Extractions: NOBEL LAUREATE TO LECTURE AT UWA Two world-renowned physicists, one a Nobel Laureate will take part in final stage of The University of Western Australia's 'Science at the New Millennium' program later this month The University of Western Australia's Institute of Advanced Studies will host eminent physicists, Professors Joseph Taylor and Thibault Damour, to conclude the program in which nine cutting-edge scientists in all areas of research and endeavour have shared their experiences with the University's academic community and the public. Professor Taylor, now at Princeton University in the United States, was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1993 for his 1974 discovery, with Russell A. Hulse, of the first binary pulsar, a discovery that opened up new possibilities for the study of gravitation. This unique phenomenon - two stars orbiting each other and one of them giving off regular radio-frequency 'beeps' - has been important as a deep space proving ground for Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. Professor Taylor and his laboratory continue to explore problems in astrophysics and gravitational physics. Recent highlights include the discovery of many new pulsars, including millisecond and binary pulsars.

Extractions: One of the most fascinating predictions of relativity theory is that massive objects in vehement motion emit a new kind of radiation, known as gravitational radiation. This phenomenon is also described as a wave motion, as ripples in the curvature of space-time, and we speak of "gravitational waves." No one has yet succeeded in recording a gravitational wave in a terrestrial or extraterrestrial receiver, but the Hulse-Taylor pulsar has convinced us that this type of radiation actually exists. This is because the orbiting period of the pulsar around its companion gradually diminishes with time extremely little, but in exactly the way the general theory of relativity predicts, as a result of the emission of gravitational waves.

Extractions: Two scientists who used chicken wire and government surplus parts in their research at the University of Massachusetts and found an exotic celestial oddity called a binary pulsar have won the Nobel Prize for physics, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced yesterday. Joseph H. Taylor Jr. and Russell A. Hulse, now at Princeton University, made the discovery while both were at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Yesterday's announcement marks the first time work done by researchers at UMass has been so honored, a university spokesman said. "There's been a lot of jubilation in the astronomy and physics departments today," said a UMass spokesman, who added that ceremonies to honor the laureates were expected soon. The $825,000 prize was awarded for the first detection of a binary pulsar, a kind of aged, collapsed star emitting prodigious amounts of energy, orbiting another similar object. The discovery by Taylor and Hulse launched a flurry of research in astrophysics that continues today and led to the most precise test yet of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

Extractions: Charming as the story of using chicken wire to help win a Nobel Prize may be, the triumph of two former University of Massachusetts professors is a reminder of the importance of adequate funding in basic sciences at both state and federal levels. The detection of binary pulsars by Joseph H. Taylor and Russell E. Hulse was a landmark achievement, providing important affirmation of aspects of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. The work of these two astrophysicists, and others like them, depends heavily on continuing support for basic scientific research. Their presence at UMass-Amherst in the 1970s was in part the consequence of a major state effort to bolster the school's academic excellence. Its aggregation of outstanding scientists made the university a significant center of research. While it is impressive that UMass has been able to sustain elements of that excellence despite lapses in the level of support during stretches of fiscal constraint, it is clear that any such program requires continuous, long-term support. At the federal level, funding for basic research is essential to overall excellence in the scientific community. Applied research that ultimately yields products and services for the general public will always be enhanced by basic research, even as abstract as that done by Taylor and Hulse.

Extractions: ARECIBO, Puerto Rico It is a space-age sentinel, rising out of the prehistoric jungles of Puerto Rico a 1,000-foot (305-meter) diameter aluminum "ear," cocked perpendicular to Earth, leaning into the sky, listening. For 37 years radio astronomers at the Arecibo Observatory have used this, the world's largest radio telescope, to fathom the radio signals of the cosmos. It has tuned in on the tumultuous songs buried in the hearts of stars and quasars that radiate from the very edge of the universe. Closer to home, it has lent an ear to random radio emissions emanating from 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) within the upper atmosphere. More Stories Located 12 miles (19 kilometers) from the coastal city of Arecibo, the facility requires a full-time staff of 140. Most of them are technicians and engineers, and nearly 30 are astronomers and engineers from countries as different as India, Uruguay, Great Britain, Sweden, Belgium and United States. Using the catwalk, Reinaldo Velez, chief telescope technical operator, reaches the 900-ton reflector suspended 450 feet (137 meters) above the radio telescope.
