...touchable fabrics fetish, April Cornell is an excellent store to browse--not just for dresses or linens, but also for "touchable" glassware, furniture, and even candles. The staff is surprisingly relaxed and friendly, clad in chic April Cornell originals (direct from Canada--ooh la la!). Assistant manager Emily J. Shull explains that "it's a nice place to browse even if you're not going to buy anything. I think we just have beautiful things." Even so, she concedes that she doesn't see very many Harvard students shopping in the store (not a surprise...
...dresses and linens alike. This spring's best-selling dress is pale violet with a creamy white magnolia bloom and green stemmed print. Long, loose, and rayon with small horizontal pleats across the chest, it sells for $69. Most dresses share a similar style, cut generously to be what Shull describes as "comfortable and functional." Cornell also carries remarkably cute children's clothing. A girl's play dress in the yellow, blue and green "Fields of Clover" pattern has alternating yellow and blue buttons down the front and comes with a doll wearing the same outfit. A cloth...
...solid, and these subatomic particles will bounce off the atoms inside. The angles at which the quantum bullets ricochet tell scientists how the target atoms are arranged. That knowledge has already led to advances in semiconductors and may someday explain the bizarre phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity. Clifford Shull, now retired from M.I.T., and Bertram Brockhouse from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, helped perfect neutron-scattering techniques in the 1940s and '50s. Today, nearly a half-century later, they have Nobels to show for it. Ironically, the man who did the pioneering work in the field, Shull's mentor Ernest...
...American and a Canadian won the Nobel Prize in Physics for developing a new way to study the building blocks of all matter -- atoms and molecules. The $930,000 physics prize will be shared by Clifford G. Shull of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Bertram N. Brockhouse of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Both developed a way to probe atomic structure by knocking off neutrons from particles of matter...
