STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN—According to the Nobel Archives, since the inception of the Nobel prize in the waning years of the 19th century, Duke University has had more Nobel Laureates affiliated with its university than NC State: 12 to be exact. Among the ranks of these great scholars include Charles H. Townes, Robert C. Richardson, and Robert Lefkowitz. Their contributions (respectively) include work on the “maser” (the predecessor of the laser), the discovery of superfluidity in He-3, and work with G-coupled receptors.
