Earthtimes.org : French winner of the Nobel Prize for physics Pierre- Gilles de Gennes has died at the age of 74, his family said Tuesday in Paris. The scientist and engineer passed away on Friday. He was awarded science’s most distinguished prize in 1991 for his work on the behaviour of molecules and molecular chains in liquid crystals.
The behavior emerges from atomic-scale rearrangements of nonperiodic ordered structures, according to real-time observations and molecular dynamics simulations.
