The University of Minnesota (officially the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities) is a public land-grant research university in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. The Twin Cities campus comprises locations in Minneapolis and Falcon Heights, a suburb of St. Paul, approximately 3 mi (4.8 km) apart.
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]
From 2006 to 2008 he was vice-chair and then chair of the Division of Condensed Matter Physics of the American Physical Society. From 1999 to 2005 he was an associate editor for the Reviews of Modern Physics. The University of Minnesota annually awards the Goldman Fellowship to a graduate student in the physics department.
Institutions. University of Minnesota. Alfred Otto Carl Nier (May 28, 1911 – May 16, 1994) was an American physicist who pioneered the development of mass spectrometry. [1] He was the first to use mass spectrometry to isolate uranium-235 which was used to demonstrate that 235 U could undergo fission and developed the sector mass spectrometer ...
