...colleagues were well aware, Scientist Yukawa was entitled to some congratulations himself. Ten years earlier, when he was a 28-year-old lecturer at Japan's Osaka University, Yukawa had taken the next step beyond the theory of nuclear fission with his brilliantly propounded theory of the meson. It had taken him more than a year simply to write out the mathematical formula through which he arrived at his conclusion: that a previously unknown type of particle was a clue to the force that held the nucleus of the atom together. Two years later the unknown particle was verified...

...Berkeley is just barely strong enough. Dr. Eugene Gardner, 35, and Brazilian-born Dr. C.M.G. Lattes, 23, put a thin carbon target in a beam of alpha particles (helium nuclei) in the cyclotron chamber. Figuring that the alpha particles had enough power (380 million electron volts) to knock mesons out of the carbon atoms, Gardner & Lattes put a stack of special photographic plates at the spot where the mesons should hit. Then they turned on the cyclotron. When they developed the plates, they found the characteristic wavy tracks of negative mesons. Some of them ended in "stars," the atomic...
