Quantum mechanics – the grandiose theory that describes nature down to the submicroscopic level – was first formulated in Göttingen in 1925. How did this come about and why is it that Göttingen became the pre-eminent location for a revolution in physics? This book is the first to investigate the wide range of factors that were pivotal for quantum physics to be established in Göttingen. These include the process of generational change of physics professors, the hopes of mathematicians seeking new fields of research, and a new understanding of the interplay of experiment, theory and philosophy.The other books in the four-volume collection address the beginnings of quantum physics research at Copenhagen, Berlin, and Munich. These works emerged from an expansive study on the quantum revolution as a major transformation of physical knowledge undertaken by the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and the Fritz Haber Institute (2006–2012).Formore on this project, see the dedicated Feature Story, The Networks of Early Quantum Theory, at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/feature-story/networks-early-quantum-theory.
Philipp Lenard: Erinnerungen eines Naturforschers
Kritische annotierte Ausgabe des Originaltyposkriptes von 1931/1943

Die Edition gibt anhand größtenteils unbekannter Originalquellen ein kritisches Bild des zweiten deutschen Nobelpreisträgers für Physik. Dazu werden die detailreichen Schilderungen, die Philipp Lenard zu seinem Lebensweg, aber auch zu den Physikern und den Laboratorien seiner Zeit gegeben hat, mit Quellen anderer Wissenschaftler und seinen eigenen Tagebuchaufzeichnungen konfrontiert und hinterfragt. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein differenziertes Bild nicht nur einer komplexen Wissenschaftlerpersönlichkeit sondern zugleich auch von den zahlreichen Problemen und Auseinandersetzungen der Physik im deutschen Kaiserreich und der Weimarer Republik. Jedem an der Physik Interessierten werden die Zusammenhänge von physikalischen Entdeckungen und persönlichen Charakteren, von Laboratoriumsausstattungen und wissenschaftstheoretischen Vorstellungen innerhalb politischer und persönlicher Auseinandersetzungen eine faszinierende Lektüre bereiten.
Architectures of Science
The Berlin Universities and Their Development in Urban Space
Häftad, Engelska, 2020

Tillfälligt slut
In Berlin, science, architecture, and the city are interwoven in a unique way: what was originally a single palace in the historic centre gradually developed to become a comprehensive academic landscape, in which three large universities today shape the city.Taking multiple perspectives onboard, this architectural guide asks how the growth of Berlin as a metropolis has been linked to the development of science and how its various disciplines have been able to realise their demands for buildings to carry out research and teaching and to hold scientific collections. In five chapters, the authors guide readers through various locations in Mitte, Charlottenburg, Dahlem, Adlershof, and Buch and show how questions about the representation and functionality of buildings, their conversion, or even their relocation to the outskirts of the city were reconciled with the expansion of infrastructure and contemporary ideas about urban planning.The book's critical and detailed look at the architectures of science, the genesis of which it traces over more than two centuries, sheds new light on Berlin's university landscape. At the same time, it allows readers to rediscover the political and social zeitgeist in the buildings of science.In cooperation with Gabriele Metzler (concept) and Konrad Angermüller (design) and with additional contributions by Nils Exner and Sascha Morawe.
