Three Scientists Share Physics Prize...

By MATTI HUUHTANEN .c The Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Oct. 9) -
Two Americans and a German-born scientist
shared the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday
for research in the atomic properties of ultra-cold gases.

... and German-born Wolfgang Ketterle, 43,
of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
will share the $943,000 prize.

Their joint discovery of the Bose-Einstein condensate,
a new state of matter, is ''going to bring revolutionary applications
in such fields as precision measurement and nanotechnology,''
according to the citation by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

The research will help scientists use motionless atoms
to measure the fundamental properties of matter.

''Revolutionary applications of (Bose-Einstein condensates)
in lithography, nanotechnology and holography appear to be
just round the corner,'' the citation said.
