Extractions: Ivar Giaever was born in Bergen, Norway, April 5, 1929, the second of three children. He grew up in Toten where his father, John A. Giaever, was a pharmacist. He attended elementary school in Toten but received his secondary education in the city of Hamar. Next he worked one year at the Raufoss Munition Factories before entering the Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1948. He graduated in 1952 with a degree in mechanical engineering. Giaever emigrated to Canada in 1954 and after a short period as an architect's aide he joined Canadian General Electric's Advanced Engineering Program. In 1956, he emigrated to the USA where he completed the General Electric Company's A, B and C engineering courses. In these he worked in various assignments as an applied mathematician. He joined the General Electric Research and Development Center in 1958 and concurrently started to study physics at Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute where he obtained a Ph.D. degree in 1964. From 1958 to 1969 Dr. Giaever worked in the fields of thin films, tunneling and superconductivity. In 1965 he was awarded the Oliver E. Buckley Prize for some pioneering work combining tunneling and superconductivity. In 1969 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship and thereupon spent one year in Cambridge, England studying biophysics. Since returning to the Research and Development Center in 1970, Dr. Giaever has spent most of his effort studying the behavior of protein molecules at solid surfaces. In recognition of his work he was elected a Coolidge fellow at General Electric in May, 1973.

Extractions: Ivar Giaever in his laboratory, 1973 UPI/Corbis-Bettmann (b. April 5, 1929, Bergen, Nor.), Norwegian-born American physicist who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1973 with Leo Esaki and Brian Josephson for work in solid-state physics. Giaever received an engineering degree at the Norwegian Institute of Technology in Trondheim in 1952 and became a patent examiner for the Norwegian government. In 1954 he migrated to Canada, where he worked as a mechanical engineer with the General Electric Company in Ontario. In 1956 he was transferred to General Electric's Development Center in Schenectady, N.Y. There he shifted his interest to physics and did graduate work at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., receiving a Ph.D. in 1964. Giaever conducted most of his work in solid-state physics and particularly in superconductivity. He pursued the possible applications to superconductor technology of Esaki's work in tunneling, eventually "marrying," as he put it, the two concepts to produce superconductor devices that flouted previously accepted limitations and allowed electrons to pass like waves of radiation through "holes" in solid-state devices. Using a sandwich consisting of an insulated piece of superconducting metal and a normal one, he achieved new tunneling effects that led to greater understanding of superconductivity and that provided support for the BCS theory of superconductivity, for which John Bardeen (B), Leon Cooper (C), and John Robert Schrieffer (S) had won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1972. It was for this workbased in part on Esaki's and further developed by Josephsonthat Giaever shared the 1973 Nobel Prize with Esaki and Josephson.

Extractions: Nobel prize winner Ivar Giaever gives lecture in Tokyo On the initiative of The Norwegian Trade Council and The Norwegian Embassy in Tokyo the Nobel Prize winner Dr. Ivar Giaever visited the Embassy on October 29, to give a lecture for prominent Japanese and Norwegian scientists as well as for Norwegian business representatives in Japan. The professor visited Japan this time in connection with the participation in the Nobel Prize winner forum "Creativity in the 21st century", involving Japanese laureates and some of their foreign counterparts. During his 45 minutes lecture, the audience was given a comprehensive and impressing overview of the importance of science and technology in the future development of our modern society. The event at the Norwegian Embassy in Tokyo was also very fruitful for networking among key persons within science and technology in Norway and Japan, and was a follow-up activity of the State visit to Japan earlier this year. The focus on cooperation will be further highlighted with the signing of the bilateral science and technology agreement between the two governments, likely to take place during the Norwegian Prime Minister's planned visit to Japan in April 2002. Professor Giaever was born in Norway and immigrated to North America after his university degree at Norwegian Institute of Technology. He now resides in New York and performs his work at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as institute professor.
