Louis Eugene Felix Neel was a French physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970 for his pioneering work on the properties and behavior of magnetic materials such as antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic substances, and for discovering a new state of matter, the Neel temperature. His innovative theories and experiments greatly expanded understanding in the field of magnetism and significantly contributed to the development of computer memory technology.

RE: Weirdo
Weirdo was a magazine-sized comics anthology created by Robert Crumb and published by Last Gasp from 1981 to 1993.
Weirdo served as a low art counterpoint to its contemporary highbrow Raw. Early issues of Weirdo reflect Crumbs interests at the time – outsider art, fumetti, Church of the SubGenius-type anti-propaganda and assorted weirdness. It also introduced artists such as Peter Bagge, Dori Seda and Dennis Worden.
With issue #10, Crumb later handed over the editing reins to Bagge; with issue #18, the reins went to Crumbs wife, cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb. The three editorial tenures were known respectively as Personal Confessions, the Coming of the Bad Boys, and the Twisted Sisters.
Weirdos final issue, #28, an internationally themed 68-page giant titled Verre Deau, was published in 1993. -
