Lawrence and His Laboratory: A Historian's View of the Lawrence Years

This site is a tribute to the founder of the Lawrence Berkeley Lab. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, who invented the cyclotron, opened the way to "a Golden Age of particle physics and evolutionary discoveries about the nature of the universe." In addition to presenting the accomplishments of Lawrence and the laboratory from 1931 to 1958, the site displays a large collection of photos from the Berkeley Lab Online Photo Archive.

Nobel Laureates in Physics

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Library presents this list. Includes the award winners with brief biographical information and a description of the discovery taken from the Nobel Foundation's text describing each Laureate's discovery and other sources.
