Max Planck's birthday today is a good time to repost Henk Kubbinga's EuroPhysicsNews tribute to Max Planck describing how understanding blackbody radiation was linked to the practical question of lighting Berlin! QM has been practical since its origins! europhysicsnews.org/articles/epn/p…

Just heard of the passing on 21/4 of quantum-nano-polariton pioneer Vladimir M Agranovich aged 95. He received many accolades incl. Humboldt, Kapitsa & Mandelstam Awards, Fellow Institute of Physics Fellow American Physical Society . Photos from 75th birthday are here: dtrends.com/Photo/nanotech…

Max Planck was born #OnThisDay #OTD . He discovered quanta of energy - the foundation of quantum physics. His work was on the energy of light, whose quanta are now known as photons. We count them every day in our lab!🤩
