Bob Richardson
Robert Coleman Richardson was an American experimental physicist and university teacher born on June 26, 1937, in Washington, D.C.
Richardson attended Washington-Liberty High School before going on to study at Virginia Tech and Duke University. He worked at the Cornell University Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics, where he conducted research on sub-millikelvin temperature studies of helium-3. Earlier in life, he had earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
In 1972, Richardson, together with David Lee and Douglas Osheroff, discovered superfluidity in helium-3. The three shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics for that discovery. Richardson received additional recognition through the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize, the Simon Memorial Prize, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He was also elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Richardson died on February 19, 2013, in Ithaca. His work as an experimental physicist was defined by his focus on helium-3, encompassing both the 1972 discovery of its superfluid properties and his ongoing sub-millikelvin temperature investigations of the isotope.
