After setting up sophisticated detectors to monitor their results, a team ol physicists led by Albert Ghiorso used the University of California's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory's heavy-ion linear accelerator (HILAC) to shoot nitrogen 15 nuclei with an energy level of 84 million electron volts at a submicroscopic bit of californium 249. Although a constant stream of nuclei was directed at the target, only about six collisions per hour produced atoms of the new element...
...probably ask where the money for such an undertaking would come from. But what do we need money for.? Marble pillars.? A boat-house? A spacious campus with a chapel? An electron accelerator? A computer for our political science mandarins? Secretaries to type endless manuscripts for non-teaching professors? Deleting these "extras, one could support a university solely on a tuition smaller than Harvard's or M.I.T.'s-and still give scholarships to needy students. Think about...
Because of a 30 per cent cutback in federal funding for the coming fiscal year, the Cambridge Electron Accelerator will lay off 68 employees and concentrate exclusively on just one high-energy physics project...

...that the Atomic Energy Commission is cutting off funds completely-after a total investment of $30 million on a project that, according to Director Milton White, has not yet had a chance to reach its peak efficiency. Another important tool for probing the secrets of the atom, the Cambridge Electron Accelerator at Harvard University, is in jeopardy: its budget has been cut 25%. "This," says M.I.T. Professor Victor Weisskopf, "essentially means that it will go out of business." Budget cuts have already paralyzed a less costly but still formidable piece of hardware: a $35,000 electron microscope given...
