   We`ll have a confluence of some of the best minds addressing some of the most fascinating and fundamental questions about the nature of the universe and how it all began , ' said Stanford President John Hennessy. ``We're honored by the generosity of Pehong and Adele Chen , and we look forward to many great things from this partnership.''.
   
   Pehong Chen said the gift was a way of giving back to the community. He also noted that he was inspired by his older brother , Pisin , a physicist at SLAC , whom he said ``had a great influence on me when I was a teen-ager. Although he didn't succeed in luring me into studying physics , I have always had great admiration for physicists whose discoveries have provided the basis of most modern technologies , and also have revolutionized our concepts about space , time , matter and the universe.''.
   
   The Chen gift will be used to fund a new building at SLAC , which Stanford operates under contract with the Department of Energy ( DOE ) , and an endowed professorship that would allow Stanford to recruit a preeminent scientist as the institute's first director.
   
   ``We anticipate that the institute will serve as a focal point for eminent researchers and visitors.
