Abstract:

The history of the Cavendish Laboratory is a fascinating subject to study, not just because this famous centre of experimental physics produced a large number of Nobel Laureates but also because it gives us an insight into the unique milieu of the Cambridge physics community. The evolution of the Cavendish Laboratory, however, was not as smooth as might be expected, and the prestige and reputation of its first directors – James Clerk Maxwell, Lord Rayleigh, Joseph John Thomson and Ernest Rutherford – did not automatically guarantee a rosy future. Like other British physics laboratories in the

Abstract:

Sir Brian Pippard was a brilliant experimental physicist with a deep understanding of physics and physical processes; he used this understanding to make pioneering contributions to condensed matter physics. He will be particularly remembered as the first experimenter to map a Fermi surface and for his non-local theories of electromagnetic response in normal metals and superconductors, the latter predating the theory of superconductivity of Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer. Most of his career was spent at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, where he held the Cavendish Professorship

Abstract:

William Ernest Burcham, known almost always as Bill, was an experimental nuclear physicist whose research was chiefly concerned with nuclear reactions and with radioactive β-decay. As an undergraduate, research student and postdoctoral student he worked in the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge during the last few years of Lord Rutherford’s life. During World War II he was one of those who pioneered the use of centimetre wavelengths in airborne radar. As a university teacher after the war, first in Cambridge and then in Birmingham, he helped for more than 30 years to re-establish nuclear studie

Abstract:

Professor John Baldwin was an experimental astrophysicist of the highest distinction who made many innovative contributions to radio and optical astronomy. He pursued his entire research career as a member, and then head, of the Radio Astronomy Group of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University. His deep understanding and physical intuition for all aspects of interferometry, first at radio and then at optical wavelengths, resulted in a series of ground-breaking telescope systems for astronomy. These led to new approaches to the construction and operation of telescopes in these astronomi

Abstract:

AbstractAt the end of World War II it would have been impossible to have foreseen the rapid growth of radio astronomy at the Radiophysics Lab. In the space of about five years radio astronomy not only became the dominant research program, but the RP group was easily the largest and most generously funded in the world. The two main rivals to Radiophysics were the Jodrell Bank group at the University of Manchester led by Bernard Lovell and the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University led by Martin Ryle. However, both these English groups were relatively small sections within their University

Bragg, Kendrew, and Perutz at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, published in 1950 proposals for the nature of the folding of the constituents (the amino acid residues) of proteins such as keratin, the constituent of hair and wool. Almost immediately, Pauling and Corey at the California Institute of Technology published a series of strong critical articles, in which they repudiated the model proposed by the Cambridge trio. Also, they proposed a new motif for the structure of proteins—the so-called alpha-helix. Its nature and importance are described herein, and its subsequent validity (demon

Abstract:

Abstract Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory remained a private enterprise until the early 1870s. The situation began to change after Maxwell’s appointment at the head of the new Cavendish Laboratory in 1871 and the publication of the Treatise in 1873. This was a slow process, because the Treatise was ‘a very hard nut to crack’ even to Cambridge wranglers, and because in his new capacity Maxwell could not effectively direct theoretical researches. Yet some English-speaking students of electromagnetism, in Cambridge and elsewhere, were now exposed to the new doctrine. Some of them became Maxwell’s

Abstract Pyotr (or Peter) Leonidovich Kapitsa (or Kapitza) was a Russian physicist, whose formative years were spent at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge during Rutherford’s reign [16]. Kapitsa arrived in Cambridge as a young man, fresh from his studies in Moscow and sought an interview with Rutherford, for he had set his heart on working with the great man. Rutherford refused to consider Kapitsa because the laboratory was already seriously overcrowded. Impetuously the young Russian asked him, ‘How many research students have you?’ ‘About thirty’, was the reply. ‘What is the customary accu

The nuclear physicists had formed their own private group within the Cavendish Laboratory, concentrating on nuclear flssion and the possibility of an atomic bomb. Former staff had come out of retirement to continue the teaching, and the place livened up when the University of London evacuated its students away from the bombing to the rather safer Cambridge.
