Recent developments in controlled fusion
This review of work under Project Sherwood, with emphasis on the Princeton stellarator program, is based on invited papers presented at the Northeastern Conference of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers on November 4, 1963, and at a meeting of the American Nuclear Society on January 6, 1964. Dr. Bishop is a physicist on the research staff of the Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory.
The physicist goes visiting…
Under the AAPT‐AIP Visiting Scientists Program in Physics, now in its seventh year, university physicists with both research and teaching interests will visit some 130 college physics departments in 1963–64. The author of the following commentary on one such visit and the college program as a whole is William W. Watson, professor of physics at Yale University, who is currently in charge of the program.
Symmetry and conservation laws
Professor Wigner's article is based on a paper presented on October 22, 1963, during a session on “The Nature of Matter” which was held as part of the program arranged in celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the National Academy of Sciences. This and other papers presented on that occasion will be published in the Proceedings of the Academy's centennial meeting.
