	Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck
		Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (April 23, 1858 – October 4, 1947) was one of the most important German physicists of the late 19th and early 20th century; he is considered to be the inventor of quantum theory.
		Max Planck was born in Kiel on April 23, 1858 to Johann Julius Wilhelm Planck and his second wife, Emma Patzig.
		In 1938, Planck celebrated his 80th birthday; the DPG held an official celebration, during which the Max-Planck medal (founded as the highest medal by the DPG in 1928) was awarded to French physicist Louis de Broglie - one year before the outbreak of a new war between France and Germany.

	Max Planck Summary
		Planck's tenure at Münich was interrupted by illness in 1875.
		Planck's suggestion was that the heat energy radiated by a fl body be thought of as a stream of "energy bundles," the magnitude of which is a function of the wavelength of the radiation.
		Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (April 23, 1858 – October 4, 1947) was one of the most important German physicists of the late 19th and early 20th century; he is considered to be the founder of quantum theory.

	ICMRBS FOUNDERS MEDAL
		The ICMRBS Founders Medal, awarded for the first time at the 20th ICMRBS in Toronto, Canada in 2002, is given to a scientist under 41 years of age who has made exceptional contributions to developments and/or progress in the area of magnetic resonance in biological systems.
		The Founders Medal was struck to honor the three founders of the conference series, which began in 1964: Mildred Cohn (University of Pennsylvania), Oleg Jardetzky (Stanford University), and Robert G. Shulman (Yale University).
		He was honored, in part, for his role in developing novel NMR methods, including the measurement of residual dipolar couplings in weakly aligned molecules, which are have had a major impact on the determination of biomolecular structure.

	Werner Karl Heisenberg
		Indeterminacy principles are characteristic of quantum physics; they state the theoretical limitations imposed upon any pair of noncommuting (i.e., conjugate) variables, such as the matrix representations of position and momentum; in such cases, the measurement of one affects the measurement of the other.
		After the war he organized and became director of the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Astrophysics at Gottingen, moving with the institute, in 1958, to Munich; he was also, in 1954, the German representative for the organizing of CERN.
		Widely acknowledged as one of the seminal thinkers of the 20th century, Heisenberg was honoured with the Max Planck Medal, the Matteucci Medal, and the Barnard College Medal of Columbia University.

		He did important work in the field of nuclear and particle physics, introducing the Uncertainty Principle, which posits that the more precisely the position of a subatomic particle is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in that instant and vice versa.
		For that work, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932 and was honored with the Max Planck Medal, the Mattituck Medal, and the Barnard College Medal of Columbia University.
		After the war he organized and became director of the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Astrophysics at Göttingen.
