The search for element 102

Albert Ghiorso and Torbjorn Sikkeland
OpenURL
Show Topic
Recent experiments at Berkeley have made it possible to clarify the complex history of the discovery of element 102. It is proposed that the old name, “nobelium,” be accepted.

Optical methods for the study of radio‐frequency resonances

Alfred Kastler
OpenURL
Show Topic
The double resonance method and optical pumping technique have led to advances in the study of nuclear spins and magnetic moments, electron magnetic moments, multiple‐quantum transitions, and nuclear hyperfine interactions. Excitation by electron impact has permitted the study of atomic levels not accessible with resonance radiation.

Are most stars members of double‐star systems?

Louis Winkler
OpenURL
Show Topic
Many a single point of light in your telescope is two or more stars orbiting closely about the center of mass. Much information is available from these double‐star systems, which are closer to natural experiments than any other astronomical phenomenon.

Thomson's dilemma

Bernard S. Finn
OpenURL
Show Topic
Unsuccessful thermodynamic treatment of heat conduction and resistance heating led William Thomson, later Lord Kelvin, to neglect these irreversible processes and still get satisfactory results for thermoelectric phenomena.
