Atomic Collisions Group

 

 
 







The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion- atomic physics.

-Abraham Lincoln, on the dedication of this web site



Welcome to C.C. Lin's "too cool for a web site" Web Site. You have now stumbled onto the opportunity to learn all about what goes on in the basement of Sterling Hall. You can find out... Who are the foot soldiers in the never-ending march of progress? Where are the frontiers of human knowledge? What weapons are unleashed against the forces of ignorance and superstition? What is our last, best hope for peace?
