Physicist Emilio Segrč, a 1959 Nobelman for his explorations into the Alice-Through-the-Looking-Glass world of antimatter, is a master of pure theory. Virologist John Enders, with his struggles to understand submicroscopic organisms, has...
Charles Hard Townes, 45, saw no reason to waste time while he waited for a restaurant to open one morning ten years ago. So he sat on a park bench and pondered a problem in physics: how to produce microwaves shorter than any that had previously been generated. Before he...
