European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 17, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 2 the stars and stripes thursday october 17, 1985 americans share Nobel chemistry prize physics award goes of West German Stockholm. Sweden up two americans will share the i9s5 Nobel Prirca in chemistry for determining the Structure of molecules while the physics Honor will go to a West German for a discovery Bene fiting the computer Industry Nobel officials said wednesday. Professors Herbert a. A Hauptman of the medical foundation of Buffalo n.y., and Jerome Karle of the . Naval research Laboratory in Washington d., won the chemistry prize for research used in Fields ranging from pesticides to drug Industry Nobel officials said. Thai s Good. That s great because i m the one who nominated them said 1967 Nobel chemistry Laurate William j. Lips comb reached at his office at Harvard University. Hauptman 68, and Karle 67, who will share the 5225,000 ?.c, established a method to determine the Structure of mole Cules within both inorganic and organic chemistry the Royal swedish Academy of sciences said. Professor Klaus von Klitzing 42, of the Max Planck Institute for solid state re search in Stuttgart won the physics prize for the discovery of the quantized Hall effect an exact Way of measuring electrical resistance the Academy said. Stig Lundkvist head of the Nobel com Mittee said von Klitzing s work was crucial for the development of the semiconductor Industry which spans everything from transistor radios to computer chips. It s fantastic. I can t conceive of it von Klitzing said on learning he won the prize. The Academy cited Hauptman and Karle for their outstanding achievements in the development of direct methods for the de termination of Crystal Hauptman and Karle using a rays developed their method in the 1950s, but it took modern computer technology to apply it. Their method gives a three dimensional map of molecules making it possible to copy the Structure for use any time the molecule s Structure needs to be known. It was the i oth time that the chemistry prize was awarded for decryption of the Structure of molecules. The first time was in 1914. Hauptman and Karle Are the 29th and 30th americans to win the chemistry prize but they were the first scientists at their respective institutions to win a Nobel. Von Klitzing is the 15th German to win the physics Honor continuing european re in that Field. Europeans won the physics prize last year breaking a 10-year dominance by americans. His High accuracy measuring system can Only be produced by the Advance technology of the computer Industry which in turn benefits from his discovery the Academy said. The crucial Experiment preceded by re search by japanese scientists and by ism was carried out by von Klitzing in the Spring of 1980 in Grenoble France. He demonstrated that the so called Hall conductivity by which an electric current on a Metal strip is changed if a magnetic Field is applied to it alters with exact Steps. The High accuracy measuring system developed by von Klitzing on the basis of his discovery deviates from an integral number by less than 0.000.000,1. The physics prize last year was shared by italian Carlo Rubbia and Simon Van Der Maer of the Netherlands for proving the existence of one of four fundamental forces in the universe. Europeans swept All science prizes in 1984, except the chemistry award which was Given to Rockefeller University professor r. Bruce Mem Field. The Medicine and economics prizes this year went to americans. Franco Modigliani a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of technology got the economics prize for pioneering theories on savings and for fathering corporate finance. Texas physicians Michael s. Brown and Joseph l. Goldstein share the Medicine prize for discoveries about cholesterol that could help prevent heart attacks and atherosclerosis. The peace prize was awarded in Oslo Norway Friday by the Boston based inter National physicians for the prevention of nuclear War. The literature prize is to be announced in Stockholm thursday. The winners will receive their awards on dec. 10. The Nobel prizes were set up in the 1895 will of swedish chemist Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite.
