Robert C. Richardson was a Nobel laureate and Cornell physicist. His work in low-temperature physics lead to major advancements in scientific understanding of the hydrodynamics of intricately ordered systems, the microscopic theory of electrons in metals and the range of phenomena accessible to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probes. His discoveries also had implications for phenomena in astrophysics, from galaxy formation to the composition and nature of rotating neutron stars.

    Dale Corson's Induction into the Cornell Center for Materials Research Hall of Fame
    Ashcroft, Neil W.; Richardson, Robert C.; Lehman, Jeffrey; Corson, Dale R. (Internet-First University Press, 2004-12-01)
    On December 1, 2004 President Emeritus Dale Corson was inducted as the second member of the new Hall of Fame being created by the Cornell Center for Materials Research in Clark Hall. Carson, who joins the founding Director Robert L. Sproull in the Hall of Fame, was instrumental in the creation of the Center. Also present for this event were President Lehman and Presidents Emeriti Hunter Rawlings and Frank Rhodes. The video includes speeches by President Lehman and Vice-Provost for Research Robert C. Richardson, whose Nobel Prize work in low-temperature physics was done in the Center. Professor Neil Ash croft, former Center Director, was moderator for the ceremony.
