Neutrino Oscillations and Solar Neutrinos

Lincoln Wolfenstein and Eugene W. Beier
OpenURL
Show Topic
The hypothesized quantum mechanical process in which neutrinos transform from one ‘flavor’ into another can be studied by observing solar neutrinos with a new generation of highly sensitive detectors.

The Discovery of Nuclear Fission

Emilio G. Segrè
OpenURL
Show Topic
Fermi's group bombarded uranium with neutrons in 1934, but it was almost five years before Hahn and Strassmann realized what these neutrons were actually doing. It required superb chemists to bring the comedy of errors to a close.

Liquids, Crystals and Liquid Crystals

Joel D. Brock, Robert J. Birgeneau, J. David Litster, and Amnon Aharony
OpenURL
Show Topic
Concepts developed to explain melting in two dimensions and multicritical phenomena in three dimensions lead to a detailed model for the growth and structures of smectic liquid crystal materials.
