Mildred Dresselhaus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2008 Physics Nobel PrizeThree Recognized for Work on  The 2008 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to three physicists whose insights help to explain fundamental properties of the basic laws of nature. Winners include APS Fellow Yoichiro Nambu (University of Chicago), who won half the prize, and Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa, both of Japan. New Industrial PrizeAPS First Industry Award The first APS Prize for Industrial Applications of Physics was launched in 2008. Sponsored by General Motors and presented biennially, the Prize is intended to recognize cutting-edge technologies, and is especially targeted at physicists working in smaller companies. The selection committee picked five finalists from sixteen preliminary nominations. From these highly qualified applicants, Philip Wyatt of Wyatt Technology Company was chosen for pioneering the commercialization of laser light scattering (LLS), a method with much practical benefit for both the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
