For this month’s #archiveshashtagparty, we share from the Royal W. Sorensen papers a photo from the High Volts Laboratory. Sorensen regularly gave public demonstrations on high volts electricity using the cascade transformer to produce artificial lightning. #ArchivesScience

Prior to leading the team that developed the first atomic bomb at Los Alamos, J. Robert Oppenheimer held a dual appointment at Caltech and UC Berkeley. At least one term a year between 1930-1942, he commuted to Pasadena to teach Topics in Theoretical Physics. (Photo: 1930s)
