Beskrivelse Niels Bohr, James Franck, Albert Einstein and Isidor Rabi at Princeton University.
Bemærkning James Franck (1882-1964) was a German physicist and winner of the 1925 Nobel Prize for Physics. He emigrated to USA in 1936. During the Manhattan Project, Franck served as Director of the Chemistry Division of the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory. He also served as chairman of the Committee on Political and Social Problems regarding the atomic bomb. The product of this committee was the Franck Report, released June 11, 1945, which recommended an open demonstration of the atomic bomb’s power in an uninhabited locality rather than dropping the bomb on Japanese cities. Franck worked the institute in Copenhagen between 1920 and 1921 and again 1934 and 1935. Albert Einstein, (born March 14, 1879, Ulm, Württemberg, Germany—died April 18, 1955, Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.), German-born physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. Einstein is generally considered one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century. Isidor Isaac Rabi (1898 -1988) was an American physicist. He received a B.S. in chemistry from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University, where he researched the magnetic properties of crystals. He went on to spend two years in Europe, where he researched with scientists including Arnold Sommerfeld, Niels Bohr, Wolfgang Pauli, Otto Stern, and Werner Heisenberg. Rabi returned to the United States to become a professor at Columbia University. During World War II, Rabi worked as Associate Director of the Radiation Laboratory at MIT where he researched radar. Having rejected J. Robert Oppenheimer’s offer to make him deputy director of the Manhattan Project, Rabi agreed to serve as a consultant for the project and made occasional trips to work at Los Alamos. He was present for the Trinity Test on July 16, 1945. Rabi received the 1944 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his resonance method for recording the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei." After the war, Rabi returned to Columbia where he became the executive officer of the Physics Department.
