| Personal Fact of Charles H Townes | |
|
Charles Hard Townes was an American physicist and inventor. He was jointly awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the theory and application of the maser and other research in quantum electronics linked with maser devices. This is one of the most crucial discoveries in modern experimental research and was later instrumental in the development of laser. During the World War II he worked extensively on radar bombing and systems design, and also carried out some initial research in radio astronomy. It was after the war that Townes made his most important contributions in the improvement of high-resolution spectroscopy of gasses in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. He was part of a team that first discovered complex molecules in space and ascertained the mass of the black hole at the Milky Way galaxy. Apart from science, he was also interested in natural history. He as recipient of a number of awards such as the Richtmyer Memorial Award, Stuart Ballantine Medal, Wilhelm Exner Medal, SPIE Gold Medal and the Golden Goose Award. Charles Hard Townes was a deeply religious man and a member of the United Church of Christ. His curiosity and strong optimism based on Christian spiritual doctrines provided him the strength to carry out some of the significant experimental work in Physics. |
