...popular culture is no longer indifferent to them. Observes Byrne: "In the past, traditional artists didn't care what the public thought. More recently people want to show their stuff to a wider audience and be accepted. People like Anderson and Glass don't consider it selling out to approach a popular audience...
...late 1950s Herschbach proposed to study what happens to individual molecules in the trillionth of a second of a chemical reaction by using the crossed molecular beam technique. Colleagues thought he was crazy, but this novel approach proved to be useful -- especially in the following years, when Lee made improvements that substantially increased the variety of reactions that could be studied this way. The method is analogous to that of particle physicists, who accelerate beams of speeding subatomic particles, smash them together or into a target, and then study the resulting debris. Herschbach's and Lee's beams consist...
Polanyi took a different approach. He studied chemical reactions by analyzing the faint infrared light emitted when molecules link up to form new substances, a phenomenon known as chemiluminescence. Says Polanyi: "You can see the dance of the molecules as they break up and are created." One application: the radiation can be amplified to produce a powerful new class of lasers...
...Ghermezian approach is indisputably successful. Sales revenues for the complex last year totaled $560 million. That take is the equivalent of $280 per sq. ft. of retail space, which is twice the rate of a typical U.S. retail outlet...
...feel the University's approach technically trains the student to be a good scientist, but has basically left the student on his own as what to do with that knowledge," Mendelsohn told about 30 students in the Union last night...
