I spoke to soon! This one might be the best!!

I want this stamp!

Three scientists who created the technology behind digital photography and helped link the world through fiber-optic networks shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday. Charles K. Kao was cited for his breakthrough involving the transmission of light in fiber optics while Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith were honored for inventing an imaging semiconductor circuit known as the CCD sensor.

Lets try that again… Ahhh, Physics Humor!

Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.

I made the CCNY Physics home page (bottom left) for my paper on optical Airy beams being cited as one of the best optics papers of 2008.

Ha!

As I am a physicist in the field of Optics, this is obviousy up my alley… a laser harp! cool!

Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking.

In Vienna right now for a conference.

Had some schnitzel, bratwurst, beer, strudel… and my hear has not stopped yet!

Today I get a lab tour of a photonics lab, tomorrow is free for exploration, and then I return to the States.  Photos to come…

And I’m off! (in a few hours)

Leaving for Vienna today for a conference where I am presenting a poster on Airy beams.  No, they are not full of air!  They are laser beams that actually travel along a curved path!  Usually lasers follow a straight path. Not these guys…

Anyway, Vienna should be interesting. Never been.  I hear they have good schnitzel!

I just can’t seem to get into a work groove today… I saw this a while ago but it just popped up in the news today… a cough cought on camera.
