In the Quest of the Absolute or Real Zero Temperature, Known to be 273 Degrees Centigrade or 459 Degrees Fahrenheit Below Our More Familiar "Zero," Scientists Have Now Come Within One-Twentieth of a Degree of Their Long-Sought Goal

With the discovery of the neutron, science now has one more physical entity to juggle with. Though some of the press appears several weeks ago to have given the impression that the neutron was a brand new lucky strike, physicists have suspected for years that some such thing was "hiding out" and if sought would sooner or later be brought to light by experiment. The accompanying discussion is more mature than it could have been had it been written earlier. It was especially prepared for the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN by a writer, himself a Cambridge man, who is in close personal touch with the principals now engaged in the brilliant researches going on in the famous Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, England.—The Editor.
