This year's Nobel Prize in physics (worth $42,606) went last week to two professors of the University of California at Berkeley, Emilio Segre, 54, and Owen Chamberlain, 39. In 1955 they headed a team that found the long-sought antiprotons, key particles of the stranger-than-fiction world of antimatter (TIME, Oct. 31, 1955 et seq.). Antiprotons, which the Segre-Chamberlain team identified in a beam of subatomic debris created by Berkeley's 6.2-billion-volt bevatron, have the mass of ordinary protons but carry negative electric charges instead of positive charges. When a proton hits...
...Redbook--General Education in a Free Society--which was the foundation of the original General Education proposal is virtually a dead letter. Professor David E. Owen, ex-Chairman of the General Education Committee, admits, "One can hardly disguise the fact that there has been departure from the Redbook." Professor Reuben A. Brower, who teaches Humanities 6, puts the matter more strongly: "I remember how the Redbook was cited right and left six years ago, but nobody mentions it now.... Just by quietly not talking about the Redbook, a lot of good things get done...
...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...
...Owen Chamberlain, visiting lecturer in Physics, and his colleague, Emilio Segre, of the University of California, may receive the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics today, Swedish newspapers reported this weekend. Chamberlain, currently teaching Physics 283, High Energy Physics, is on leave as a professor of Physics at the University of California...
Unconfirmed reports late last night stated that Owen Chamberlin, visiting lecturer in Physics, may receive this year's Nobel Prize for his work in quantum mechanics. Chamberlin, currently teaching Physics 283, High Energy Physics, is on leave as a professor of Physics at University of California...
