...electron theory is far older than Professor Bohe," he said, "but he did invent a model of the atom which so far has been more successful than any other in explaining certain well known facts in spectrum analysis. His model is probably the most successful and interesting to the physicist that has ever been conceived. His work has been more to establish certain facts about the electron than to prove its existence...
...reading this article, Dr. Mulliken, who has previously studied isotopes at the University of Chicago, began his experiments in Cambridge to prove that the unrelated spectrum bands were due to the isotopes of the boron atom...
...radio fans of the Island Empire " listened in " on their radio sets to a polysyllabic discourse on " why inexhaustible light and power can never be provided by the harnessed energy of the elusive atom." Great was the uproar next day from thousands of radioites. " Why did you do it ?" the director of the broadcasting programs was asked. His answer was as abstruse as the subject that prompted the question. Henceforth the radio fans are eager to receive jazz. (For a scientific account of this speech, see page...
...clock tonight in the large lecture room of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, Dr. E. C. Kemble, G. '14, will give the second of a series of three lectures on Physics, taking for his subject, "Atomic Explosions". This particular phase of Physics has been chosen on account of the wide interest taken by the public in the recent important discoveries which have thrown light on the composition and behavior of the atom. Dr. Kemble is well fitted to discuss the subject, having done much advanced research work in this field...
...matter is made up of "electrons," particles of negative electricity, and "protons," particles of positive electricity. The smallness of the electron is beyond human comprehension. Its diameter is about 30 trillionths of an inch. The most powerful microscope known would barely enable us to see an object 200 atoms wide, and if an atom were about the size of a large office building, an electron would be the size of a pinhead. Professor Thomson was Cavendish professor of experimental physics in Cambridge University from 1884 un- til 1918. During that time he developed a great research laboratory which attracted workers...
