Peaked Gables. Last week the old argument was again alive-and this time because of findings made by wealthy Emilio Estrada of Guayaquil, Ecuador, who dabbles deeply in archaeology even while running a thriving auto and appliance business. He has interested himself in Ecuador's northern coastal region because of vaguely oriental objects previously found there. In 1956, after learning diggers' techniques from Archaeologists Clifford Evans and Betty Meggers of the U.S.'s Smithsonian Institution, he began concentrating on the coastal town of Bahia de Caraquez where, according to ancient legends, a people called the Caras landed...
There is not, and cannot be, a realistic rule for classifying science or scientists. Physicist Emilio Segrč, a 1959 Nobelman for his explorations into the Alice-Through-the-Looking-Glass world of antimatter, is a master of pure theory. Virologist John Enders, with his struggles to understand submicroscopic organisms, has given mankind a powerful biological tool to produce immunization against diseases. Physicist Charles Townes, from his theoretical speculations about microwaves, sired one of the most revolutionary devices of the age: the maser, of immense practical application not only on earth but in seeking out the wonders of the universe. Geneticist...
...world of the physicist can be an eerie one?and that is part of its fascination. In the field of high-energy physics, few are involved in more eerie or more fascinating work than Berkeley's Italian-born Emilio Segrč, who discovered the antiproton, which turns into a flash of energy when it hits an ordinary proton...
Donald Arthur Glaser, 34, wore an evening waistcoat that was yellowed with age when he stepped up to receive his Nobel Prize in Physics from Sweden's King Gustav VI Adolf early this month. The old vest, he explained, had been worn by two other Nobelmen, Edwin McMillan and Emilio Segre, before him, "and I guess I'll pass it along to somebody else for some future Nobel ceremony." Chances are, Glaser himself may some day want it back for just that reason. Having reached top rank in his field with his invention of a bubble chamber for photographing atomic...
...Emilio Gino Segrč, 55, was a promising young Italian engineering student when he was invited to become the late great Physicist Enrico Fermi's first graduate student. The invitation paid off. Fermi and Segrč collaborated with three other Italian scientists in perfecting the slow neutron process that was essential to the production of the atomic bomb. In 1938 Segrč came to the U.S., and six years later, like Fermi, became a U.S. citizen. Although he feels certain that most scientists do their best work before they are 30, he excepts himself, continues with his Nobel-prizewinning work in the weird...
