Join Our Mailing List WOLF PRIZE IN MATHEMATICS Volume 1 edited by S S Chern (University of California, Berkeley) The Wolf Prize, awarded by the Wolf Foundation in Israel, often goes to mathematicians who are in their sixties or older. That is to say, the Prize honours the achievements of a lifetime. This invaluable book features bibliographies, important papers, and speeches (for example at international congresses) of Wolf Prize winners, such as L Ahlfors, H Cartan, L Carleson, S S Chern, E de Giorgi, S Eilenberg, P Erdös, F Hirzebruch, L Hörmander, K Itô, J B Keller, K Kodaira, R Langlands and J Leray. This is the first time that lectures by some Wolf Prize winners have been published together. Since the work of the Wolf laureates covers a wide spectrum, much of the mathematics of the twentieth century comes to life in this book. Readership: Mathematicians. Pub. date: Sept 2000

Brookhaven Lab Chemist Shares The 2000 Wolf Prize In Physics With University Of Davis Jr., whose career as a chemist spans 52 years at the US Department of Energy sBrookhaven National Laboratory, will share the 2000 wolf prize in Physics http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2000-02/BNL-BLcs-0302100.php

Public release date: 3-Feb-2000 Contact: Diane Greenberg greenb@bnl.gov DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory Brookhaven Lab chemist shares the 2000 Wolf Prize in Physics with University of Tokyo scientist for research on neutrinos UPTON, NY — Raymond Davis Jr., whose career as a chemist spans 52 years at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, will share the 2000 Wolf Prize in Physics with Masatoshi Koshiba, University of Tokyo, Japan. The Wolf Foundation has recognized the scientists "for their pioneering observations of astronomical phenomena by detection of neutrinos, which created the emerging field of neutrino astronomy." The $100,000 prize, to be shared by the two scientists, will be conferred by the President of Israel, Ezer Weizman, at a special ceremony in Jerusalem on May 21. Davis was notified that he won the Wolf Prize while he was in Russia to receive the 1999 Bruno Pontecorvo Prize. Issued by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, the $1,000 Pontecorvo Prize was awarded to Davis "for the outstanding achievement in development of the chlorine-argon method for detection of solar neutrinos." This method was invented by Pontecorvo and Davis further developed it. "I have been interested in studying neutrinos since 1948, when I first read about them in a review article by H.R. Crane, a physicist at the University of Michigan," Davis said. "Back then, it was a brand new field of study. It has captivated me for more than half a century."

Organic Chemist Peter Schultz wins Wolf Prize in Chemistry January 13, 1994 By Diane LaMacchia, DMLaMacchia@LBL.gov LBL organic chemist Peter Schultz has been named co-winner of the prestigious Wolf Prize in Chemistry for 1994/95. Schultz, 38, is a principal investigator in both the Materials Sciences and Structural Biology divisions and a professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley. Schultz will share the $100,000 prize with Richard Lerner of the Scripps Institute. Both men are being honored for their separate work in converting antibodies into enzymes. This work, says the Wolf Foundation, "may potentially revolutionize the process of obtaining new chemical products in the laboratory and by industry." Schultz is widely recognized for his contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms of molecular recognition and catalysis in biological systems. One example of this work is the design of highly efficient "catalytic antibodies" that are able to cut, splice, and modify biological molecules at specific points. Schultz has also developed a new technique for studying proteins in which unnatural amino acids can be inserted site-specifically into proteins. In the last year, he and his coworkers have expanded the genetic code to include more than 80 unnatural amino acids being substituted into proteins so that their catalytic and binding properties and stability can be studied.

Harry Gray wins Wolf Prize Electron-transfer reactions are ubiquitous in the chemistry of biological systems. They are fundamental processes that, among other functions, are responsible for the generation of energy in a cell. Gray studies the tiny bits of inorganic material in living molecules, such as iron or copper, which, within proteins, have long been known to transfer electrons. But conventional wisdom held that in order for such exchanges to take place, the molecules had to be physically close enough to interact. The puzzle was how the few metal atoms in proteins, surrounded by thousands of other atoms, could maneuver close enough for the exchange. Further, in biological systems the timing always has to be perfect in order to allow for such things as breaking down food and generating energy, conducting photosynthesis, or fixing nitrogen.

ISRAEL'S TOP ONLINE NEWS SOURCE Monday, June 29, 1998 5 Tammuz 5758 ISRAEL TIME: ISRAEL TIME: Wolf Prize intellects shine at the Laromme By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH (May 25) - Jerusalem's Laromme Hotel was so thick with geniuses recently that you could almost cut the IQs with a knife. It was the venue for a conference honoring 40 out of the 172 people from 18 countries who have won Wolf Prizes during the last 20 years. The late Ricardo (Richard) Wolf would undoubtedly have been thrilled had he been able to attend the unusual conference. Born in Germany in 1887, he later moved to Cuba, and was named by Fidel Castro in 1961 as that country's ambassador to Israel. A self-made millionaire industrialist, Wolf remained in his diplomatic post until 1973, when, in the wake of the Yom Kippur War, Castro cut off diplomatic relations with Israel. Wolf, a good Jew, decided to remain in Israel, and lived here until the end of his life. Since 1978, Wolf Prizes worth $100,000 have been awarded each year to scientists and artists for their contribution to mankind and friendship among nations. The prizes are awarded specifically in the fields of agriculture, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, physics and art (rotating with music, drawing, sculpture and architecture). The award has become identified as a purely Israeli prize, handed out amid pomp and ceremony in the Knesset's Chagall Hall by the president. The private Wolf Foundation also grants scholarships to students in institutions of higher learning. Highly prestigious and known around the world, the Wolf Prize is often the precursor to a Nobel Prize.

Katsav, who added that missions to space like the one in which a rich man paid $20 million to be the first tourist on a shuttle show "improper priorities. Disease, poverty, ecological disasters, the spread of nuclear weapons," he said, must be solved first. Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg noted at the ceremony in the Knesset's Chagall Hall that the Wolf Prize winners have contributed "horizontally" to greater understanding of science and the arts among their colleagues, and "vertically" by adding to the achievements of the 184 previous Wolf Prize laureates before them.

Anthony J. Leggett John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor and Center for Advanced Study Professor of Physics Winner of the 2002/03 Wolf Prize in Physics The Wolf Foundation announced on January 13, 2003, that Anthony J. Leggett and Bertrand I. Halperin will share the 2002/03 Physics Prize for research on condensed forms of matter. Professor Leggett was cited for achievements in "superfluidity of the light helium isotope at very low temperatures, for his exploration of macroscopic quantum coherence, and for his contribution to the study of dissipation processes in quantum systems that cannot be ignored in practical applications." Both scientists were recognized for their "seminal contributions to the broad range of structures and processes in condensed forms of matter. They have provided a better understanding of the macroscopic properties of materials, which rely on non-intuitive quantum effects and interactions that determine the properties of different states of matter and transitions between them. The theoretical work of both recipients has always been accompanied by experimentation and has had a significant impact on understanding numerous physical phenomena," the Wolf Jury announced.
