...Like A Rolling Stone" as if he didn't even know what the words meant, just coasting through them like Perry Como. And there were rumors that he would make a Hollywood movie produce a Broadway musical. It was like hearing a friend. newly emerged from a siege of electro-therapy, his brain burned into a gray powder, say over and over, "Nice weather we're having...
...next slide shows an electric possibility. This is one we made in this instance in a Corvair and we made it into an electro-vair by putting in a bunch of silver zinc batteries. The engineering requirements was that it be able to operate in terms of performance as well as the gasoline powered...
...Einstein pointed out that an atom or molecule stimulated by an electro-magnetic wave (light, for example) would give off a basic unit of light called the photon, which would have the same wave length as the stimulating wave. A number of subsequent experiments proved Einstein correct. But not until 1958 did Physicists Arthur Schawlow and Charles Townes describe a device that they thought would be able to stimulate molecules of gas confined in a cylinder until they gave off photons in an intense and powerful stream. Their device was a variation of Townes's earlier Nobel Prizewinning invention...
...molecular structure is similar to that of solid crystals such as diamonds, mica and quartz. The crystals themselves are not new, but it was only recently that scientists discovered that an electrical charge makes them light-reflecting; the higher the voltage, the greater the reflecting power. At first, this "electro-optical effect" could be shown only in the laboratory, since the crystals reacted to electricity only at certain temperatures. Now, after trying more than 100 compounds, RCA scientists have produced a crystal that responds to even small amounts of electricity throughout a temperature range from 20° F. to more...
Such uses of liquid crystals' electro-optical potential could be applied soon to a whole new generation of sports scoreboards, traffic-control signs, stock-market tickers, and instrument panels in cars and aircraft. Besides drawing very little power, the devices would work perfectly well in ordinary daylight, since liquid crystals reflect external light rather than produce their own. In the more distant future is a liquid-crystal TV screen. The entire television set, say the RCA researchers, not only would be as thin as a book, but could be watched even in the glaring light of a sun-drenched...
