...group, after a cursory look at the Yard, visited the Cambridge Electron Accelerator, run jointly by Harvard and M.I.T. Milton S. Livingston, CEA Director, told the newsmen about the expected projects of the Accelerator and showed them through the nearly completed underground oval and complex power station...
...same A.P.S. session when Brookhaven National Laboratory's Dr. G. Kenneth Green proudly reported that the world's biggest atom smasher, the Brookhaven alternating gradient synchrotron, was now in full-scale operation. Costing $31 million, the synchrotron can generate up to 33 or 34 billion electron volts (BEV) by boosting protons through an underground circular metal tube at fantastic speeds...
...copper conveyor belt. At intervals, an automatic device moved the copper belt a short distance, bringing the newly created atoms close to a series of silicon radiation detectors. About five times each hour the detectors signaled the capture of an alpha particle charged with 8,600,000 electron volts of energy. Nuclear theory predicts that this is just the particle that would be emitted during the disintegration of element 103. The scientists estimated its half-life as eight seconds, and they named it lawrencium, after Ernest Lawrence, founder of their laboratory...
Keith Porter, the noted electron microscopist from the Rockefeller Institute, will join the University Faculty next fall as professor of Biology, and give a course called "The Cell," which will use the resources of the natural sciences to penetrate to the molecular level, according to Wald...
M.I.T. is moving toward a basic change in its organic structure. It is creating five "centers": for the life sciences, the earth sciences, materials research, communications, and aeronautics and astronautics. In the life sciences center, for" example, electrical engineers, physicists, chemists, mathematicians, medical men, biophysicists, biochemists, microbiologists and electron-microscope experts all pool their skills. The life sciences center is a prime customer for Chilean fishermen, who ship to Cambridge the nerve fibers of a giant squid found off Chile's coast. The size of the fibers makes them relatively easy to work with, and M.I.T.'s life...
