MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Anatoly Larkin, a University of Minnesota researcher whose work led to advances in the understanding of theoretical physics, died Thursday. He was 72.
The university said in a news release that Larkin died unexpectedly in Aspen, Colo., where he was attending a workshop. He had joined the University of Minnesota faculty in 1995 after a career at several institutions in his native Russia.
Larkin was best known for research into condensed matter theory, particularly superconductivity, which is the ability some metals have to conduct electricity without resistance at very low temperatures.
