  Soft-matter pioneer dies (May 24)
  http://physicsweb.org/article/news/11/5/19
     The pioneering French physicist and Nobel laureate Pierre-Gilles de
   Gennes has died at the age of 74. De Gennes, who was awarded the Nobel
   Prize in Physics in 1991 for his ground-breaking work on liquid crystals
   and polymers, died last Friday in Orsay. Dubbed the "Isaac Newton of our
   time" by the Nobel-Prize committee, de Gennes also had an interest in
   many other fields of science and finished his career at the Institut
   Curie in Paris where he worked on cellular adhesion and brain function.
