...there has been no efficient way in the past of enabling concentrators in Biology to learn about the research in that field, the society has made arrangements for groups of them to meet with the researchers and to learn about their experiments. The research men also explain the apparatus used...
...struck so frequently, researchers of General Electric Co., looking for light on lightning (to help them protect transmission lines) began to photograph it from another building. The research was under the direction of Karl Boyer McEachron, 48, G. E.'s ace lightning researcher, who has been designing experimental apparatus Pittsfield for 16 years, has produced artificial bolts of 10,000,000 volts, others of 250,000 amperes (amperage is the amount of current, voltage the pressure which drives it). Last week Engineer McEachron reported the results of three summers of Empire State Building study...
...research is made possible through the development of an "electron bombardment" furnace, in which metals have been heated, without contamination up to temperatures of bout 1500 degrees Fahrenheit, or nearly half that of the sun. Much higher temperatures could be easily reached by this apparatus, the Harvard scientists...
These preliminary experiments have indicated that out of the fifty-five metallic elements, only six have melting points beyond the reach of the Harvard apparatus in its present state. These are carbon, melting at 6300 degrees Fahrenheit; tungsten, at 6066 degrees; rhenium, at 5400 degrees; tantalum, at 5130 degrees; osium, at 4860 degrees and molybdenum at 4716 degrees...
