An Italian theoretical physicist and a founder of string theory. He currently holds the chair of Elementary Particles, Gravitation and Cosmology at the College of France.While working at CERN in 1968, Veneziano discovered that the Euler Beta function used as a scattering amplitude, the so-called Veneziano amplitude, has many features useful for explaining the physical properties of strongly interacting particles. This amplitude is now interpreted as the scattering amplitude for four open string tachyons.Veneziano's work led to intense research trying to explain the strong force by a field theory of strings about one fermi in length. The rise of quantum chromodynamics, a rival explanation of the strong force, led to a loss of interest in string theories. Interest in string theories revived in the 1980s. More recently, Veneziano has worked in string cosmology.

Was a physicist, mathematician and expert on fluid dynamics and wave theory. He has been described as "one of the greatest physical scientists of the 20th century".[citation needed]His first paper was on quanta showing that Young's slit diffraction experiment produced fringes even with feeble light sources such that less than one photon was present at a time. He followed this up with work on shock waves, winning a Smith's Prize. In 1910 he was elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College, and the following year he was appointed to a meteorology post, becoming Reader in Dynamical Meteorology. His work on turbulence in the atmosphere led to the publication of "Turbulent motion in fluids," which won him the Adams Prize in 1915.

Was a Jesuit missionary and botanist to the Philippines. The genus Camellia was named in his honour by Carolus Linnaeus. He was originally from Moravia and wrote Herbarium aliarumque stirpium in insula Luzone Philippinarum (Herbs and Medicinal Plants in the island of Luzon, Philippines). Parts of this work on oriental plants were published as an appendix in the work of a leading British botanist, John Ray, in the Historia plantarum; species hactenus editas insuper multas noviter inventas & descriptas complectens in 1704, and in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.

Was a German experimental nuclear physicist. He was a participant in a group known as the “first Uranverein,” which was spawned by a meeting conducted by the Reichserziehungsministerium, in April 1939, to discuss the potential of a sustained nuclear reaction. He worked under Werner Heisenberg at the University of Leipzig, and he conducted experiments on spherical layers of uranium oxide surrounded by heavy water. He was a contributor to the German nuclear energy project (Uranverein). In 1945, he was sent to Russia to work on the Soviet atomic bomb project. He returned to Germany in 1957, and he become professor of electrical engineering and director of the Institut für Angewandte Physik at the Hochschule für Elektrotechnik.

He was to spend the rest of his working life at Columbia, taking his doctorate in 1903 and becoming a full professor in 1918. His administrative career began as early as 1913 when he became the department's executive officer. By 1918, he was Dean of the Faculty of Applied Sciences but he resigned in 1930 to relaunch his research activities, performing many meticulous measurements on the properties of neutrons with John R. Dunning.[1]

Was a Dutch-American theoretical physicist. He introduced the concept of electron spin, which posits that electrons rotate on an axis, with Samuel Abraham Goudsmit, for which they were awarded the Max Planck medal in 1964. Uhlenbeck was also awarded the Lorentz Medal in 1970 and Wolf Prize in Physics in 1979.Other important work includes co-inventing the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process which describes Brownian motion of particles in a fluid with friction.

Was the Republican Governor of the U.S. state of Illinois from 1999 until 2003. Although Ryan became nationally known when he "raised the national debate on capital punishment" by issuing a moratorium on executions in 2000[1], his 35-year political career was tarnished by scandal. Investigations into widespread corruption during his administration led to his retirement from politics in 2003 and federal corruption convictions in 2006. Ryan entered federal prison on November 7, 2007 to begin serving a sentence of six years and six months. As of June 13, 2008, he is housed at the satellite prison camp adjacent to the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) at Terre Haute, Indiana.
