On October 5 and 6, Dartmouth’s “Pressure of Light Symposium” will recognize the groundbreaking achievement of Nichols and Hull and celebrate the designation of the Wilder Physical Laboratory as an American Physical Society Historic Site.

The symposium, adds the Union Leader, includes lectures from renowned scientists, including Bill Phillips, the winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics.
