Migliori’s Mysteriesby Kathy Chambers 12 Jan, 2017 in Image credit: Los Alamos National Laboratory Condensed matter physicist Albert Migliori has been solving scientific mysteries for national security throughout his career. Migliori is a Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) fellow, the Director of the Seaborg Institute for Actinide Science, and a member of the Science Advisory Council at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. He is best known for leading development of a technique called resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS), a powerful tool that uses acoustic tones to determine important measurements in condensed matter physics, including superconductivity. Migliori recently wrote about his love of physics and fascinating career in an “In Their Own Words” column in LANL’s 1663 magazine. Migliori grew up in the 1950s on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, where he learned to rewire lamps and fix everything as a young child. He became interested in physics at a science magnet high school in New York City and received his B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University and his M.S. and...
