The Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1961
Robert Hofstadter
Rudolf Ludwig Mössbauer
Robert Hofstadter
Born: 5 February 1915, New York, NY, USA
Died: 17 November 1990, Stanford, CA, USA
Affiliation at the time of the award: Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA
Prize motivation: "for his pioneering studies of electron scattering in atomic nuclei and for his thereby achieved discoveries concerning the structure of the nucleons."
Prize share: 1/2
Work
Matter is composed of atoms with small nuclei surrounded by electrons. Robert Hofstadter developed apparatus for studying nuclei's internal structure. A high-energy electron beam from an accelerator was directed towards nuclei and by examining the scattering of the electrons, he could investigate how charges were distributed. He could also investigate how the magnetic moment within the nuclei's protons and neutrons was distributed. Nuclei were thereby proven not to be homogeneous, but to have internal structures.

Dr. Robert Hofstadter Dies at 75; Won Nobel Prize in Physics in '61
By PETER B. FLINT
Dr. Robert Hofstadter, a Nobel laureate in physics in 1961 for pioneering research into the heart of the nuclear particles that form the basic building blocks of the universe, died Saturday at his home in Stanford, Calif. He was 75 years old.
He died of a heart attack, a family representative said.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Science honored the professor for research that led to the precise determination of the size and shape of the proton and the neutron, the minute fundamental particles that constitute the nuclei of atoms.
The academy also hailed him for helping to provide the first "reasonably consistent" picture of the structure of the atomic nucleus, which contains more than 99 percent of the matter and energy of the universe.
Dr. Hofstadter had taught at Stanford University from 1950 to 1985, when he retired as the Max H. Stein Professor Emeritus of Physics. He was director of Stanford's High Energy Physics Laboratory from 1967 to 1974. Gamma Rays and the Heart
The professor's unassuming, easygoing manner disguised a profound commitment to basic research. In retirement, he became increasingly interested in astronomy and contributed to construction of a gamma ray observatory that, after many postponements, is scheduled to be sent aloft in a space shuttle next spring.
In recent years, Dr. Hofstadter also conducted research in coronary angiography, a technique to explore heart functions with radioactive substances as a benign alternative to catheters.
Robert Hofstadter was born in Manhattan on Feb. 5, 1915, to Louis Hofstadter, a salesman, and the former Henrietta Koenigsberg. He attended public schools and City College of New York, where he won the Kenyon Prize in physics and mathematics, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. degree in 1935.
On fellowships, he earned master's and doctorate degrees in physics at Princeton and taught there and at City College. In World War II, he was a physicist at the National Bureau of Standards, where he helped develop the proximity fuse, a major anti-aircraft weapon that detonated a shell when it detected approaching objects by radar. Measuring the Unseen
After the war, Dr. Hofstadter taught at Princeton for four more years until he joined the Stanford faculty and plunged into research into the composition of the universe. In exhaustive steps over a decade, he and associates determined that the neutron and the proton have an average radius of 24 to 32 quadrillionths of an inch.
They then directed a beam of electrons from a 220-foot linear accelerator and speeded them to energies of one billion electron volts at various nuclear targets. By studying the deflections of the electrons as they bounded off the targets, they obtained what they termed a consistent picture of the nuclei's structure.
Among the professor's honors were a Townsend Harris medal from City College in 1961, the creation of the Robert Hofstadter Physics Laboratory at Brandeis University in 1968 and many fellowships and honorary degrees.
A version of this obituary appears in print on November 19, 1990, on Page D00011 of the National edition with the headline: Dr. Robert Hofstadter Dies at 75; Won Nobel Prize in Physics in '61.

Lord Kril: Fire the meteor gun!
Xur: MY *DEAR* KODAN FRIENDS... Lest we forget, it was your own Emperor who charged me with command of this armada... For only *I* hold the secret to the Frontier... Just as only *I* know the location of the Starfighter base... And therefore, ONLY *I* WILL GIVE THE ORDER TO FIRE!
Lord Kril: [bows his head] Forgive me, Xur.
Xur: You are forgiven, Commander Kril. Meteor gunner... fire!

Public Acts of the Third Congress, 1st Session, Chapter 12
The Act to Provide a Naval Armament (1 Stat. 350, also known as the Naval Act) was passed by the United States Congress on March 27, 1794 and established the first naval force, which eventually became the United States Navy.

Original six frigates of the United States Navy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Congress authorized the original six frigates of the United States Navy with the Naval Act of 1794 on March 27, 1794, at a total cost of $688,888.82. These ships were built during the formative years of the United States Navy, on the recommendation of designer Joshua Humphreys for a fleet of frigates powerful enough to engage any frigates of the French or British navies yet fast enough to evade any ship of the line.

U.S. Navy
Without armed ships or the protection of Great Britain, North African pirates frequently victimized American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea during this time. In order to safely explore new markets in which to conduct trade, Congress reestablished a national navy authorizing the construction of six new vessels on March 27, 1794. The congressional act stipulated that construction would cease if peace with Algiers was achieved. An agreement was reached early in 1796, prior to the ships' completion, yet Congress approved the finishing of three frigates. The USS United States, the USS Constellation and the USS Constitution were launched in 1797.

SPOCK: I made an error in my computations.
MCCOY: Oh? This could be an historic occasion.
SPOCK: I find that we must return Captain Christopher to Earth after all.
CHRISTOPHER: Why? You said I made no relative contribution.
SPOCK: Poor choice of words on my part. I neglected, in my initial run-through, to correlate the possible contributions by offspring. I find, after running a crosscheck on that factor, that your son Colonel Shaun Geoffrey Christopher headed, or will head, the first successful Earth-Saturn probe, which is a rather significant
