...work, and the stage, even in vasty, gusty Chicago, would be small and local compared to the Interior and PWA. Getting the nomination in February's primary might not be easy, either. State's Attorney Tom Courtney, able and fearless, is burning to be the Nash-Kelly smasher...
...workers at the University of Upsala bombarded the hemocyanin particles with quanta of energy in the form of ultraviolet light. Certain wave lengths of the bombarding radiation split the blood pigment molecules into halves. This was like splitting inorganic atoms in a high-voltage atom-smasher...
Jovial young Physicist Ernest Orlando Lawrence has an 85-ton atom smasher at Berkeley, Calif. Intrigued by the Lawrence cyclotron, promoters of the Golden Gate International Exposition asked if they could borrow it to smash atoms for next year's fair. Physicist Lawrence, who was deep in experimentation, pointed to the protective wall of six-foot-high water tanks surrounding the cyclotron, explained that neutrons flying free as hail around an exhibition room might settle in the tissues of spectators, even render them sterile. The exposition officials hastily retired, and last fortnight they hatched plans to exhibit a model...
Lord Rutherford, discoverer of the atom's nucleus, pioneer atom-smasher and fourth Cavendish Professor, died last year...
Some $75,000 of Baron Austin's money will go for modernizing the lecture halls. A big new laboratory for research on the atom-with library, conference room and tea room-will eat up $500,000. Another $50,000 went into a 36-ft. high-voltage atom-smasher. This hurls atomic bullets at controlled energies up to 2,000,000 electron-volts. Still another $30,000 was laid out for a cyclotron-an atom-smashing machine of the type invented by the University of California's Ernest Orlando Lawrence, which spirals atomic bullets up to huge speeds...
