...with his former University of Illinois colleagues, Leon N. Cooper, 42, now of Brown University, and John R. Schrieffer, 41, of the University of Pennsylvania. They were honored for their fundamental work on superconductivity, a phenomenon that occurs in certain metals when they are chilled close to absolute zero (minus 459.7° F.). In that state, they lose all resistance to the flow of electric current...
...each side of one of the faults that cross the thin 42-mile-long Aleutian island. A magnetometer on the side where the nuclear device was detonated quickly registered an increase of nine gammas* in the local magnetic field. On the opposite side of the fault from ground zero, the intensity of the magnetic field was found to have dropped by as much as eleven gammas after the test...
...first time in history, we know what form the Met's building will take forever. We can count every cubic foot of space we'll have. So now our policy is refinement rather than expansion. We're trying for zero population growth, weeding out and stabilizing the collection. Our criteria for de-accessioning are much stricter than our criteria for acquisition...
...first half. But at least the Crimson Defenders picked up some confidence. They'll need it. Unless the Broadway Local derails on its way from Morningside Heights to Baker Field before the game. Don Jackson will give the Harvard defense a wretched afternoon. Nevertheless, the Lions muddled to a zero-zero tie with Princeton, so they may not be overpowering, Harvard...
Advocates of zero population growth about four years ago began urging couples who wanted children to "stop at two." At first their campaign seemed to be having little impact. Last week, however, Government statistics showed that for the first time in U.S. history, the fertility level has dropped to 2.1 births per woman. This means that the fertility rate is down to the replacement level: if it continues at that level for a few more generations, and if emigration equals immigration, the number of births every year will just offset the number of deaths, and the U.S. population will become...
