...Urey's heavy hydrogen did not burst entirely unexpectedly upon the world, nor was its discovery in any way an accident. It was rather the result of ingenuity backed by sound logic. There were discrepancies in atomic weights. The oxygen atom should have weighed 16 times as much as the hydrogen atom, but it did not. Then it was found that oxygen had two isotopes* weighing 17 and 18 units respectively. Thus it began to seem more & more probable that hydrogen might also have one or more isotopes of its own. Birge of the University of California and Menzel...
...Mighty Atom" Will Bear Watching...
...former regime who at last will be given a real opportunity to prove his ability. This lad Aieta a hard-running shifty back whose long runs and brilliant playing were a feature of the Virginia contest, will bear careful watching by the Harvard secondary. Phil Conti, the sophomore "mighty atom", Jack Kenny, who saw service as quarterback last year, and Johnny Handrahan, the hardy fullback who is capable of playing sixty minutes of football and has featured every game this season with his long runbacks of punts, complete the backfield...
...Atom Guns. The two most powerful U. S. generators of electricity to shoot at atoms are Professor Lawrence's 5,000,000-volt generator at Berkeley and Professor Robert J. Van de Graaff's 10,000,000-volt one at Round Hill, Mass. Professor Lawrence gets his effect by whirling a loin. disk in an 85-ton magnet. Last week he said that he was substituting a 40-in. disk, to get 20,000,000-voltage. In Professor Van de Graaff's machine moving paper belts brush static electricity upon huge metal balls. A modification, for which...
...Curie-Joliot elements were all briefly radioactive, and all quickly returned to their original bases. The Curie-Joliot work proved that theorists have a pretty accurate understanding of how the atom works. By-&-by an engineer may use the information to make a steam engine run more efficiently. Metallurgists may make better kinds of stainless steel. Physiologists may prevent rickets and tooth decay, treat cancer...
