This was an old trick to the Apted men who warned students to beware especially of a pseudo pipe salesman and a sailor with a hard luck story, reported recently to be working the College dormitories.
Harvard yesterday announced the completion of an 85-ton cyclotron capable of producing atomic projectiles of 11,000,000 volts energy, which will be of great use for research in the biological and physical sciences.
The Harvard cyclotron was planned and constructed by a group composed of Kenneth T. Bainbridge, associate professor of Physics; Jabez C. Street, associate professor of Physics; Roger W. Hickman, lecturer in Physics and Engineering; and John J. Livingood, instructor in Physics, working under the Committee on Nuclear Physics, of which...
The apparatus is similar in principle to other cyclotrons now in construction or operation throughout the world all of which are based on the fundamental design developed by Professor Ernest O. Lawrence of the University of California, recent recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Atoms are transmuted when struck by the high-speed atomic particles or ions. The cyclotron affords a method of achieving these high speeds through a combination of electric and magnetic forces acting on the ions which have their origin at the center of a large vacuum chamber. These forces cause...
