...neutral oxygen atom in the high solar atmosphere and under a peculiar state of excitation has been definitely found to coincide with analysis of three of the strongest coronal lines. For years "coronium" a purely hypothetical element, had been considered the cause of the radiations from the sun's corona, just as the light of nebulae was long attributed to the mythical "nebulium...
Production of "heavy water," a new substance in which the hydrogen atom has a mass of two instead of one, is new possible due to recent experimental research by Arthur A. Frost, Harvard Fellow in Chemistry, and others at Princeton, New Jersey...
This new liquid, priced at $150 a gram, can now be made at the rate of one thimbleful at a time, where formerly only a single drop was produced. "Heavy water" will be useful to physicists studying the structure of the atom...
