English Bioibliographical notes John Maxwell Coetzee was born in 1940 in Cape Town in South Africa. His background is both German and English. His parents sent him to an English school and he grew up using English as his first language. At the beginning of the 1960s he moved to England where he worked initially…

I was born in Camberwell, South London, on the 26th of March, 1938. I am told I only made it into the world on the date in question by seven minutes, thereby exhibiting at this early stage the tendency to procrastination which I fear has characterized much of my subsequent career. Not a great deal…

  The Nobel Prize in Physics 2003           Vitaly L. Ginzburg P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute, Moscow, Russia   Together with his colleague Lev Landau, Vitaly Ginzburg developed a phenomenological theory of superconductivity in the late 1940s. This theory proposes that those electrons that contribute to superconduction form a superfluid. The superconductor…

  The Nobel Prize in Physics 2003           Two types of superconductors Type-I superconductors are characterised by a total so-called Meissner effect. This means that the superconductor completely expels a magnetic field. If the magnetic field becomes too strong, the superconductive property disappears abruptly. But there are other superconductors, often alloys,…
