John H. Malmberg
John Holmes Malmberg (July 5, 1927 – November 1, 1992) was an American plasma physicist and a professor at the University of California, San Diego. He was known for making the first experimental measurements of Landau damping of plasma waves in 1964, as well as for his research on non-neutral plasmas and the development of the Penning–Malmberg trap. In 1985, Malmberg won the James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics for his experimental work on wave-particle interactions in neutral plasmas and his studies on pure electron plasmas. He was later co-awarded the John Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research in 1991 for his contribution to research on non-neutral plasmas. Early life and career Malmberg studied at Illinois State University (bachelor 1949) and the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (master 1951), where he received his doctorate in 1957. From 1957 to 1969, he was a staff scientist working in the area of plasma physics at General Atomi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Gettysburg (; non-locally ) is a borough and the county seat of Adams County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The Battle of Gettysburg (1863) and President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address are named for this town. Gettysburg is home to the Gettysburg National Military Park, where the Battle of Gettysburg was largely fought; the Battle of Gettysburg had the most casualties of any Civil War battle but was also considered the turning point in the war, leading to the Union's ultimate victory. As of the 2020 census, the borough had a population of 7,106 people. History Early history In 1761, Irishman Samuel Gettys settled at the Shippensburg-Baltimore and Philadelphia-Pittsburgh crossroads, in what was then western York County, and established a tavern frequented by soldiers and traders. In 1786, the borough boundary was established, with the Dobbin House tavern (established in 1776) sitting in the southwest. As early as 1790, a movement seeking to split off the western ...
