There are few moments in science in which you genuinely are excited. The discovery of superfluidity in helium-3 was one of those moments.

Bose and Einstein had triggered low-temperature experiments that have led to the discovery of new matter. I owe my work and my Nobel to them.

The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself.

Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.

I realized immediately that this was a terribly important discovery, but I didn't realize how important it would be until we had spent a lot of time in the laboratory studying it.

I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people.

Modern low temperature physics began with the liquefaction of helium by Kamerlingh Onnes and the discovery of superconductivity at the University of Leiden in the early part of the 20th century.

This discovery convinced me of the power of crystallography and led me to continue in this field.

We were making the first step out of the age of chemistry and physics, and into the age of biology.

We can make science personal, like a love story or your best friend.
