...prizemen is Dr. Erwin Schrodinger, 46, who shares this year's award with Dr. Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac. Dr. Dirac is only 31, as is Dr. Werner Heisenberg, to whom went the belated 1932 award.* All three have been busy prying into the unimaginably small interior of the atom...
...electrons with the properties of waves or pulsations. Erwin Schrodinger then began work which led to a potent development of this idea. He replaced the classical equations for electron motion with new differential equations similar to those which describe the wave motion which constitutes light and sound. Thus the atom is conceived as a positive nucleus wrapped in a throbbing field of negative electricity. To expound these ticklish ideas to U. S. scientists slim, smallish, pleasant-spoken Dr. Schrodinger journeyed to the U. S. few years ago, lectured at Caltech and other universities in excellent English. Born and educated...
Theoretical physics last week again proved that it has substance. The lightest element, hydrogen, has an atomic weight of 1.0078. The helium atom, next lightest in the table of elements, weighs 4.002. Are there no substances in between, with atomic weights of approximately...

...that the corona, though mostly scattered sunlight, was partly self-luminous. What element made it so? Not knowing, they called it "coronium." As recently as last year, in a standard work on eclipses, "coronium" was treated with respect. The Menzel-Boyce report unmasks it as mostly oxygen in bizarre atomic metamorphoses. The normal oxygen atom has eight orbital electrons. Menzel & Boyce proceeded to imagine oxygen atoms in such a state of excitation that electrons could skip freely from one orbit to another. Such excited atoms, according to quantum theory, should have energy levels differing from each other by precise amounts...
