...larger models. While this type of integrated circuit was developed in the U.S., Japanese companies have proved adept at efficiently turning them out in mass volumes. Part of the problem is a difference in high-tech corporate culture. Says Richard Skinner, president of Integrated Circuit Engineering, a Scottsdale, Ariz., semiconductor-research firm: "In the U.S., the real glamour jobs are in designing the chips. But in Japan the manufacturing guys are equal." Indeed, each time U.S. companies have developed a larger-capacity memory chip (first the 1K dynamic RAM, then the 4K, 16K, 64K and now the 256K), Japanese manufacturers...
...astronomers then switched from infrared to radio observations, using the twelve-meter radio telescope atop Kitt Peak, Ariz. Reason: infrared radiation gives information on the cloud's overall temperature, but radio waves carry more detailed data on the motion within. Interstellar clouds are made up of dozens of different types of molecules, and each emits radio waves of a specific frequency when heated or otherwise "excited." By tuning their telescope to the right frequency, astronomers monitor the behavior of different molecules and consequently learn more about conditions within the cloud...
