...three general addresses were made by 1) Robert A. Millikan, Professor of Physics, California Institute of Technology, and Nobel prizewinner for 1923, on The Atom as Seen by the Physicist. 2) Dr. Gilbert N. Lewis, Professor of Chemistry, University of California, on The Atom as Seen by the Chemist. 3) Dr. Edwin E. Slosson, Director of Science Service, and author of Creative Chemistry, on The Expansion of Chemistry. The Society also divided into the following general divisions, as well as many smaller sections: chemistry of medicinal products; organic chemistry; industrial and engineering chemistry; physical and inorganic chemistry...
...atomic symposium, some differences of opinion between the physicist and the chemist came to light. Said Prof. Millikan in substance...
...lower, and the frequency of radiation is proportional to the energy loss in the process. This is the Einstein-Bohr law of radiation, which has been amply verified in the past five years. As to what the electrons are doing when they are not radiating, chemists and physicists on the whole hold divergent views. The chemist believes the electrons are at rest (what I call "the loafer theory"), but the physicist believes they are rotating in orbits at enormous speed. The chemist argues that such activity would soon dissipate all their energy, which is unanswerable if the electromagnetic laws...
Nikola Tesla, Professor Bergen Davis, Columbia physicist, and other American scientists have been working on similar projects, and believe Grindell-Matthews' method thoroughly feasible. Practical aviators are inclined to scoff at the idea, but a number of such devices have been developed with partial success. The Britisher's invention will be offered to the British Government first, but, if not accepted, then to other nations. The French and German experimenters have not yet reached the efficiency of the Englishman's machine. It can also be used against infantry, either to kill or disable...
Professor Niels Bohr, the celebrated physicist from the University of Copenhagen is to give this afternoon in the lecture room of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory the first of two lectures on the theory of spectra and atomic constitution...
