Talk:John Bardeen

message: I've just learned of Dr. Bardeen's contribution to yet another topic area in physics: black holes. https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.cmp/1103858973
I think this should be added to the text. But I don't feel qualified to add the material.
The biography of John Bardeen is good. However, this biography should be improved. This biography should be one of the best biographies on Wikipedia. Masterpiece2000 08:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I question whether the image of John Bardeen is, in fact, in the public domain.
The justification says that it's a work of Fermilab (i.e. US govt agency and therefore public domain). The picture has simply been lifted from a 2003 Fermilab page: that doesn't prove they created it.
In fact, the image appears (possibly for the first time) on the 1972 Nobel Prize citation: http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1972/
I assume it was created in 1972, possibly by the Nobel Foundation. If so, it's a copyright image owned by Nobel.

message: BCS theory for superconductivity is as much important as transistor and semiconductors.
Superconductivity shouldn't be reduced to something that is used in MRI imaging.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.212.213.122 (talk) 01:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Reverted misinformation about 1st PhD student of Bardeen at UI. Perhaps the error was propagated from Holonyak's page, where "there" is ambiguous. It denotes the Dept of EE, but John Bardeen had a Physics Dept PhD student before that, namely Paul Leurgans, in 1952. The 1950s physics PhD students of him are: Leurgans (1952), Mattis (1957),  Schrieffer (1957), Millea (1958), Valenta (1958), Arnold (1959), and Portnoy (1959).

message: In the entire second paragraph of the Personal Life section, there is only a single citation to an article that doesn't seem to exist anymore. I have heard the stories about John Bardeen orally before, but am having trouble trying to locate reliable/trustworthy sources that back up the claims in the article. I found one article, but it lacks any further citations:
https://paw.princeton.edu/article/rally-round-cannon-52
"...he leaned toward golf, picnics, and cookouts for the neighbors. He loved his hamburger buns toasted, and always asked if the guests wanted them that way."
Does anybody know of where these claims came from? Monsternikes (talk) 22:52, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The archived version of that article is here:  It points towards the True Genius book. Did you already check that? Jähmefyysikko (talk) 03:57, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
