...million electron volt Harvard Cyclotron has recently treated malignant tumors in four patients, and early results indicate that the Cyclotron may be instrumental in the development of cures for cancer, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease...
...Seaborg and his associates gradually extended the periodic table of elements, usually named their discoveries for their place of origin (americum, berkelium, californium), or for fellow scientists (curium, einsteinium, fermium). But Seaborg modestly discounts his achievements: "It was just a matter of being there. After all, we had the cyclotron...
Seaborg is married to the former secretary of the late Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence, one of his campus colleagues at Berkeley, inventor of the cyclotron and a Nobel laureate. Seaborg and his wife agreed that it would be nice to have a family of six children-and they have six, including one boy who was calmly and tidily delivered by his father. With characteristic resourcefulness Glenn Seaborg had already studied obstetrics and knew exactly what to do in such an emergency. Such scientific foresight should serve him well in his present...
Tritium is produced when great solar explosions cause hydrogen and helium to combine at energies of over a million electron volts. The effect can be duplicated on earth with a cyclotron...
Neck & Neck. When Robert Sproul took over in 1929, he gave the faculty the best of academic prizes: prestige. Sproul raised cash for young Physicist Ernest O. Lawrence to build the first cyclotron, and Berkeley was suddenly the nucleonics hotspot of the world. Uplifted by its physics stars, the faculty began raiding other faculties across the country. Cal now has eight Nobel prizewinners (seven at Berkeley, including the chancellor, Chemist Glenn Seaborg) and more Guggenheims than any other U.S. university (1960 crop...
