||Carson Dunning Jeffries (b. March 22, 1922) was an American physicist. The National Academies Press said that Jeffries "made major fundamental contributions to knowledge of nuclear magnetism, electronic spin relaxation, dynamic nuclear polarization, electron-hole droplets, nonlinear dynamics and chaos, and high-temperature superconductors." He was noted for being the first to observe the isotropic spin-spin exchange interaction in metals (also known as the Ruderman-Kittel interaction). He also discovered methods for the dynamic nuclear polarization by saturation of forbidden microwave resonance transitions in solids. He also discovered the existence of giant electron-hole droplets in semiconductors. | ||Carson Dunning Jeffries (b. March 22, 1922) was an American physicist.

1868: Physicist Robert Andrews Millikan born. He will win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1923 for the measurement of the elementary electronic charge and for his work on the photoelectric effect.
1869: Aquatic cryptid and alleged supervillain Neptune Slaughter steals Thomson tide calculator for personal use; Steampunks outraged.
1909: Physicist Nathan Rosen born. He will develop the idea of the Einstein–Rosen bridge, later named the wormhole.
1929: Art critic and alleged supervillain The Eel attends birthday party for Nathan Rosen. They will later collaborate on ideas which will lead The Eel to construct a portable wormhole generator.
1948: Computer programmer and crime-fighter Jean Bartik uses the ENIAC computer to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
