...latest list of scientists honored by the Vatican ranges across creeds and nations-from Nobel-prizewinning Physicist Sir James Chadwick, 70 (Church of England), to Hideki Yukawa, a Buddhist Nobelman from Japan.* Each man will receive a silver-gilt chain and medallion, and each will rate the Vatican title of excellency. From the Pope will come parchment proclamations addressing the Catholic scientists as "Dear Sir," the non-Catholics as "Famous Gentleman." And the varied salutations will be eloquent testimony to the Pontifical Academy's current catholicity of choice...
...Portugal (Roman Catholic); Chemist George de Hevesy, 75, born in Hungary, now living in Sweden (Roman Catholic); Physiologist Sir John Carew Eccles, 58, Australia (Roman Catholic); Geneticist Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher, 71, England (Church of England); Chemist Giordano Giacomello, 71, Italy (Roman Catholic); Victor Francis Hess, 77, Austrian-born physicist who taught (1938-51) at New York's Fordham University (Roman Catholic); Chemist Sir Cyril Norman Hinshelwood, 63, England (Church of England); Domenico Marotta, 74, director of the Superior Institute of Health, Rome (Roman Catholic). There are no Jews because, according to Academy Chancellor Pietro Salriucci, "there are just...
...supercool atom smasher, operating at temperatures close to absolute zero (-460° F.), may be smaller and cheaper to build, and could operate on far less electrical power than conventional electromagnetic accelerators, said Midwestern Universities Research Association Physicist Dr. Cyril D. Curtis. By using such superconductive materials as niobium-tin alloy (TIME, March 3) instead of huge iron magnets, atom smashers now 1,200 ft. in diameter might be reduced to less than 550 ft., and construction and operation costs could be cut by 35%. Curtis' projection was underscored at the same A.P.S. session when Brookhaven National Laboratory...
Noting that he would have to talk very fast to cover the subject, the eminent physicist George Gamow discussed the origin and development of the Universe last night in Burr...
Kahn replied to a challenge by that his book was poorly document- factually inaccurate by restating exploratory approach of his study. then accused the physicist of pass off weak documentation as method, finally asking, "Why did publish the book in the first place so unsure of your studies?" His objection was that Kahn's analysis of nuclear dismissed the very real effects of disasters as intangible...
