Nobel Laureate Lecture Series
Dr William Phillips, Nobel Prize Winner in Physics 1997, has delivered two addresses as part of the Nobel Laureate Lecture Series hosted by Dublin City University in association with Magnet Networks.
More than one thousand guests, including primary, second-level and DCU students as well as academic staff enjoyed Dr Phillip's afternoon presentation, Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff in the Universe, a lively, multimedia spectacle demonstrating how Einstein's thinking is shaping one of the key scientific and technological wonders of life - atomic clocks. These clocks are at the heart of the Global Positioning System (GPS) which uses atoms cooled to incredibly low temperatures to guide cars, aeroplanes and hikers to their destinations.
This presentation can now be viewed at www.aertv.ie, the online television service from Magnet Networks which can be accessed by anyone on their mobile or PC.
Reflecting DCU's commitment to academic excellence and its ethos of access to education for all, the series aims to bring to Ireland publicly accessible lectures by some of the world's brightest minds. The Series will feature an annual lecture by a Nobel Laureate specialising in one of the following categories: Physics, Chemistry, Peace, Economics, Physiology & Medicine and Literature.
