Promoted to assistant professors of Physics are Louis N. Hand, who has investigated the properties of the nucleus revealed by electron scattering, and Joseph L. Snider, who has done research on the magnetic properties of the nitrogen nucleus. Hand, an Instructor since 1962, holds the B.A. (1955) from Swarthmore and the Ph.D. (1962) from Stanford. Snider, an instructor since 1961, holds the B.A. (1956) from Amherst and the Ph.D. (1961) from Princeton...
...something to be shrugged off lightly. Alumni support has given Harvard the financial endowment that bolsters its independence and academic freedom. If Harvard should alienate its alumni, it would become dependent upon government funds which might limit its freedom of inquiry and expression. Government controls on the Cambridge Electron Accelerator indicate the dangers of government largesse...
...Paul Kenneth Hansma of Scottsdale, Ariz., "just seemed to drift into science," has built everything from a cloud chamber to a solar furnace to an electron accelerator. For a hobby he builds fountains, is now on his ninth. He studies with stereo earphones whispering light classical music to him. He will attend New College in Sarasota, Fla., move on to postgraduate research in physics. > Jacquelyn Faye Evans of Little Rock, Ark., made her achievements (straight A's) amid notably tense circumstances as one of the few Negro students to enter and stay at Little Rock's Hall High...
...that the line was hard to identify; its wave length showed that it came from ionized calcium atoms that have lost one electron. But where did this calcium come from? At the corona's temperature, 3,000,000º, calcium loses nearly all its 20 electrons and shows the loss by emitting a different kind of light. In the singly ionized state, calcium cannot exist above a comparatively frigid...
Loose particles of any material tend to travel in a straight line in a vacuum-a phenomenon that made television a reality by allowing the direction of electron beams to be precisely controlled in a vacuum tube. Liquids, from water to molten metals, boil and evaporate quickly at low temperatures in a vacuum and condense in an even film on any surface they strike. Thus industry has been able to lay thin metal grids in microcircuits (TIME, Feb. 7) and coat cheap plastic jewelry, auto trim or Christmas wrappings so that they look like gold or silver...
