...would ever fail," inquired the program notes, "to understand the vibrations of hydrogen, if he had felt them while dancing with a beautiful living atom in his arms?

Then two atoms in black, carbons, emerge and grab four hydrogens each. Their kinetic freedom lost, the hydrogens now execute vibrations around the carbon atoms (methane...
Thus with great fanfare was launched a new flexible safety glass, billed as the best ever. Five companies cooperated in the research which produced it-Carbide & Carbon Chemicals Corp., E.

Last week he pointed out that animals make structural adaptations to the available oxygen supply as to any other environmental circumstance. Frogs and toads living in oxygen-deficient waters grow abnormally large, those in oxygen-abundant waters abnormally small. South American lungfish develop extra gills when they...
