...fundamental constants of physics, such as c the velocity of light, h Planck's constant, e the charge and m the mass of the electron, and so on, provide for us a set of absolute units for measurement of distance, time, mass, etc. There are, however, more of these constants than are necessary for this purpose, with the result that certain dimensionless numbers can be constructed from them...
...stated that American science has increased a great deal in recent years, while most of the eminent German scientists had left that country. Among the greatest recent discoveries in this country are the laboratory production of heavy hydrogen and the positive electron...
...leading article last week, Technology Review (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) sets forth a tentative explanation of why superconductivity, the condition of no resistance, occurs before the atomic dance has entirely stopped. At ordinary temperatures the electrons are dispersed and disorganized by the vibration and must make their way alone. But, in the view of Professor John Clarke Slater, head of M. I. T.'s physics department, in the neighborhood of Absolute Zero the atomic interference is so feeble that electrons may combine in large swarms and travel along together like mountain climbers tied together by a rope. By virtue...
...Mighty Electron- Dr. Birkhoff, who believes that esthetics is closely linked to mathematics and once read some mathematical poetry of his own composition at an A. A. A. S. convention, was elected next year's president of the Association...
...valedictory address Karl Taylor Compton gave a discourse on "The Electron: Its Intellectual and Social Significance" in which, as a lesson in the ultimate value of research in pure science, he pointed out that the invisible electron, once a figment in the mind of physics and later the plaything of a few pioneers, is now the ubiquitous slave of mankind...
