...number opposite the first planet is one, the second planet two, and so on, scientists can spot the alien binary code. Giving their imaginations free rein, they can also recognize that the three groups of dots to the right of the star represent atomic diagrams: hydrogen (with one electron circling a central nucleus), carbon (six electrons and a nucleus) and oxygen (eight electrons and a nucleus). The atoms chosen suggest that life on the distant planet is based on a carbohydrate chemistry...
...technicians, engineers and scientists had worked since March at modifying the Berkeley Bevatron-which was designed for experiments with high-energy protons-to accelerate even heavier particles: nitrogen ions. As a result, McMillan announced at a press conference last week, nitrogen nuclei had been boosted to 36 billion electron volts, the highest energy level ever attained for such heavy particles in a laboratory...
...patients developed their symptoms following influenza-like illnesses. Others began to suffer from the disability after undergoing surgery unrelated to the nose, mouth or throat. None had readily observable abnormalities of the sensory organs. But Dr. Robert Henkin reported that when taste buds were examined with an electron microscope, marked cellular anomalies were noted...
...analyze them. Science's heavy artillery comes in two different forms. One is the linear accelerator, which shoots the particles down a long, straight tube. The largest of these is the two-mile-long machine at Stanford University, which recently had its power increased to 22 billion electron volts.* The other, more common form is the circular accelerator, which whips particles round a ring-shaped tunnel to get them up to speed. With the monster at Batavia not yet in operation, the world's most powerful atom smasher is the Soviets' 76 billion-electron-volt accelerator near...
...Nature, Astrophysicist Robert M. Hjellming of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, W. Va., argues the possibility of holes that are the complete antithesis of black holes. Such opposites are common enough-for example, the negatively charged electron and its antimatter version, the positively charged positron. But Hjellming's white holes are more than simply mirror images of black holes. They are sources of matter that could literally come from out of this world...
