Chien-Shiung Wu (Chinese: 吳健雄; 1912 - 1997) Was A Chinese-American Particle And Experimental Physicist Who Made Significant Contributions In The Field Of Nuclear And Particle Physics. Wu Worked On The Manhattan Project, Where She Helped Develop The Process For Separating Uranium Into Uranium-235 And Uranium-238 Isotopes By Gaseous Diffusion. She Is Best Known For Conducting The Wu Experiment, Which Proved That Parity Is Not Conserved. This Discovery Resulted In Her Colleagues Tsung-Dao Lee And Chen-Ning Yang Winning The 1957 Nobel Prize In Physics, While Wu Herself Was Awarded The Inaugural Wolf Prize In Physics In 1978. Her Expertise In Experimental Physics Evoked Comparisons To Marie Curie. Her Nicknames Include The "First Lady Of Physics", The "Chinese Madame Curie" And The "Queen Of Nuclear Research". In September 1944, Wu Was Contacted By The Manhattan District Engineer, Colonel Kenneth Nichols. Wu Was Frustrated With Her Lack Of Professorships And Volunteered To Help Out In The Project. The Newly Commissioned B Reactor, The First Practical Nuclear Reactor Ever Built, Which Was Located At The Hanford Site Had Run Into An Unexpected Problem, Starting Up And Shutting Down At Regular Intervals. John Archibald Wheeler And Partner Enrico Fermi Suspected That A Fission Product, Xe-135, With A Half-Life Of 9.4 Hours, Was The Culprit, And Might Be A Neutron Poison Or Absorber. Segrè Then Remembered The 1940 Phd Thesis That Wu Had Done For Him At Berkeley On The Radioactive Isotopes Of Xe And Told Fermi To "Ask Ms. Wu". After Fermi Contacted Wu, Segrè Visited Her Dorm Room Together With Nichols And Collected The Typewritten Draft Prepared For The Physical Review. The Suspicions Of Fermi And Wheeler Came True, Wu's Paper Unknowingly Verified That Xe-135 Was Indeed The Culprit For The B Reactor; It Turned Out To Have An Unexpectedly Large Neutron Absorption Cross-Section. Wu Also Used Her Findings In Radioactive Uranium Separation To Build The Standard Model For Producing Enriched Uranium To Fuel The Atomic Bombs At The Oak Ridge, Tennessee Facility As Well As Build Innovative Geiger Counters. Wu, Like Most Involved Physicists In Their Later Years Distanced Herself From The Manhattan Project Due To Its Destructive Outcome And Recommended To The Taiwanese President Chiang Kai-Shek In 1962 To Never Build Nuclear Weapons. In November 1949, Wu Experimented With The Conclusions Of Einstein's Epr Thought Experiment, Which Called Quantum Entanglement "Spooky Action At A Distance". Wu Managed To Be The First To Establish The Phenomenon And Validity Of Entanglement Using Photons Through Observing Angular Correlation. Specifically, The Experiment Carried Out By Wu Was The First Important Confirmation Of Quantum Results Relevant To A Pair Of Entangled Photons As Applicable To The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (Epr) Paradox. In Her Post-War Research, Wu Continued To Investigate Beta Decay. In 1949, Wu Completely Established Fermi's Theory And Showed How Beta Decay Worked, Especially In Creating Electrons, Neutrinos, And Positrons.At Columbia, Wu Knew The Chinese-Born Theoretical Physicist Tsung-Dao Lee Personally. In The Mid-1950S, Lee And Another Chinese Theoretical Physicist, Chen Ning Yang, Grew To Question A Hypothetical Law Of Elementary Particle Physics, The "Law Of Conservation Of Parity". The Discovery Of Parity Violation Was A Major Contribution To Particle Physics And The Development Of The Standard Model. The Discovery Actually Set The Stage For The Development Of The Model, As The Model Relied On The Idea Of Symmetry Of Particles And Forces And How Particles Can Sometimes Break That Symmetry.

Shannon's 'The Synthesis of Two-Terminal Switching Circuits', and Bardeen and Brattain's 'Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action'. However, it is worth noting that Shannon's "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems", exploring cryptography as a function of information theory is monumental for modern crypto theory. It is "one of the foundation treatments (arguably THE foundational treatment) of modern cryptography. It is also a proof that all theoretically unbreakable ciphers must have the same requirements as the one-time pad [a secret random key used only once]" [Wikipedia] N.B. Shannon published an earlier iteration of this research in the classified report, "A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography (Memorandum MM 45-110-02, Bell Laboratory, 1945).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION of two landmark journals documenting the revolutionary invention of the transistor: the April 1949 issue of The Bell System Technical Journal containing the first description of the invention (published simultaneously in The Physical Review), and the famous July 1949 "Semico…nductor Issue" dedicated entirely to the discuss of the transistor and semiconductor devices. The entire 1949 volume offered. "In the 1930s, Bell Labs scientists were trying to use ultrahigh frequency waves for telephone communications, and needed a more reliable detection method than the vacuum tube, which proved incapable of picking up rapid vibrations. John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley spearheaded the Bell Labs effort to develop a new means of amplification," developing, by 1948, a novel device that would effectively amplify and control electric signals. "At roughly half an inch high, the first transistor was huge by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit onto a single silicon chip. But it was the very first solid state device capable of doing the amplification work of a vacuum tube, earning Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956. More significantly, it spawned an entire industry and ushered in the Information Age, revolutionizing global society" (The American Physical Society). The 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded jointly to William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain "for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect". Also included is Claude Shannon's Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems (pp. 656-715). BARDEEN, J., and BRATTAIN, W. H. Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action.

No. (1), Bardeen and Brattain's paper, is the first comprehensive report on the point-contact transistor, created in December 1947 and announced in three brief papers published in the Physical Review in 1948. The transistor gradually replaced the bulkier vacuum tube, allowing heat reduction and miniaturization of electronic devices. Transistors began to be employed on a large scale in computer manufacturing in the late 1950s; they were eventually miniaturized and incorporated into microprocessors. Bardeen and Brattain shared the 1956 Nobel Prize for physics with William Shockley (see below) for their investigations of semiconductors (the materials of which transistors are made) and for their discovery of the transistor. Origins of Cyberspace 450. No. (2) is a detailed account of the junction transistor invented by Shockley shortly after Bardeen and Brattain's invention of the point-contact transistor. Shockley's design marked a substantial improvement over the point-contact transistor, whose "delicate mechanical configuration would be difficult to manufacture in high volume with sufficient reliability" (Computer History Museum, "The silicon engine: A timeline of semiconductors in computers" [internet reference]). Shockley disagreed with Bardeen and Brattain's explanation of how the transistor worked, claiming that "positively charged holes could also penetrate through the bulk germanium material-not only trickle along a surface layer. Called 'minority carrier injection,' this phenomenon was crucial to operation of his junction transistor, a three-layer sandwich of n-type and p-type semiconductors separated by p-n junctions. This is how all 'bipolar' junction transistors work today" (ibid.). Bell Laboratories began manufacturing junction transistors in quantity in 1951; they dominated the market for many years. Magill, Nobel Prize Winners: Physics, pp. 675-704. No. (3), Shannon's discussion of cryptography from the viewpoint of information theory, "is one of the foundational treatments (arguably the foundational treatment) of modern cryptography. It is also a proof that all theoretically unbreakable ciphers must have the same requirements as the one-time pad [a secret random key used only once]" (Wikipedia). Shannon published an earlier version of his cryptography research in the classified report A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography (Memorandum MM 45-110-02, Bell Laboratories, Sept. 1, 1945).
