While security guards and Harvard University Police Department officers carried metal-detector wands to screen visitors, their scans were few and far between, and lines of people moved through gates into the Yard at a relatively quick pace...
...recent winter day, more than 2,000 ft. below the surface of the McArthur River mine, Dale Powder operated a scoop tram from a niche in the rock wall 100 ft. or so from the vehicle. He wore a hard hat and rubber boots, a radiation detector and a shoulder harness with a pair of joysticks that he manipulated through his heavy work gloves. The scoop tram looked like a dump truck with the cab lopped off. On solid-rubber tires 5 ft. high, it carried freshly mined ore in soccer-ball-size chunks to the "grizzly," the big grated...
...piece created especially for the show used chopped-up footage of piano strings being plucked in sync with the audio, while another composition featured a buzzing acupuncture point detector that was pressed against various points of Schmidt’s body and enlarged for the audience with a live video feed. Captivating and thoroughly enjoyable, the duo’s vivid imagery and even more vivid music bridged performance and process, recreating the act of composition onstage and refashioning the link between sound and equipment that often gets lost amidst the technology...

Getting past them to work is a lot like getting on a plane these days: every employee as well as every visitor has to go through a metal detector and then get searched by a guard using an electronic hand wand...
...That alone was Nobel-worthy work, but Davis also found that there were only about a third the predicted number of particles. Theorists struggled for decades to understand why; finally, in the late 1990s, Koshiba?s Super-Kamiokande detector in Japan proved that the missing neutrinos had really just converted into another form, undetectable by Davis's machine (for complex reasons, this also implied that neutrinos, long thought to be massless, actually do have a tiny mass...
