Excerpt: Steven Chu (born February 28, 1948) is an American physicist and currently the 12th United States Secretary of Energy. Working at Bell Labs and Stanford University, Chu is known for his research in cooling and trapping of atoms with laser light, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997. At the time of his appointment as Energy Secretary, he was a professor of physics and molecular and cellular biology at the University of California, Berkeley and the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where his research was concerned primarily with the study of biological systems at the single molecule level. He is a vocal advocate for more research into alternative energy and nuclear power, arguing that a shift away from fossil fuels is essential to combating Climate Change. For example, he has conceived of a global "glucose economy", a form of a low-carbon economy, in which glucose from tropical plants is shipped around like oil is today. Chu, a Chinese American, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, with ancestry from Taicang, in Jiangsu province, and graduated from Garden City High School. He received both a B.A. in mathematics and a B.S. in physics in 1970 from the University of Rochester. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1976, during which he was supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

Elle est actuellement la secrétaire d'État des États-Unis, au sein de l'administration du quarante-quatrième président des États-Unis, Barack Obama. De 2001 à 2009, elle était sénatrice démocrate de l'État de New York. Elle fut également la première dame des États-Unis d'Amérique de 1993 à 2001 en tant qu'épouse du quarante-deuxième président, Bill Clinton. Elle est choisie cinq fois par le Time pour figurer sur la liste des cent personnes les plus influentes au monde. En 2008, Forbes la classe au vingt-huitième rang de la liste des femmes les plus puissantes du monde. Hillary Diane Rodham est née le 26 octobre 1947 à Chicago, dans l'Illinois. Elle est la fille aînée de Hugh Rodham et de Dorothy Howell, et a deux frères, Hugh et Tony. Son père était un républicain conservateur et sa mère était démocrate. Son prénom inédit est dû à l'admiration que vouent ses parents à Sir Edmund Hillary, l'alpiniste néo-zélandais. Elle grandit à Park Ridge, dans la banlieue de Chicago. Sportive, méthodiste fervente, elle est une élève assidue, ce qui la conduit à être élue au conseil de classe.
