Van Vleck and magnetism

Philip W. Anderson
OpenURL
Show Topic
Through his work on crystal field theory, paramagnetism, resonance spectroscopy and quantum theory, one man turned magnetism into a field too large for any one man.

The 10‐GeV synchrotron at Cornell

Boyce D. Mcdaniel and Albert Silverman
OpenURL
Show Topic
A new electron accelerator, to be dedicated this month, continues the tradition at Cornell University. Elementary‐particle research, including tests of quantum electrodynamics in electromagnetic interactions and studies of the vector‐meson family, will benefit.

Interstellar transport

Freeman J. Dyson
OpenURL
Show Topic
Two space‐ship designs show that nuclear‐bomb detonations could take over from chemical propulsion as an energy source for long‐range space travel. If our economic growth continues at its present rate, interstellar voyages with ships like these could begin in about 200 years' time.

The status‐discussion meeting as an antidote to superconferences

Michael J. Moravcsik
OpenURL
Show Topic
Researchers actively engaged in a fairly narrow field of physjcs may exchange ideas in a more effective manner by meeting in small informal groups rather than in large formal conferences.

The Deutsches Museum and how it succeeds

R. Hobart Ellis, Jr
OpenURL
Show Topic
With exhibits that combine historical perspective and current practices, the largest and probably best institution of its kind offers an overall view of exact sciences to the widest possible audience.
