Dr. William Phillips: Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff

Dr. William Phillips, an Office of Naval Research (ONR)-funded Nobel Prize-winning physicist, delivered the final lecture at ONR´s spring distinguished lecture series May 19. Phillips´ compelling presentation, titled "Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff," highlighted the importance of basic research and ONR´s legacy of support for innovative scientists.

Dr. Phillips is a pioneer and leading researcher in laser cooling and trapping of atoms at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. His fundamental studies were used to develop applications for new kinds of physics measurements and processes such as high resolution spectroscopy, atomic clocks, atomic collisions, atom optics, bio-molecular interactions, and atomic-scale and nano-scale fabrication.
