...uninspired effort," said Harvard women's field hockey captain Lucy Wood, following the stickwomen's fourth tie in as many Ivy outings, a 0-0 "thriller" (please detect that ting of sarcasm) with Brown in lovely Providence (now you know for sure I'm being sarcastic...
Nobel Prize winners William N. Lipscomb, Lawrence Professor of Chemistry, and MIT professor Samuel C.C. Ting remain in Sweden after receiving their Nobel awards at a ceremony last Friday. They are two of seven men who received the awards in the American sweep of this year's Nobel Prizes...
...Richter, 45, and Ting, 40, who will share the $162,140 physics award, recognition came much sooner than to most Nobel laureates, who often wait a decade or longer before the importance of their work is acknowledged by the Royal Academy. The two physicists won their prize for discoveries reported two years ago. In November 1974 Ting, who had been working at New York's Brookhaven National Laboratory, visited Richter at Stanford and told him he had just discovered a new member of the "subatomic zoo," the ever growing list of tiny particles identified in experiments with giant atom...
Charmed Particle. The bit of matter, called the J particle by Ting and the psi particle by Richter, gave solid experimental support to the evolving theory that the basic building blocks of matter are a family of particles called quarks. It provided strong evidence for the existence of the fourth quark, one that has the property that scientists whimsically call "charm." Since the simultaneous findings by Richter and Ting, at least seven more members of the J, or psi, particle family have been discovered, further strengthening the quark theory...
...quiet, intense man who commutes between M.I.T. and the giant particle accelerator at the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, where he is now conducting experiments, Ting was not surprised at the news of his award. The discovery of the J particle, he says frankly, was "revolutionary." Brooklyn-born Richter. who plays squash to keep his weight under control, took his sudden fame philosophically. Says he of his discovery: "I see no immediate practical application of this discovery except in improving the understanding of the universe." But he also remembers that Lord Rutherford, the great British physicist...
