"Nuclear" as only the nuclei of certain atoms reacted in that way;
"Magnetic" as a magnetic field was required;
"Resonance" because of the direct frequency dependence of the magnetic and radio frequency fields. With this discovery NMR spectroscopy was born and soon became an important analytical method in the study of the composition of chemical compounds. For this discovery Bloch and Purcell were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1952. Interestingly, Dr Isidor Rabi, an American physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1944 for his invention of the atomic and molecular beam magnetic resonance method of observing atomic spectra, came across the NMR experiment in the late 1930's but considered it to be an artifact of his apparatus and disregarded its importance.

George Gabriel Stokes, Sir : 1819 - 1903 George Gabriel Stokes, (b. Skreen, County Sligo, Ireland, Aug. 13, 1819, d. Feb. 1, 1903), was a British physicist and mathematician whose law of viscosity (1851), describing the movement of a small sphere through a viscous fluid, established the science of hydrodynamics. He investigated the wave theory of light, named and explained the phenomenon of fluorescence in 1852, and in 1854 theorized an explanation of the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum. Stokes developed mathematical techniques for application to physical problems, founded the science of geodesy, and greatly advanced the study of mathematical physics in England. Richard Hirsh Source: The New Grolier Multimedia Encylopedia George Stokes (Born: 13 Aug 1819 in Skreen, County Sligo, Ireland Died: 1 Feb 1903 in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England) established the science of hydrodynamics with his law of viscosity. Stokes published papers on the motion of incompressible fluids in 1842-43 and on the friction of fluids in motion and the equilibrium and motion of elastic solids in 1845. In 1849 Stokes was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. In 1851 Stokes was elected to the Royal Society and was secretary of the Society from 1854 to 1884 when he was elected president.

EXPLAINING THE UNIVERSE
Physics 1900
A view from the past
What were the hot topics in physics in 1900? At that year's meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Joseph Larmor opened his presidential address to the mathematics and physics section by emphasising the advances of the previous twenty years in the understanding of electricity and magnetism, adding "In our time the relations of civilised life have been already perhaps more profoundly altered than ever before, owing to the establishment of practically instantaneous electric communication between all parts of the world". The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell had predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, and identified light as a manifestation of these waves. But what was the medium that carried these waves? Larmor asked was it "merely an impalpable material atmosphere for the transference of energy by radiation", or rather "the very essence of all physical actions"? This controversy over the nature of the "ether" was one of the central questions confronting physics. Larmor went on to draw attention to progress in the study of electrical discharges in gases, and especially to research on cathode rays. (At the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that year, Vice-President Merritt had also emphasised the importance of the study of cathode rays.) Three years earlier, that research had led

Notes and References
The following notes have been put in primarily as an aid to those who are unfamiliar with the scientific background, and may want to know more about an unfamiliar name mentioned in the text. They do however sometimes refer to original source-documents; also in some cases they present an opportunity to expand on personal reminiscences. I have on occasion resorted to doing 'notes within notes', on the hypertext principle, as for example in the Bacon note. This seems to be necessary in areas where there is a substantial body of knowledge to be explored in depth by a motivated searcher. Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was born in Lismore; has been described as 'the father of Chemistry and the brother of the Earl of Cork'; educated at Eton; did the Grand Tour 1638-44 during which he took the opportunity to study the papers of Galileo, then recently deceased; with Hookes' vacuum pump demonstrated Galileo's conjecture that all objects fall at an equal rate in a vacuum; his book the Skeptical Chymist (1661) pioneered the scientific approach to chemistry, breaking from the alchemy of the ancients and medievals. Sir Francis Bacon (Lord Verulam, 1561-1626), generally considered in the West to be the father of the modern scientific method, but this view has been challenged by Needham (2.1) and others who have studied earlier Chinese and Islamic (2.2) scientific sources. The main contribution of Bacon in this context is in the development of the Royal Society model, for Scientific Academies (2.3) in the context of the main European States, and particularly in their imperial roles. This aspect of Bacon is treated positively in most histories of science, as a stepping-stone in the Enlightenment process; see for example P J Bowler (2.4). A more contemporary negative assessment however is given by Nandy (2.5) in a UNU evaluation of Indian science policy.

The laser is a device that produces monochromatic coherent light (light in which the rays are all of the same wavelength and phase). The laser has since been applied in a very wide range of uses, including eye surgery, dentistry, range-finding, manufacturing, even measuring the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

    A Brief History of The Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics at Cambridge University. by Robert Bruen Boston College May 1995
    ABSTRACT An important Professorship of Mathematick was deeded in December 1663 at Cambridge University, England, as a result of a gift from Henry Lucas, M.P. for the university. The Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics is the most famous academic chair in the world. This is due in no small part to the current holder of the chair, Professor Stephen Hawking, who is a well known theoretical physicist, and Sir Isaac Newton who was the second holder of the chair. What is not so commonly known is that the chair has been held by others who represent the best and most influential minds in science and technology the world has known. As a group, the seventeen men who have held the chair have made a unique contribution to the world. The three hundred thirty years that have passed since its founding have seen a dramatic evolution of science. The Chair represents a microcosm of the world's progress over the last three centuries, from the Scientific Revolution to the world of technology that we know today.
    Introduction
    An important professorship of mathematick , the Lucasian Chair, was deeded in December 1663 at Cambridge University, England. Henry Lucas, a Member of Parliament for the university from 1639 to 1640, left instructions in his will for the purchase of land with a value that would provide an annual income of 100 pounds to support the professorship. King Charles II signed the letter of acceptance of the deed on January 18, 1664 and Isaac Barrow, the first professor to occupy the Chair, took office in February, 1664. He gave the first lecture on March 14, 1664.[Christianson 1984] All undergraduates were required to attend the Lucasian lectures starting in their third year. The Lucasian Chair celebrated the 330th anniversary of its founding December 1993.
