Founded in 1868, Berkeley enjoyed a golden age in the physical, chemical, and biological sciences in the early 1900s, leading to the development of the first cyclotron by Ernest O. Lawrence, the isolation of the human polio virus, and the discovery of numerous elements, including Plutonium, Berkelium, and Californium. Nobel Prizes have been awarded to nineteen past and present faculty, among the 53 Nobel laureates associated with the university. The campus gained attention worldwide with the birth of the Free Speech Movement from student protests against United States involvement in the Vietnam War, significantly defining the 1960s in America. Later developments include a number of key technologies associated with the development of the Internet, BSD Unix, and the Open Source Software movement.
