“…Max Born, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, went to Italy, then Cambridge and, in 1936, to Scotland, at the University of Edinburgh. Born's chair at the Institute for Theoretical Physics was then occupied in 1936 by Richard Becker, who had been transferred to Göttingen by order of the Reich Ministry for Education (Hentschel and Rammer 2001). Becker and Born had an influence on Touschek's development as a theoretical physicist, as Becker was Touschek's professor when Bruno studied in Göttingen in 1946.…”

Bruno Touschek was an Austrian born theoretical physicist, who proposed and built the first electron-positron collider in 1960 in the Frascati National Laboratories in Italy. In this note we reconstruct a crucial period of Bruno Touschek's life so far scarcely explored, which runs from Summer 1945 to the end of 1946. We shall describe his university studies in Göttingen, placing them in the context of the reconstruction of German science after 1945. The influence of Werner Heisenberg and other prominent German physicists will be highlighted. In parallel, we shall show how the decisions of the Allied powers, towards restructuring science and technology in the UK after the war effort, determined Touschek's move to the University of Glasgow in 1947.Make it a story of distances and starlight

This paper studies the tactics developed in Spain to improve the country's scientific capacity over most of the 20th century. Early in the 20th century, Spain sought to raise its low scientific standing by establishing relations with foreign scientists. The tactics changed according to the political situation. The first part of the paper covers the period from 1900 to the Civil War (1936-39); the second examines consequences of the conflict for physical scientists in Spain; and the third analyzes the growth of physical sciences in Franco's Spain following the Civil War, a period in which the United States exerted special influence.
