¶ A supercool atom smasher, operating at temperatures close to absolute zero (-460° F.), may be smaller and cheaper to build, and could operate on far less electrical power than conventional electromagnetic accelerators, said Midwestern Universities Research Association Physicist Dr. Cyril D. Curtis. By using such superconductive materials as...
Part of the Kit. For decades, M.I.T. was famed as the leader in nuts-and-bolts engineering education. But today its emphasis has turned from teaching how to build bigger bridges or better mousetraps, and has come to stress basic science. "Educating a person for a current technology or a...
Hofmann was born in Weissenburg, Bavaria, and his well-meaning father, a stolid civil servant, had hopes that the boy would one day be a famous scientist. Young Hofmann had the aptitude: he pored over engineering books, when scarcely out of school invented an electromagnetic comptometer. But at 18 he...
Blood-Red Heart. Light and radio waves are both electromagnetic. But light waves are very much shorter and therefore have much higher frequency. They cannot be generated, tuned, filtered or amplified by the handy electronic apparatus used for radio waves. The new maser techniques promise, at least theoretically, to harness...
The official Pentagon explanation was that the plane was on a routine "electromagnetic survey" (i.e., weather and radiation studies), but the Air Force made no secret of the fact that the RB-47E was part of the continued U.S. probing of Soviet radar and radio communications-a "ferreting" job similar...
