...world's biggest atom-smashers seldom smash atoms any more-except incidentally. Such mighty machines as the Berkeley Bevatron and the Brookhaven Cosmotron are used chiefly to explore the particles of which atoms are built. Last week the University of California at Berkeley put into operation a special machine for attacking atoms from a new angle. Its cost...
...objective data" included in the article was a chart in which each of 28 fields of study at the ten leading universities was rated as "distinguished" or "not distinguished." Harvard scored 21 distinguished departments ratings to tie with Yale for third place, behind the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Chicago...
...have the world's most powerful particle accelerator. Last week Soviet scientists announced that the great proton synchrotron in the village of Dubna near Moscow has gone into operation and is generating protons with 8.3 billion electron-volts of energy. This beats the 6 billion-volt Bevatron at Berkeley, Calif, by a comfortable margin, and the Russian scientists are confident that their machine will soon reach its designed power...
...Russian machine is mostly a scaled-up copy of the Berkeley Bevatron and the Cosmotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory. N.Y. It contains some new gadgets, but uses no novel principle. Most notable thing about it is its enormous size. Its ring of magnets is 184 ft. in diameter and contains 36,000 tons of steel. According to U.S. Physicist Luis Alvarez, who visited Dubna last spring, Russian physicists joke a little about the amount of steel. The Iron Curtain, they told him, was melted down to provide...
...Foundation grant of $800,000 to the University of Chicago will support the inter-university program for visiting scholars from Asia and the Near East which was set up about a month ago. Chicago, Columbia, the University of California at Berkeley, and Harvard are conducting the program together...
