Last updated

Thomas James Bernatowicz, from Washington University, was awarded the status of Fellow [1] in the American Physical Society, [2] having been nominated by their Division of Astrophysics in 1999. [3]

Bernatowicz was recognized for his measurements of the double beta decay of 128Te and 130Te, and consequential limits of < 1.5 ev on the Majorana mass of the neutrino. He also has contributed to the discovery and laboratory study of ancient stardust, providing new insights into grain growth in stellar outflows.
