George B. Pegram. John Ray Dunning (September 24, 1907 – August 25, 1975) was an American physicist who played key roles in the Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic bombs. He specialized in neutron physics, and did pioneering work in gaseous diffusion for isotope separation. He was dean of the school of engineering and applied ...
John D. Linsley. Frank B. McDonald. Edward Purdy Ney (October 28, 1920 – July 9, 1996) was an American physicist who made major contributions to cosmic ray research, atmospheric physics, heliophysics, and infrared astronomy. [1] He was a discoverer of cosmic ray heavy nuclei and of solar proton events. He pioneered the use of high-altitude ...
The William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute is a research institute in the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering.FTPI was largely the work of physics Professor Emeritus, Stephen Gasiorowicz and university alumnus and Twin Cities real-estate developer William I. Fine. [1] The institute officially came into existence in January 1987. [2]
In 1965 he graduated from Stanford University with a Ph.D. in physics. His Ph.D. thesis Properties of superconductors and selected magnetic materials in the configuration of thin films was supervised by William M. Fairbank. Goldman became in 1965 an assistant professor in the physics department of the University of Minnesota. There he was a ...

[ edit on Wikidata] The St. Thomas Observatory is an astronomical observatory operated by the Department of Physics on the main campus of the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. The observatory [2] [3] consists of an automated dome and a fully robotic 17-inch (0.43 m) corrected Dall-Kirkham reflecting ...
James Kakalios (born December 27, 1958) [1] is a physics professor at the University of Minnesota.Known within the scientific community for his work with amorphous semiconductors, granular materials, and 1/f noise, he is known to the general public as the author of the book The Physics of Superheroes, which considers comic book superheroes from the standpoint of fundamental physics.
3. Vera Williams. John Harry Williams (July 7, 1908 – April 18, 1966) was a Canadian-American physicist. He was a professor of physics at the University of Minnesota. During World War II he worked on the Manhattan Project. He was a researcher at the Atomic Energy Commission and in 1959 he was appointed Atomic Energy Commissioner.
The Minnesota functionals are available in a large number of popular quantum chemistry computer programs, and can be used for traditional quantum chemistry and solid-state physics calculations. These functionals are based on the meta-GGA approximation , i.e. they include terms that depend on the kinetic energy density, and are all based on ...
