Kusch Polykarp Biography
German author, teacher and physicist, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1955 for his determination of the magnetic movement of the electron. He worked at the Radiation Lab of National Defense and for Bell Telephone labs, becoming a physics professor at Columbia in 1946, where he introduced the physics course. Kusch was the son of a Lutheran missionary who emigrated to the U.S., where he was educated. He received a Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, then taught for a few years along with military service in WW II. He wrote many science papers and was noted for his contributions to the knowledge of the atom. Died 3/20/1993, after a series of strokes at his home in Dallas. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less

Kusch Polykarp was a German physicist who won the 1955 Nobel Prize in Physics with Willis Eugene Lamb for their discoveries concerning the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum. Kusch was born in Blankenburg, Germany, and studied at the University of G�ttingen. He began his research career at the University of Berlin, where he worked on X-rays and atomic spectroscopy. In 1937, he moved to the United States, and he became a professor at Columbia University in New York City. Kusch's research focused on the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei, and he was the first to observe the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance. He also developed techniques for measuring atomic masses and nuclear spins. Kusch's work had a significant impact on the development of nuclear physics and chemistry.
