Terahertz Pioneer: Federico Capasso - "Physics by Design: Engineering Our Way Out of the THz Gap"

Abstract

Federico Capasso credits his father, an economist and business man, for nourishing his early interest in science, and his mother for making sure he stuck it out, despite some tough moments. However, he confesses his real attraction to science came from a well read children's book—Our Friend the Atom [1], which he received at the age of 7, and recalls fondly to this day. I read it myself, but it did not do me nearly as much good as it seems to have done for Federico!
