During the past year, Wilson's research has contributed to major improvements in the University's cyclotron. He will work with the new six-billion-volt Cambridge Electron Accelerator which the University will construct in conjunction with M.I.T...
...tiny but lethal amount into a test tube. A third mops the floor. Some of the shows deal with historic events in the young life of nuclear physics: in one, the University of California's Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence explains with magnets and diagrams how he invented the cyclotron...
Russian papers published in 1939 and 1940, say the Rand team, prove that Soviet nuclear physics was as advanced at the time as in any other country. Its apparatus was plentiful and excellent. The first cyclotron on the European continent was in operation at the Leningrad Radium Institute before 1940. Two other cyclotrons were in the works, one of which (if the war had not intervened) would have been three times more powerful than the 60-inch cyclotron at Berkeley, then the world's biggest...
...positive electrons exist, why not negative protons? Scientists searched for them for years in cosmic rays, but found only a few doubtful cases. They hoped to create them in the laboratory, but no existing cyclotron had enough power. It took the Berkeley Bevatron to create an antiproton out of energy. Like the positron, it, too, appears only paired with an ordinary proton, and destroys itself as soon as it collides with a proton...
...separated from Cambridge, his helpful suggestion was greeted by laughter. If Harvardians would consider this proposal for a Vatican City seriously, we would discover the limitless possibilities of a Free Harvard. With perhaps the highest per capita concentration of brain in any community in the world, a genuine cyclotron, and a private forest, Harvard could undoubtedly be the most powerful and influential political organ in the world. In view of Harvard's immense resources (the nation's second largest library, glass flowers, and Seymour Harris) it should not only separate from Cambridge, but announce its city-stateship...
