...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...
...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...
