...Following is the conclusion to President Pusey's report on the University for 1961-62. Earlier in his report, Pusey noted the beginning of operation of the Cambridge Electron Accelerator, the organization of the new computing center, and the gaining of the halfway mark in the million Program for Harvard as noteworthy events during this year...
...probing the mysteries of the relationship between viruses and human cancer may be tackling the most difficult job in all of medicine. It would be tough enough if their task involved whole viruses, most of which can not be seen and can be photographed only with the electron microscope. But cancer research must make even more minute explorations inside viruses; it must chart the behavior of molecules in a no man's land between the living and the nonliving...
...powdered uranium oxide, sealed the mixture in a capsule and stuck the capsule in a nuclear reactor at Livermore Laboratory. When neutrons from the reactor hit uranium atoms in the capsule, they caused the atoms to fission, or split. The atomic fragments shot apart with enormous energy (200 million electron volts per fission), splintering ammonia molecules and knocking them in every direction. The fragments recombined at once. Some formed gaseous hydrogen (H2) or nitrogen (N2). But about half the ammonia that reacted formed the much-desired hydrazine (N2H4...
...institute's ultramodern equipment, Director John R. Green is proudest of the massive electron microscope. Magnifying 200,000 times, it can photograph bits of matter as small as a brain cell. "We can study changes in single cells in tumors and changes due to aging," says Dr. Green. "We see this machine as ten tons of hope...
...find rather easily, in fact, that Eddington's absolute constant of 137 began as 136. Eddington added a unit when that value became inconsistent with better experimental values of the electron charge and the speed of light. Max Born's Experiment and The-Physics gently dissects Eddington under an aegis that most critics want to share: evaluation of what seems reasonable and what seems unreasonable. I have the feeling that Newman, with his long experience mathematics, could also have something interesting to say about Eddington's attempt to fit the constants of nature to a Procrustean bed of positive integers...
