...Physics-Isidor Isaac Rabi, 46, tousle-haired Columbia professor, born in Austria and raised in New York City, who is now on war leave at M.I.T.'s Radiation (electronics) Laboratory...
Eight of the last ten Nobel physics awards have gone to atomic researchers. Stern's and Rabi's awards were for studies of the atom's nucleus-the core of protons and neutrons...
...Bethe figured out that the shape of the deuteron (nucleus of the heavy hydrogen atom) should not be spherical but oval like a football-which agreed with the experimental findings of Professor Isidor Isaac Rabi & associates at Columbia. Year ago Dr. Bethe was hailed by astrophysicists for figuring out that carbon must be the stuff that enables the sun to turn fragments of hydrogen atoms into sunshine (TIME, Feb. 27). Lately he has been working on the function in the atom's nucleus of a particle called the "mesotron," which weighs about 200 times as much as an electron...
Atomic Radio. Professor Isidor Isaac Rabi and associates of Columbia University showed that individual atoms send out radio waves in the broadcast and shortwave ranges-one and one-half to 1,000 metres. Naturally the energy of each wave is tiny and each atom sends out a wave only once in 1,000 to 100,000,000 years. But there are so many billions of atoms in a small pinch of substance that Dr. Rabi gets a continuous program on his detector, which is a ribbon of incandescent tungsten in an oscillating electromagnetic field. He expects to use atomic radio...
