“It would be great if you could cool the water and immobilise the molec...” — Jacques Dubochet Quote

It would be great if you could cool the water and immobilise the molecules, though keeping the structure, because when it's frozen, when it's immobilised, you can have it in the electron microscope and the water will not evaporate because in the electron microscope, it must be under vacuum, and water at normal temperature evaporates.

Rather big part of my time is to read scientific journals and to discover what others are doing.

I hate personal competition, and so each time in my career I came in a field where it was highly competitive, I gave up.

We three have never been very good chemists but we are gratified with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Peter Principle says that everyone is promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. We are worried that we may have reached this remarkable point.

Supersymmetry is a theory which stipulates that for every known particle there should be a partner particle. For instance, the electron should be paired with a supersymmetric 'selectron,' quarks ought to have 'squark' partners, and so on.

In 1956 we observed the electron antineutrino.

We had to understand things like why the top quark was so heavy and the electron is so light. The Higgs is a big, important step.

Nevertheless, all of us who work in quantum physics believe in the reality of a quantum world, and the reality of quantum entities like protons and electrons.
