He found a quantum fluid where particles carry fractions of the charge they're supposed to have — a discovery that defied the rules and won him a Nobel.
Horst Ludwig Störmer was born in Germany on April 6, 1949, and became a physicist whose career led him to Bell Labs, where the work that would define him took place. In 1998, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Daniel Tsui and Robert Laughlin for discovering the fractional quantum Hall effect — a new form of quantum fluid with fractionally charged excitations. He and Tsui had conducted the experiment at Bell Labs, uncovering behavior in matter that shouldn't have been possible under existing theory. The prize established him as a major figure in condensed matter physics. He later became…
Sourced, dated quotes from Horst Ludwig Störmer
Probably in most education systems in a sense we are stuck with the disciplines as we created them last, last century and before that.
It’s the boundaries where the excitement is and where we will be in the future.
In any case, one needs to accept nature's teachings.
