The faculty's present attitude is one of preserving the original aims of the course--the development of coherent, lucid exposition--while recognizing that this objective may be obtained by several methods...
...visiting professor of Physics will share the world's highest scientific honor, the Nobel Prize, for his recent work on anti-matter. Owen Chamberlain, Morris Loeb Visiting Professor of Physics, received official notification yesterday afternoon of his winning the $42,606 award with Emlio Segre, also a professor at the University of California...
Originally made in 1955, the discovery by Chamberlain and Segre proved the theory that all particles have anti-matter counterparts. When a particle of anti-matter collides with normal matter, a tremendous quantity of energy is released, primarily in the form of other subatomic particles...
...There is no direct practical application at the present time, however, for anti-matter," Chamberlain pointed out, "but the discovery will help us a great deal in understanding nuclear structure." Although no important discoveries have been made with the anti-proton in the last three years, he felt confident "important discoveries" would be made in the near future...
