...Effect, discovery of which won German Physicist Rudolph Mössbauer a Nobel Prize (TIME, Nov. 10), allows gamma rays from certain radioactive isotopes to be used for measurements of extreme precision. Since gamma rays are closely akin to light, Physicist Ward suggests shooting them across an intense light beam and measuring any loss of energy due to photon-photon collisions...
...question, of course, is always can we beat Yale? The most realistic Elis will be the only team to beam to beat Harvard this year...
...cover are viruses-magnified more than 50,000 times and reproduced in their actual shape by machine and man. The viruses, which are measured in millionths of an inch, were first photographed by an electron microscope that produces an enlarged image of minute particles through the use of a beam of electrons. Working from electron-micrograph prints, Artist Bernard Safran enlarged the viruses somewhat more to obtain the proper effect for the cover. Among those he chose to use, the sticklike viruses at upper left are the tobacco mosaic virus, which figured importantly in early virological discoveries made...
...probing deeper than any man before him into the hidden heart of matter. Born in New York and educated at City College of New York and Princeton University, Hofstadter went west to Stanford in 1950 determined to attack the great mystery of the inner structure of matter. Using a beam of high-energy electrons from Stanford's linear accelerator as a sort of microscope, he and a team of assistants proved that protons and neutrons, which form the bulk of matter, are dense at their centers, cloudlike outside and only one forty-thousandth of a billionth of an inch...
...agenda for future lectures are a Boston publisher, an electron beam researcher, a state department official, a jazz musician, and a local businessman. Dean Monro and Byron Stookey, Jr. '54, associate director of Advanced Standing, have also agreed to speak...
