Cooper was a director of MIT's Visual Language Workshop. After completing his bachelors and masters degrees at MIT, Maeda studied in Japan at Tsukuba Univ

ized and are called phonons. Leon Cooper discov- ered that these phonons can bind pairs of electrons, as I have described above, so these are called Cooper pairs. The true magic of quantum mechanics occurs next. When mer- cury (or any of several other materials) is cooled below a certain point, a phase

e most important in modern particle physics, is, not surprisingly, called the Dirac equation. (Some years later, when Dirac first met the physicist Richard Feynman, whom we shall come to shortly, Dirac said after another awkward silence, "I have an equation. Do you?") Dirac's equation was beautiful, and as th

nergy is available from the thermal bath at low temperature. Alternatively, we might wonder if the collision could break apart two electrons from a Cooper pair in the condensate—sort of like knocking off the rearview mirror when a truck collides with a post. But at low temperatures everything is movin

tion. Still, questions remained, especially given the apparent disagree- ment with the Seattle/Oxford results. At a talk at Caltech on the subject, Richard Feynman, characteristically, homed in on a key outstanding ex- perimental question and asked whether the SLAC experimentalists had checked that the detector
