...that theme, Physicist Rabi, 68, who was born in the old Austro-Hungarian empire, grew up in New York's Lower East Side and went on from a Ph.D. at Columbia University to become one of the nation's pioneer nuclear researchers, ended 37 years of teaching at Columbia. A 1944 Nobel prizewinner, Rabi developed the molecular-beam magnetic-resonance theories that laid the foundation for microwave radar, lasers, masers and modern radio astronomy. He was a consultant to the Manhattan Project that built the first atom bomb, and was one of the men responsible for creating...
Stubby Arms. Finally, during a 1963 visit to Germany, Turner mentioned his idea to Physicist Hans Meinke, a micro wave expert whose research is partially financed by the U.S. Air Force. Meinke immediately grasped Turner's concept, volunteered to work on it, and was awarded an Air Force contract. Now, after four years of mathematical analysis and laboratory work, he has finally built several prototype models of the mini-antennas that Turner visualized. The simplest of Meinke's devices, which the Air Force calls Subminiature Integrated Antennas (SIA), consists of three stubby, pencil-sized arms, each at tached...
Arthur Kantrowicz, noted physicist and president of Avco-Everett Laboratories, will talk on "Scientific Judgement and Governmental Decisions" at 8 p.m. tonight in the Kirkland House...
...there is any victim in grantsmanship, it is not the Government or the foundations but the undergraduate student. To the professor tied up in the pursuit of research funds, teaching may seem like an unpleasant interruption in his real career. One U.C.L.A. physicist, for example, contends that "a professor who gets three or four men through to their Ph.D. via research is achieving far more than he can by lecturing to a hundred freshmen all year." The nation's 1.5 million freshmen are not likely to agree-until they, too, some day need a grant...
