...tissue are so long that, although their net charge is zero or nearly zero, the positive charge is concentrated at one end, the negative at the other end. The distance between them is a factor in the dipole moment, which is, roughly speaking, a measure of electric leverage. Dr. Cohn measured the charges and the dipole moments by observing molecular behavior under a bombardment of radio waves. If some stimulus discharged the positive tension at one end, the negative charge would redistribute itself, affecting other molecules. If these molecules twitched in response to the charge, their movements would generate...
...Chemist W. M. Cohn of Berkeley, Calif, described the solar furnace invented in Germany which he uses for high-temperature work. It consists of a coelostat (flat mirror geared to follow the sun) which feeds the rays into a concave reflector whence they are sharply focused on the substance under treatment. Dr. Cohn uses the sun furnace to make a clear, yellowish, glassy lining for kilns out of zirconium oxide. A half-minute under the reflector melts the oxide at 4,850° F. Higher temperatures than this have been obtained in electric furnaces, but Dr. Cohn believes that...
