Космическое Путешествие - a Space Journey

In memory of Deborah Jin, government physicist who won MacArthur ‘genius’ grant, dies at 47 this past September. A recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship, known as the “genius” award, Dr. Jin was a masterfully deft and accomplished experimenter. Using lasers, magnets and vacuum chambers, she trapped and probed tiny bits of matter in realms only infinitesimal fractions of a degree above absolute zero, where all motion is understood to cease. Eric Cornell, one of three scientists who shared the Nobel Prize for their work on the Bose-Einstein condensate, called Dr. Jin’s work in producing the fermionic condensate “technologically much more challenging.” RIP Ms. Jin
