Biographical
I was born in Camberwell, South London, on the 26th of March, 1938. I am told I only made it into the world on the date in question by seven minutes, thereby exhibiting at this early stage the tendency to procrastination which I fear has characterized much of my subsequent career. Not a great deal…

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2003 Vitaly L. Ginzburg P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute, Moscow, Russia Together with his colleague Lev Landau, Vitaly Ginzburg developed a phenomenological theory of superconductivity in the late 1940s. This theory proposes that those electrons that contribute to superconduction form a superfluid. The superconductor…

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2003 Two types of superconductors Type-I superconductors are characterised by a total so-called Meissner effect. This means that the superconductor completely expels a magnetic field. If the magnetic field becomes too strong, the superconductive property disappears abruptly. But there are other superconductors, often alloys,…
