The year 1964 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.

Astronomy and space exploration

  • Spring – First recognition of cosmic microwave background radiation as a detectable phenomenon.[1] The discovery and confirmation of the Cosmic microwave background in 1964 secured the Big Bang as the best theory of the origin and evolution of the universe.
  • March 20 – The precursor of the European Space Agency, ESRO (European Space Research Organization) is established (under an agreement of June 14, 1962).
  • July 31 – Ranger program: Ranger 7 sends back the first close-up photographs of the Moon; images are 1,000 times clearer than anything ever seen from Earth-bound telescopes.
  • October 12 – The Soviet Union launches the Voskhod 1 into Earth orbit as the first spacecraft with a multi-person crew and the first flight without space suits (the crew wouldn't fit in the space capsule otherwise).

Biology

  • British molecular biologist Robin Holliday proposes existence of the Holliday junction in nucleic acid.

Computer science

  • April 7 – IBM announces the System/360, in six models with 32-bit architecture.
  • May 1 – John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz run the first program created in BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), an easy to learn high level programming language that will eventually be included on many computers and even some games consoles.
  • PL/I (Programming Language I), a block-structured computer language, is created by George Radin, while at IBM.
  • Programma 101 is announced at the World's Fair. Invented by the Italian engineer Pier Giorgio Perotto, It is the first commercial programmable desktop computer.

Earth sciences

  • March 27 (Good Friday) – Great Alaskan earthquake, the second most powerful known, with a magnitude of 9.2.[2]
  • Swiss geologist Augusto Gansser publishes Geology of the Himalayas.

History of science and technology

  • January 23 – The Smithsonian Institution's Museum of History and Technology opens to the public in Washington, D.C.[3]

Mathematics

  • Paul Cohen proves the independence of the continuum hypothesis.[4]
  • Jacques Tits publishes significant work on group theory.[5]

Medicine

  • January 11 – U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry reports that smoking may be hazardous to health in the first such statement from the Federal government of the United States.
  • January 16 – First angioplasty carried out, on the superficial femoral artery by U.S. interventional radiologist Charles Dotter.[6][7]
  • January 23 – First heart transplantation on a human, using a chimpanzee heart, carried out by U.S. surgeon James D. Hardy on Boyd Rush, but the organ is rejected after a few hours.
  • March 28 – The Epstein-Barr virus is first described, by Anthony Epstein, Bert Achong and Yvonne Barr in London.[8]
  • Jerome Horowitz synthesizes zidovudine (AZT), an antiviral drug that will come to be used in treating HIV.
  • Temazepam first synthesized.
  • Lesch–Nyhan syndrome is first described, by Drs Michael Lesch and William Nyhan.
  • Fernando Alves Martins of Portugal applies optical fiber technology to a gastrocamera to produce the first such device with a flexible fiberscope, for use in esophagogastroduodenoscopy.[9]

Paleontology

  • August – John Ostrom identifies remains of the dinosaur Deinonychus in Montana, significant in being a small, agile species closely related to the birds.[10]

Physics

  • Three papers are published by Robert Brout and François Englert,[11][12] Peter Higgs,[13] and Gerald Guralnik, Dick Hagen, and Tom Kibble,[14][15] predicting the Higgs boson and Higgs mechanism (or Englert–Brout–Higgs–Guralnik–Hagen–Kibble mechanism) which provides the means by which gauge bosons can acquire non-zero masses in the process of spontaneous symmetry breaking.[16] As part of Physical Review Letters{{'}} 50th anniversary celebration, the journal will recognize each of these contributions as milestone papers in its history.[17]
  • Existence of the charm quark is speculated by James Bjorken and Sheldon Glashow.[18]
  • John Stewart Bell publishes a paper on the EPR paradox originating Bell's theorem.[19]

Psychology

  • Publication of Eric Berne's book Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships.

Technology

  • October – Dr. Robert Moog demonstrates his prototype synthesizers.[20]
  • Farrington Daniels' book Direct Use of the Sun's Energy is published.[21]

Publications

  • Science Citation Index begins publication.

Awards

  • Nobel Prizes
    • Physics – Charles Hard Townes, Nicolay Gennadiyevich Basov, Aleksandr Prokhorov
    • Chemistry – Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin
    • Medicine – Konrad Bloch, Feodor Lynen

Births

  • January 2 – Michael J. Horowitz, American electrical engineer.
  • February 19 – Jennifer Doudna, American biochemist.
  • August 25 – Maxim Kontsevich, Russian mathematician.

Deaths

  • February 5 – Matilde E. Moisant (born 1878), American pioneer aviator.
  • April 14 – Tatiana Ehrenfest-Afanaseva (born 1876), Russian-born Dutch mathematician.
  • April 24 – Gerhard Domagk (born 1895), German winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
  • May 30 – Leó Szilárd (born 1898), Hungarian-American physicist.
  • December 1 – J. B. S. Haldane (born 1892), British geneticist.
  • December 17 – Victor Franz Hess (born 1883), American physicist.
  • December 30 – Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt (born 1885), German neuropathologist.
