Informed that he had won the $50,000 Enrico Fermi Award "for his leadership in thermonuclear research," Dr. Edward Teller, 54, who dislikes being called the father of the hydrogen bomb, had just one request. "I would appreciate it," he said, "since this for me is a nice occasion, that you refrain from calling me the father of anything...
...appeared to take into account all of the observations then available. Ther model consisted of two strands of alternating sugar and phosphate groups wound about a common axis as a double helix. The bases were attached to the sugar groups and projected toward each other from opposite strands. Finally, hydrogen bonds between the base-pairs formed rung-like links between the two strands...
...this second experiment the beam will be used to create, through bombardment of a special target, a stream of high energy photons. The photons, in turn, will be directed into a hydrogen bubble chamber. Interaction of the photons with the hydrogen nuclei will produce strange particles. These particles will leave a track of bubbles in the hydrogen, and in this way can be observed and studied...
...side of the experimental hall, scientists have constructed one of the most important pieces of apparatus to be used in the C.E.A.'s experimental program: a liquid helium cryostat. This device will cool and liquify gases, principally hydrogen, for beam targets and bubble chambers. The bubble chambers are large jars of liquid hydrogen, and are used as tracking devices. Many short-lived, invisible particles leave a track of bubbles as they travel through the hydrogen. These tracks can be photographed and later studied...
Because liquid hydrogen is dangerously explosive, the cryogenics room is explosion-proof and equipped with a fast ventilating system. The roof off the experimental hall is also designed for rapid ventilation to minimize the hazards of spilled hydrogen...
