  Harvard Physics Faculty: Roy Glauber
Roy Glauber's recent research has dealt with problems in a number of areas of quantum optics, a field which, broadly speaking, studies the quantum electrodynamical interactions of light and matter.

 Glauber A Short Book of Dialogues
Although historians often portray Glauber as a proto-scientific chemist (he is credited with the identification of Glauber's Salt now known as Sodium Sulphate), Glauber worked extensively with alchemical ideas as well as developing laboratory techniques for distillation and control of furnaces.

  Glauber's Salt - LoveToKnow 1911
Its maximum solubility in water is at 34 0; above that temperature it ceases to exist in the solution as a decahydrate, but changes to the anhydrous salt, the solubility of which decreases with rise of temperature.
Glauber's salt readily forms supersaturated solutions, in which crystallization takes place suddenly when a crystal of the salt is thrown in; the same effect is obtained by exposure to the air or by touching the solution with a glass rod.
In medicine it is employed as an aperient, and is one of the safest and most innocuous known.

 3Continents - Glauber Rocha
I was a first-hand witness of this in 1969 in Venice, in the 1970s in Rome where he used to live with French film-maker and actress Juliet Berto, and especially in February 1981, six months before he died, in Sintra, Portugal where, as a sick man, he was trying to rest.
A film-maker, Glauber has also been a myth for a long time now: many people know his name but have never seen a film of his.
Incidentally, part of Glauber's work was contemporary with Free Jazz, as a cinema of true violence, inner and outer violence, a cinema of tearing apart, a cinema of fulguration.

 Harvard physicist, 80, earns Nobel - The Boston Globe
Four decades after his research launched a whole new branch of physics, Harvard University professor Roy J. Glauber was named a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize yesterday for insights into the strange behavior of light that laid the groundwork for high precision instruments from lasers to global positioning systems.
Glauber's observations about the behavior of light expanded on work done by Albert Einstein, whose portrait hangs in his office in the Lyman building on the Harvard campus.
Glauber's theory closed these gaps, uncovering the statistics that underlie light's behavior and also opening up new areas of inquiry, such as suggesting new ways that laser light could be used.

 Peter Steinberg: Glauber
Most amazing, of course, was the award of the 2005 Nobel Prizes in Physics, which I heard about first on NPR at 8:30 am yesterday morning.
Glauber has a long-running connection with heavy ion physics, having convinced us in the late 50's that it was OK to treat the nasty, quantum mechanical system of nucleons that makes up a nucleus as, well, a bag of baseballs -- provided the energies were high enough.
Now the best part is that Glauber himself remained unaware that we invoked his name and ideas about 10 times a day, per person, for 20 years.
