nov 1, 1977 - Pyotr Kapitsa observes
new phenomena in hot
deuterium plasmas excited
by very high power
microwaves in attempts
to obtain controlled
thermonuclear fusion
reactions in such plasmas
placed in longitudinal
magnetic fields, using
a novel and low-cost
design of thermonuclear
reactor, similar in concept
to that reported by
Theodor V. Ionescu et al.
in 1969. Receives a Nobel prize
for early low temperature
physics experiments
on helium superfluidity
carried out in 1937
at the Cavendish
Lab
