摘要:

WHILE most citizens, including scientists, are aware that the last decade has seen radical changes in their world and in their relationship to society, it still has come somewhat as a shock to the scientist, in particular, to discover the sudden rise in his importance as a critical natural resource—an importance perhaps as great, he is led to believe, as that of iron or anthracite or even petroleum. He has nevertheless become reconciled to the notion of being conserved and stockpiled like other useful substances and has submitted to the dissection and examination of his talents by statisticians and of his past by agents of the FBI.

摘要:

ATHEORETICAL MODEL designed to describe the motion of cosmic rays through our galaxy as “a random motion between scattering centers represented by moving magnetized clouds” has been offered in a recent paper a to clarify the conditions needing to be satisfied by any attempt to explain the origin of cosmic rays.

摘要:

The institute's year of 1953 has been marked by a new record in the number of pages published and the number of members and subscribers served. Most of the costs involved in rendering these services reached a new high as did also the number of staff employees required for the volume of work. The Institute's building has reached the point of inadequacy and various recourses for more space are under study.Physics Todayhas successfully come through its first year of free circulation to all members without too much financial strain and is well launched on a second year of progress with increasing advertising support. Beyond direct services to members, the Institute has continued to concern itself with scientific manpower in its many aspects. A number of other specific projects have been undertaken or are being planned.

摘要:

The conference on January 25–27 at Rochester demonstrated that considerable progress has been made in our experimental understanding of the fundamental properties of nucleons and mesons and their mutual interactions during the past year, but that theoretical insight into the meaning of these results still leaves much to be desired. This was the fourth in the series of annual conferences organized by Professor R. E. Marshak and jointly sponsored by a group of Rochester industries and the National Science Foundation. These informal sessions serve as a meeting ground for representatives from most American and several European laboratories actively engaged in high‐energy nuclear physics and cosmic‐ray research, and have proved extremely valuable both for clarifying the amount of progress already made and the outstanding problems yet to be solved. In view of the wealth of material discussed. I have singled out only a few topics for detailed discussion in what follows.
