...menacing form depicted in this dramatic photograph is not some giant glob of man-eating protoplasm from a science-fiction film. It is actually a hamster's kidney cell magnified 15,000 times by a scanning electron microscope. Such scientific snapshots taken by Caltech Biologist Jean-Paul Revel may offer an important clue to a mystery that has long puzzled scientists: how a living cell moves across a surface. The cell's perambulations, Revel says, are apparently made possible by a strange phenomenon called "ruffling...

Hula-Hoop. "An engineer's dream come true," exulted NASA Boss James Fletcher. He had every reason to be proud. Pioneer had not only survived its encounter with electron intensities 1,000,000 times greater than those in the earth's own radiation belts but continued to radio back data after the historic encounter. Indeed, if Pioneer's tiny nu clear power packs and instruments keep functioning, the spacecraft's signals may well be received on earth until it reaches the orbit of the planet Uranus about 14 years from now. What is more, Pioneer...

...Research and Development Center in Schenectady, N.Y. The other half goes to Welsh-born Brian D. Josephson, 33, of Cambridge University. In a series of brilliant experiments and calculations, the three scientists explored different aspects of a phenomenon that has become increasingly significant in modern electronics: electron "tunneling," the passage of electrons through insulating material that, according to classical physics, they should not be able to penetrate...

...Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Rockefeller University swim not in the sea but in the human bloodstream. They are lymphocytes, cells that are essential parts of the immune system and protect the body against invasion by germs and other foreign matter. Magnified about 13,000 times by a scanning electron microscope, they reveal for the first time structural differences between the two kinds of lymphocytes...

...book of doctrine, Divine Principle, appeared in 1957, quickly to become the Bible of his followers. It is a curious mixture of Christian fundamentalism, Taoist-like dualism, numerology, and even metaphors from Moon's electrical engineering (the "give and take" between proton and electron, for example, as a model for that between God and man). The book points to a new Saviour from Korea, whose timing is remarkably similar to Moon...
