...using the University of California's big new atom smasher at Berkeley, Physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain identified an elusive subatomic particle that had long been postulated but never found: the antiproton. Their discovery, honored four years later by a Nobel Prize, helped confirm the existence of "antimatter"-the strange substance that has many physical properties exactly opposite to those of "normal" matter. Now, to the astonishment of the scientific world, a fellow physicist has filed suit against Segrè and Chamberlain, accusing them of stealing a key idea that led to their significant discovery and Nobel...
...packed neutrons, or a smaller "black hole"-a star so dense that its tremendous gravity prevents even light from escaping. The 1967 discovery of pulsars, since identified as neutron stars, seemed to support this explanation of how stars die. Now, observations of Kowal's supernova may help to confirm...

It caps Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik, designed to improve West Germany's relations with its Communist neighbors. That may bring relaxation in Europe, but it may also bring new tensions and rival ries between the U.S. and Russia there...
