Nuclear Magnetic Ordering at Nanokelvin Temperatures
Physics Today 42 (10), 26–33 (1989);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881204
If you cool a suitable metal such as copper to sufficiently low temperatures, its nuclei will align spontaneously; susceptibility and neutron diffraction experiments have detected the effect and have set a new low‐temperature record in the process.
Pathological Science
Physics Today 42 (10), 36–48 (1989);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881205
Certain symptoms seen in studies of ‘N rays’ and other elusive phenomena characterize 'the science of things that aren't so.’
In Defense of Confidentiality
Physics Today 42 (10), 57–59 (1989);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881206
As lawyers from two factions exchanged arguments, the protective anonymity surrounding reviewers of scientific manuscripts hung in the balance.
