...this area, Bryan pointed out, the average rainfall per month normally does not vary from month to month. However, in the summer, due to the increased heat, there is often less precipitation than in the colder months. Such is the case now, and at the present time the supply of water in the reservoirs...
Normally, the atoms point every which way; but when the crystals are placed in a strong magnetic field, they line up in one direction. The lining-up process warms the crystals slightly. Then the magnetic field is removed. The atom-magnets point at random again, and the crystals get colder than they were at the start. This method works fine down to about two-thousandths of one degree above absolute zero...
...this point the scientists use the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei. When certain materials (e.g., lithium fluoride) are placed in a strong magnetic field, the nuclei of their atoms also line up. When the magnetism is removed, the lithium fluoride gets colder. This method promises to yield a temperature only one-millionth of a degree above absolute zero...
...final round, Betger squared off against a fellow San Franciscan, Ken Towns, 20, student at San Mateo Junior College and part-time handyman about Crystal Springs golf course. The policeman's tee shots, true all week, began to go awry and his putter couldn't have been colder if it had been on ice. Towns closed out the match on the 33rd hole...
