Nobel Prize Physics in Everyday application

BMETE11AX14

The amazing and explosive development of technology is our everyday experience in various fields of life from informatics and medicine. It is less well known how this development is supported by scientific research. As an example a notebook computer applies numerous Nobel Prize awarded ideas, like the integrated circuits (2000), semiconducting laser (2000), liquid crystal display (1991), CCD camera (2009), GMR sensor of the hard disk (2007) and several further achievements from earlier days of quantum mechanics and solid state physics. The course is intended to give insight to a range of amazing everyday applications that are related to various Nobel Prizes with a special focus on recent achievements. The topics below are reviewed at a simplified level building on high school knowledge of physics.
