3 ott 2018 · Leon Lederman, a Nobel Prize – winning physicist and passionate advocate for science education who coined the term "the God particle," died today at age 96. His death was announced by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, where he was director from 1978 to 1989.
5 nov 2018 · From his mentor at Columbia, Nobel-prizewinning physicist Isidor Isaac Rabi, Lederman learnt to distinguish observation (a hint of something new) from measurement (a more precise endeavour).
