...synthesis of element No. 106 was announced last week by a Berkeley team led by Physicist Albert Ghiorso and Chemist Glenn Seaborg, the former Atomic Energy Commission chairman who won a Nobel Prize for synthesizing element No. 94 (plutonium). The Berkeley scientists used a newly beefed-up particle accelerator called Super-HILAC (for heavy ion linear accelerator) to send nuclei of oxygen atoms barreling into another artificial element, californium. As occasional collisions occurred between the oxygen and californium nuclei, they fused and formed the heavier nucleus of element 106-but not for long. Like most artificial elements...

...decision time neared, 19 California Nobel prizewinners (including Willard F. Libby, Glenn T. Seaborg, Harold C. Urey and Linus Pauling) wrote the board in protest. In the letter, drafted by Arthur Kornberg, professor of biochemistry at Stanford's School of Medicine, the laureates said that the concessions were unacceptable...
...have more cooperation between American and Soviet scientists." Indeed, ever since the agreement last spring between Presidents Nixon and Podgorny to increase scientific cooperation, there has been a sharply increased flow of official and unofficial scientific visitors from the U.S.-Environmental Chief Russel Train, former AEC Chairman Glenn Seaborg and Oceanographer William Nierenberg of the Scripps Institution, to name only a few. One reason for this hospitality is the Kremlin's hope for access to advanced U.S. scientific gear, especially computers. The Russians are also after something else. As one longtime British scientific observer in Moscow...
...Seaborg foresees increased collaboration between American and Russian scientists on other projects, but his personal plan is to retire to California this fall to teach-and to resume the search for superheavy elements that won him a 1951 Nobel Prize. He hopes also to continue his campaign to dispel the growing notion, especially evident on college campuses, that science is intrinsically evil. "What is ironic," he says, "is that the very things the young people want to change can best be clone through their understanding and mastering of technology, of making technology their servant...
