Instead of importing a scientific elite, Israel was forced to produce its own; 80% of the institute's permanent staff is Israeli. Unlike many labs elsewhere, it enjoys what its scientific council chief, Mathematician Joseph Gillis, calls "a negative brain drain": far more scientists are trying to get in than to leave...
Barton's research involved the bonding of atoms in cyclohexane-molecules whose basis is a ring of six carbon atoms. Odd Hassel, the Norwegian chemist with whom Barton shares the Nobel Prize, discovered that the carbon rings formed two types of bonds. Barton explained the occurrence and behavior of both types...
...chemist can use this program with only one minute of practice," Dr. Corey said last week.
