It meant that Britain, if she could not block the building of the Suez Canal, must at least partly own and control it and must by hook or crook dominate Egypt, then...
...England was an astute physicist, just past 40, whose experiments in science had continued even while he was interned in Germany during the War. Dr. James Chadwick, working under Lord Rutherford in Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, was studying the same strange rays obtained by the Curie-Joliots. He found that they were electrically neutral like light but were actually particles 1,845 times as heavy as electrons. Thus was discovered the neutron (TIME, March 7, 1932). The Curie-Joliots confirmed his discovery, showed that neutrons behaved as only electrically inert particles could...
...centuries. To house his generator, helium liquefier and other equipment, an ornate new laboratory was built in the courtyard of Cavendish Laboratory, with steel and scarlet furniture in the director's office, separate rooms for the heavy apparatus, vibration-damping walls, an Eric Gill plaque of Lord Rutherford, boss of Cavendish Laboratory, in the entrance hall. Cost: $75,000. Happy Dr. Kapitza went in as director, started investigating the magnetic resistance of substances at low temperatures. At three degrees above Absolute Zero, he learned, the resistance of bismuth was increased 2,000 times. But much more important finds seemed...
