The Nobel Prize in Physics 1973 was divided, one half jointly to Leo Esaki and Ivar Giaever "for their experimental discoveries regarding tunneling phenomena in semiconductors and superconductors, respectively" and the other half to Brian David Josephson "for his theoretical predictions of the properties of a supercurrent through a tunnel ...
Giaever left GEC in 1988 to become both an institute professor at Rensselaer and a professor at the University of Oslo, Norway. His later work involves studying the motion of mammalian cells in tissue culture by growing both normal and cancerous cells on small electrodes.
