L'appello di 110 premi Nobel
La minaccia maggiore per la pace mondiale verrà negli anni a venire non dai comportamenti irrazionali di stati o individui, ma dalle legittime richieste dei diseredati del mondo. La maggioranza di queste persone povere e senza diritti vive un'esistenza marginale nei climi equatoriali. Il surriscaldamento del pianeta - originato non da loro, bensì da pochi ricchi - colpirà soprattutto le loro fragili ecologie. La loro situazione sarà disperata e manifestamente ingiusta. Perciò non ci si può attendere che essi si accontentino sempre e comunque di aspettare la beneficenza dei ricchi. Se permetteremo dunque alla potenza devastante delle armi moderne di diffondersi in questo esplosivo paesaggio umano, innescheremo una conflagrazione in grado di travolgere tanto i ricchi quanto i poveri. La sola speranza per il futuro riposa nella collaborazione internazionale, legittimata dalla democrazia. È tempo di voltare le spalle alla ricerca unilaterale di sicurezza, in cui noi cerchiamo di rifugiarci dietro ai muri. Dobbiamo invece insistere nella ricerca dell'unità d'azione per contrastare sia il surriscaldamento del pianeta che un mondo armato. Questi obiettivi gemelli costituiranno due condizioni fondamentali per la stabilità, mentre ci muoveremo verso il più ampio grado di giustizia sociale che, esso solo, può dare una speranza di pace. Alcuni degli strumenti legali necessari sono già a portata di mano, come il trattato sui missili anti-balistici (Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty), la convenzione sui cambiamenti climatici (Convention on Climate Change), i trattatti strategici sulla riduzione di armi (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaties) e il Trattato sul bando dei test nucleari (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty). In quanto cittadini preoccupati, chiediamo a tutti i governi di impegnarsi per questi obiettivi, che costituiscono dei passi in avanti affinché il diritto prenda il posto della guerra.

Morphology, Growth and Destruction of Carbon Nanotubes As an important milestone in the history of carbon (C), the discovery of fullerenes has been honored by the 1996 Nobel prize to Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto and Richard E. Smalley . Since the identification of the C "buckyball" in 1985, the field of fullerenes has experienced unparalleled growth. Maybe the most intriguing new development is the successful synthesis of a new material that consists of 100% carbon. Latest research results from Smalley's research group at Rice University [1] indicate that this material consists of identical hollow "nanotubes" that are only 1.4 nano-meters (twice the size of the "buckyball") in diameter, but up to 0.1 milli-meters long. Hundreds of such nanotubes bundle to strong nanoropes. Some of the unique properties of nanotubes are their high tensile strength, which is near 100 times that of steel of the same dimension, at substantially lower weight. Their high stiffness towards bending exceeds that of known materials. Nanotubes are also very good electrical conductors. Individual nanotubes may be the thinnest man-made structures that are stiff enough to be self-supporting, and chemically inert in the atmosphere. The synthesis of this new material by laser-evaporation of graphite enriched by a nickel-cobalt alloy is relatively uncomplicated when measured by today's technology standards. The extremely high 80-90% efficiency of nanorope production from the raw material is intriguing, as it suggests catalytically assisted self-assembly on the atomic scale. Still, significantly more research will be needed before bulk production can be expected. Significant progress in this direction is reported from Richard E. Smalley's research group at the Rice

These twin goals will constitute vital components of stability as we move toward the wider degree of social justice that alone gives hope of peace.

    Raccolti dal canadese John Polany, Nobel per la chimica 1986, cento laureati all'Accademia di Stoccolma (sui 225 viventi) denunciano che "il più profondo pericolo per la pace mondiale viene dalle legittime richieste della maggioranza povera del mondo". Un documento che parla di clima e di trattato anti-missili, di poveri che reclamano e di muri costruiti dai ricchi, ma che finisce per colpire al cuore le scelte del paese più potente del mondo: gli Stati Uniti d'America Per sopravvivere nel mondo che abbiamo trasformato dobbiamo imparare a pensare in modo nuovo. Mai come oggi, il futuro di ciascuno dipende dal contributo di tutti.

