Sometime next month a switch will be thrown at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator, sending light flooding into the experimental hall that has been dark since last July's explosion. For many Harvard and M.I.T. physicists it will signal the start of a million dollar gamble...
Scientists at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator will for the first time get a detailed look at their experiments while they are in progress, when a new computer is installed at the Computation Center in January...
Primeval Presumption. During an electron microscopic examination of samples of ancient, black sedimentary rock from South Africa, Paleontologist Barghoorn uncovered the remains of 3-billion-year-old, rod-shaped organisms so small that 50,000 of them, placed end to end, would measure only an inch. Until his find, the oldest known forms of life were more complex tiny organisms-also identified and photographed by Barghoorn (TIME, March 12)-that existed about 2 billion years ago. With the older specimens, he now believes "we are getting close to an area in time-say within a half-billion years-of possible...
Barghoorn found the black rock near Barbetorn, South Africa on an expedition last year. He then brought the specimens back to Harvard where he discovered the fossils, 50,000ths of an inch in length, with an electron microscope...
