The Russians also said that they are building the world's biggest atom smasher, one that will hurl protons (hydrogen nuclei) with energies as high as 10 billion volts against the nuclei of target atoms, enabling Soviet scientists to study the forces binding the atoms. In another paper read at Geneva, the Russians claimed to have discovered, by using radioactive isotopes as tracers, that plants photosynthesize protein...
