...contained in extremely small structures found in green leaves can it use the energy of light to release hydrogen from water, the first step in photosynthesis. The orderly pattern of the molecules in these bodies, say Drs. Melvin Calvin and Power B. Sogo of the University of California at Berkeley, is the key to the process...

Head-On Accelerator. Another team of dealers in magnetic fields. Dr. Lawrence W. Jones of the University of Michigan and Tihiro Ohkawa of Tokyo University, told their colleagues about a new and cataclysmic kind of atom smasher. The most powerful one in operation at present is the Bevatron at Berkeley (6 billion electron volts), and a 25-Bev monster is under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. These are rather puny little gadgets, think Jones and Ohkawa. The way to get real power is to force head-on collisions between high-speed particles...
Physicists blame the tau-theta puzzle on the world's two most powerful atom-smashers, the Cosmotron at Brookhaven and the Bevatron at Berkeley, Calif. The atom-smashers have, in their few years of operation, raised more problems than they have solved. One of their most baffling stunts was to produce the K meson, a short-lived particle knocked out of atomic nuclei. In all significant ways K mesons are alike, but some of them, called "tau K mesons," decay into three pi mesons; others, called "theta K mesons," decay into only two pi mesons. For mathematical reasons which...
