...conversion of mass into energy, Einstein wrote what is probably the most important equation ever devised by man: E = mc2. This means simply that energy is equal to mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. Light's speed is so enormous" (186,000 miles a second), and its square (self-multiplication) so much more enormous still, that one pound of matter is equal to more than ten billion kilowatt-hours of energy...
...onetime colleague, Lise Meitner, a Jewish woman scientist who had fled from Hitler's Reich to Copenhagen. Meitner's own experiments had puzzled her-but when she saw Hahn's report she guessed that the huge uranium atom had been broken into two nearly equal fragments...
...because of the tremendous energy profit. Up to then, scientists had always had to put more energy into their projectiles than was released in the breakup. Now, an explosion of about 200,000,000 electron-volts was touched off by idling neutrons of less than one electron-volt. Matter equal to about one-fifth of a neutron's mass was converted into energy according to the Einstein formula...
ALUMINUM COMPANY OF AMERICA. War orders will be sorely missed. Alcoa has delivered $2.2 billion of aluminum and magnesium since war began, still has a backlog of war orders totaling $200 million. But orders on hand from civilian industries amount to a mere $26 million-equal to two weeks' present aluminum production...
