Gerard Meijer
Gerardus Johannes Maria Meijer (born 1962 in Zeddam), more often Gerard J. M. Meijer is a Dutch physicist who has made significant contributions in the field of molecular physics, with a particular focus on laser-based spectroscopic detection techniques and cold molecules. His group invented the technique of Stark deceleration using the Stark effect for controlled generation of cold molecules. Education and career Meijer was born in Zeddam and attended high school in Doetinchem. He studied physics at Radboud University in Nijmegen from 1980, receiving his diploma in 1985 and his Ph.D. in Physics from the same university in 1988 under the supervision of Antoni Dymanus and Peter Andresen. After completing his Ph.D., Meijer spent a year as a post-doc at the IBM Research Center in San Jose, California, where he worked in the group of Mattanjah de Vries on laser desorption mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy, as well as fullerene. He then returned to Radboud University as a Un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zeddam
Zeddam is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Montferland, about 7 km south of Doetinchem. Zeddam was a separate municipality until 1821, when it was merged with Bergh. History Zeddam was first mentioned between 1139 and 1148 as Sydehem. The etymology is unclear. Zeddam is located on the flank of the Paasberg along the road from 's-Heerenberg to Doetinchem. It used to belong to the Lord of Bergh. The St. Oswaldus Church has a tower from around 1500 with a 14th century base. The church dates from 1891. Castle Montferland was a castle from the 9th century. The castle Uplade which was destroyed in 1066 may reference the same castle. It was demolished in 1527. In 1699, it was replaced by an estate which nowadays serves as a restaurant. In 1840, it was home to 458 people. The Grafelijke Korenmolen is a tower mill that was first mentioned in 1451.

1962 Births
Year 196 ( CXCVI) was a leap year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Dexter and Messalla (or, less frequently, year 949 ''Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 196 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Chemical Physicists
A chemical substance is a form of matter having constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. Some references add that chemical substance cannot be separated into its constituent Chemical element, elements by physical separation methods, i.e., without breaking chemical bonds. Chemical substances can be simple substances (substances consisting of a single chemical element), chemical compounds, or alloys. Chemical substances are often called 'pure' to set them apart from mixtures. A common example of a chemical substance is pure Water (molecule), water; it has the same properties and the same atomic ratio, ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it is isolated from a river or made in a laboratory. Other chemical substances commonly encountered in pure form are diamond (carbon), gold, Edible salt, table salt (sodium chloride) and refined sugar (sucrose). However, in practice, no substance is entirely pure, and chemical purity is specified according to the intended use of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Academic Staff Of Radboud University Nijmegen
An academy ( Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the accumulation, d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
