This was the world's first uranium pile. Within it, if all went well, would rage the first nuclear chain reaction. Physicist Enrico Fermi, Italian-born Nobel Prizewinner, was sure that all would go well. He had figured every smallest detail, advancing through theory and mathematics far into the unknown...
From the University faculty, Dr. Leon Brillouin, atomic physicist and visiting lecturer, and Bart J. Bok, associate professor of Astronomy, will explain the purposes of the organization and how it can cement relations between Europe and the rest of the world. Joining Brillouin on the European problems in particular will be Dr. Karl Deutsch of M.I.T...
...commission, which, as Lilienthal said, "will be pioneering in uncharted fields," includes, besides the former T.V.A. administrator, a physicist, a banker, an editor and a government bureaucrat. By law they are required to devote all their working hours to the atom problem. Except for Lilienthal and Sumner Pike, a former member of the Securities and Exchange Commission, none of the new boardmen has had experience in governmental activity. It would be disastrous, after wresting the power of the atom out of the hands of the Army, to put it in the hands of a logrolling candidate of Senator McKellar...
Considered by many the world's leading atomic physicist, Nobel Prize winner Nils Bohr of Denmark, will speak to a select audience of science concentrators this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the lecture hall of the Mallinkrodt Chemical Laboratory. His subject will be the "Present State of the Elementary Theory of Particles...
...around the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute, whence the news of uranium fission had first startled the scientific world in 1939. They went down into the cellar, dismantled the big cyclotron, packed it carefully off to Stalinland. Among the men they carried off was Baron Manfred von Ardenne, 39, a brilliant physicist...
