The National Academy of Sciences recognized Michel Devoret and Robert Schoelkopf for their innovative work in quantum information processing.
In 1949 physicist Chien-Shiung Wu devised an experiment that documented evidence of entanglement. Her findings have been hidden in plain sight for more than 70 years
She never won a Nobel prize. But today this pioneering physicist is getting her face on a stamp Chien-Shiung Wu isn’t a household name, but the pioneering physicist’s portrait could be coming soon to a mailbox near you. And the timing is no coincidence. Jada Yuan, Wu’s granddaughter, says issuing the stamp that day sends a powerful message. “She believed in women and girls being in science, and achieving in any field that they put their minds to,” Yuan says. “And I think it means a lot that because she’s on a stamp, people will learn her story.”
