Omega-Minus Signature. The unknown particle predicted by the eightfold way was named omega minus, and both CERN Laboratory in Geneva and Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island started elaborate campaigns to find it. Brookhaven's apparatus was built around the 33-bev (billion electron volt) Alternating Gradient Synchrotron...
The college of the fast-approaching future will need all manner of automated devices, from closed-circuit TV to dial systems that will order a central computer to dish up information or solve knotty math problems. Already some new buildings are being designed entirely around machines. At the University of...
The process is laborious, costly and slow, and not yet adaptable to highspeed printing. Merely to pose the static picture in last week's Look took two full days of work with a one-ton, cubical camera as complicated as an electronic computer. Five additional weeks were required to...
But President Joseph Callies and his staff were not prepared for the high cost and complexities of computer making. In an overly ambitious decision, Machines Bull jumped from making small units directly to producing the Gamma 60, a costly ($1,000,000 to $3,000,000) marvel that can calculate...
The greatest promise offered by microcircuitry, apart from smallness, is reliability. Using 1,243 microcircuits, Sperry Rand has compressed a big Univac computer into a 6-in. box; it is expected to run continuously for two years. Since microcircuits are so tiny, several backup circuits can be installed to take...
