...committee was formed following a disruption at an appearance by Stanford physicist William Shockley in October...
...metronomes--and was an early fan of Ma's. When he was looking for music for his wedding, he called up Ma, even though they had never met. Charmed by the directness of the request, Ma agreed to play. Horowitz has taped several of his concerts since, and the physicist and the music major often talk by phone, discussing performances and laughing at gadgets that would make music...
...polar regions; new studies of the planet's temperature, radiation levels and magnetic field; and the first measurements of Amalthea, smallest and innermost of Jupiter's 13 known moons.* Space Pioneer. No one is watching Pioneer 11's travels with more interest than another pioneer, Physicist James Van Allen, who scored the first triumph of American space science by discovering the radiation belts around the earth that now bear his name (TIME cover, May 4, 1959). Even before Pioneer 11 was launched nearly two years ago, Van Allen was urging that the planned flyby of Jupiter should...
...stereo amplifier, a hearing aid or even a pocket calculator. In the Westinghouse TV system, the chip is relatively large-a 6-in. by 6-in. surface that forms the TV screen. The chip contains some 36,000 electronic components-"probably the world's largest integrated circuit," says Physicist T. Peter Brody, head of the research team...
...some very exciting physics to tell you," said M.I.T. Physicist Samuel Ting earlier this month as he entered the office of Burton Richter, a Stanford University physicist. "Listen," Richter interrupted, "I've got some exciting physics to tell you." In fact, the two researchers, working independently and a continent apart, had almost simultaneously made an important discovery: a totally new type of subatomic particle that could upset prevailing ideas about the basic nature of matter...