    The look of campus is changing as the university embarks on several construction projects. The first one to be finished will be an addition to the Woolworth music building, a music library, which will be completed next summer, according to Jon D. Hlafter '61 *63, director of physical planning. By early October, the steel had been erected, and planners hope to have the building enclosed by winter. The addition will consolidate the music department, housed in Woolworth, and the music library, now in Firestone Library.
    Another project in the works on paper, though not on the ground, is a new dormitory located where Poe Court-the temporary housing erected last year on the field between 1922 Hall and Lewis Thomas Laboratory-used to be. The temporary housing was removed before the Class of 2000 arrived on campus in September. The university expects to begin construction on the new 260-bed dorm next spring or summer, said Hlafter, and complete it by the fall of 1998. One section of the building will likely be four stories and the rest of it will be three, said Hlafter. The dorm will have single bedrooms, with some grouped in suites and others sharing semiprivate bathrooms, he added. On each floor will be lounges, laundry facilities, and kitchens. The dorm, which will be designed by the Boston architectural firm of Machado and Silvetti, will form a courtyard with Butler College to the west.

    http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/chemweek/buckball/buckball.html
    BUCKYBALLS The discovery of a new form of a pure element is a rather rare occurrence, especially for a common element. Therefore, reports of such discoveries generate an unusual amount of excitement among scientists. An example is the discovery in 1985 of a new allotropic form of elemental carbon. The two well-known forms of elemental carbon are graphite and diamond. Both of these contain extended arrays of carbon atoms. In the new form, the carbon atoms are arranged in relatively small clusters of atoms. In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in sheets with the bonds between the atoms forming hexagons, something like chicken wire. The sheets are only weakly bonded to each other, so they slide past one another, giving graphite a slippery feel and making it a good lubricant. Graphite is also used extensively in studies of the surface effects of energy in the form of light, heat, and electric current. When graphite is subjected to large bursts of energy of these sorts, portions of the top sheet of carbon atoms are ripped out. The ejected portions are studied to learn how the energy interacts with the a solid surface. Kroto, Smalley, and Curl wondered how the atoms in this cluster are arranged to make it more stable than other clusters. They believed that its stability came from an arrangement in which all bonding capacity of the atoms is satisfied. In a small fragment of carbon-atom sheet ejected from a graphite surface, the atoms around the edge of the sheet would not be fully bonded. If, however, the sheet were to form into a ball so the edges would meet, the bonding capacity of all atoms would be satisfied. In thinking of how the atoms are arranged in this ball, the scientists considered the geodesic domes designed by the architect-engineer, R. Buckminster Fuller. These domes led them to suspect a structure of interlocking hexagons and pentagons, identical to those of a soccer ball. Because this idea was inspired by the geodesic dome, they named this C

    APS Members Share 1996 Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry
    I n October, the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to David Lee and Robert Richardson of Cornell University and Douglas Osheroff of Stanford University for their 1972 discovery of superfluidity in helium-3. This special liquid state of matter, which can flow without viscosity, was detected during a search for an antiferromagnetic phase in solid He-3, after the researchers chilled their sample to a temperature of about 2 microkelvins. Superfluidity was discovered in helium-4 in 1938, at the much warmer temperature of 2 kelvin. Superfluidity in He-3 is very different from He-4. For instance, the former is a fermion and the latter is a boson. And in He-4, the superfluid state is essentially a Bose-Einstein condensation of He atoms in a single quantum state, whereas the He-3 superfluid state is a condensation of pairs of atoms, which are magnetic and possess an internal structure. In fact, superfluid He-3 exists in three different phases related to different magnetic or temperature conditions. The highly anisotropic nature of the A phase (resembling a liquid crystal) was recently exploited in an experiment in which vortices set in motion within an He-3 sample simulated the formation of topological defects, or "cosmic strings," in the early universe. [See Nature, 25 July 1996] A graduate student at Cornell when the discovery was made, Osheroff went on to achieve the first experimental verification of the "baked Alaska" model, a theory first formulated by Anthony Leggett (University of Illinois) to explain the somewhat piecemeal transition from the A phase of superfluid He-3 into the lower-temperature B phase, by supposing that B-phase droplets can be nucleated within the supercooled A phase by the ionizing energy of passing cosmic rays.
