Japan's efforts have been fruitful. In the past decade the Japanese have built 11 plants in the U.S. and Canada with the capacity to make 2.6 million cars...
...search for simplicity at the deepest levels of nature is one of the enduring themes of physics. Perhaps the greatest milestone in this quest has been the quark model of matter. In the early 1960s, theorists proposed that the scores of known subatomic particles were really composites, made up of just a handful of smaller particles. Even protons and neutrons, the major components of atomic nuclei, could be described as being made of these more fundamental objects, called quarks...
