OTRS received an email from Dr. Ben-Abraham at the Department of Physics at Ben-Gurion University [1] that I am posting here per his request.


His contact information is at the link above.--Chaser (talk) 01:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Location in 198x

edit

The NPR article says he was at NIST in 1982, but his biography (http://materials.technion.ac.il/st/) says he was at Johns Hopkins at that time and at NIST a decade later. Zeev.tarantov (talk) 14:33, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Aerospace Research Laboratories??

edit

In the lead paragraph, it says "Prof. Shechtman was an NRC fellow at the Aerospace Research Laboratories at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio,... I can't find any other references to this lab. There is an Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson AFB (see related wikipedia article) 17:51, 5 October 2011 (UTC) ontomeister

The current organizational chart of the AFRL is from 1997. Before that, there existed the Wright Laboratory, part of which was the "Material Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH". That sounds exactly like the kind of place where a materials science post doc would study high-tech aluminum alloys. The current organization has the "Materials and Manufacturing Directorate" which continues that work. Zeev.tarantov (talk) 12:26, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Interesting photo should be on here for historical value: Schechtman's notebook (credit Iowa State?)

edit

See photo of his notebook at:

Where is the early life section?

edit

No mention about where he obtained his degrees -the story start with him after completing the PhD..--Gilisa (talk) 20:09, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Class=C, Chemistry template

edit

I have upgraded this article to class=C, and added the Chemistry template, since he won the Nobel in Chemistry, not Physics. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:05, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations . . . .

edit

My heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Shechtman, and after reading his personal info on him and his distinguished family, I was wondering what the conversation must be like at the family dinner table? :-) Ineuw talk page on English Wikisource 22:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Plagiarism?

edit

The quasi crystal section borrows quite liberally from the 14th cited source at the time of this writing.

edit

The links to references #2, #7, #8 are broken, and the ninth reference just goes to the main page of the website it links to. Could someone please change them (I'll try to find some references, of course)? Thanks! NeutralWikipedia 01:18, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
