they win the Nobel prize. Like -‘ordinary’ scientists they rely on collaborations, and have what the authors describe as -‘hot streaks’ – periods where an individual scientist’s performance is substantially better than usual. However, the laureates were more productive, likely to have longer -‘hot streaks’ and more than one hot streak, compared with ordinary scientists. The authors were surprised to find a significant but temporary dip in the impact of the work of laureates in the first or second year following the prize, even though they were just as productive, and had similar amounts of funding available. The impact of their work was judged by the number of papers in the top 1 of citations, for the four years immediately before and after the award. The impact dip is most pronounced among physicists – with a drop of 18.1 in the second year after the award – but smallest in chemists – with a drop of 4.8 . There was also a significant decrease in individual work by both chemistry and medicine laureates after the prize. Dashun Wang, at the Centre for Science of Science and Innovation at Northwestern University, says they had expected to see evidence of the premium that comes with the prize – that increased visibility would increase the impact of their work. Wang and his colleagues investigated laureates’ performance chemistry, physics, and physiology and medicine Nobel prize winner from 1900 to 2016. They also established a comparison data set of more -‘ordinary’ scientists – for each laureate who published their first paper after 1960, they randomly selected 20 scientists in the same discipline and who started their careers at the same time. But a deeper look at research topics suggests that, after being awarded the prize, laureates had a higher likelihood of switching topics than would be expected if they randomly changed research direction at any point in their career. One example is that of Jean Marie Lehn, one of three scientists who were awarded the 1987 chemistry Nobel prize for the synthesis of crypt ands. Immediately after winning, Lehn’s focus shifted to self assembly and self organisation – a topic he’d never previously published on. -‘: It’s not clear why this happens the moment you win the prize,’ especially as : It’s difficult to predict when that will be, says Wang. But it perhaps demonstrates -‘the unwavering effort of Nobel laureates to keep pushing the frontier’. Alex Petersen, in the management of complex systems department at the University of California Merced, is also intrigued by the findings. -‘Winning a Nobel prize affords you a lot of freedom to change research direction,’ he says, and adds that perhaps the dip is -‘just using a range of resources to create a database of nearly every showing the lag in time it takes the research community to decide whether or not a new direction is wo

Martin Lewis Perl was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering experimental contributions to lepton physics, including the discovery of the tau lepton (τ) in 1975. Perl was born in 1927 in New York to Russian-Jewish immigrants. He received his PhD in atomic physics from Columbia University in 1955. As a professor at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Perl led experimental groups studying electron-positron collisions, which led to his discovery of the tau lepton in 1974-1977 through observing anomalous lepton production events. The tau was the third known lepton and completed the first three generations of matter particles. Perl passed away in 2014 at the age of 87.

With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
