...Only 3½ miles from the Oak Park, Ill. home of Dr. Percy Lavon Julian, famed Negro chemist. Hoodlums tried to burn the Julian home in November, tossed a bomb in the front yard last month...
...Together Peter and Andy explored the meticulous egg-tempera technique, painting with small brushes on panels, which suits them both perfectly. The technique was standard during the Renaissance, and Wyeth says that "so much hokum has been written about it you feel you have to be a chemist to start on a picture." Wyeth's method is simple: for each day's work he mixes the yolk of one egg with a little distilled water, makes a paste of his powdered pigments...
Scientists who object to some of Author Meier's generalizations should have no trouble producing exceptions-e.g., Philadelphia Chemist Harry Gold and Manhattan Engineer Julius Rosenberg,who passed U.S. atomic secrets to the spy ring of which British Physicist Klaus Fuchs was the most notorious member...
...Famed Chemist Urey (Nobel Prize, 1934) proved three years ago that certain fossil sea shells can be used as fossil thermometers to measure "paleotemperatures." His method takes advantage of the fact that normal oxygen contains two stable isotopes, oxygen 18 and oxygen 16, in the proportion of 1 to 500. When a sea mollusk takes up calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to build its shell, the proportions of the oxygen isotopes in it vary with the temperature of the sea water. The warmer the water the less oxygen 18 is built into the shell...
