Still, creating a diamond semiconductor is no easy feat. Rather than trying to mimic the conditions under which diamond is generated deep in the earth, Apollo, Element Six and most of the other leading diamondmakers are relying on a process called chemical vapor deposition (CVD). It's a low-pressure, high-temperature method that uses heat energy from plasma and a combination of gases to rain carbon atoms on a starter seed of the gem, which gradually grows into a larger single-crystal diamond. CVD produces a more uniform, consistent diamond in sizes large enough to make an effective transistor...
...Crimson’s third of the season…Meintel’s hat trick was Harvard’s first of the year. The Crimson’s last three-goal output came off the stick of Dan Murphy ’06, who managed the feat in an 8-4 postseason win over St. Lawrence on March 12…Freshman goalie Kyle Richter evened his record to 6-6-1 with the weekend wins, turning away 50 of 53 shots faced. After beginning the season in a rotation with senior Justin Tobe, Richter has started eight...
That is an incredible and somewhat ironic financial feat for the man known as the Boss, a Freehold, N.J., native who learned how to play the guitar by listening to the radio. In the eleven years since he first gained national attention, the bus-driver's son and blue-collar rock poet who sings of hard times, dying towns and stubborn dreams has become much more than a legendary performer. Bruce Springsteen, 37, is one of the most potent money-making machines in the history of entertainment. His earnings possibly eclipse even Michael Jackson's income, which derives from records...
...employees and hired a former Green Beret colonel, Arthur ("Bull") Simons, to lead an improbable rescue mission. Incredibly, it succeeded. Perot's operatives persuaded a revolutionary mob to storm the jail where the EDS men were held, then spirited the Americans 500 miles to safety in Turkey. Perot's feat was popularized by Novelist Ken Follett in the best seller On Wings of Eagles and by the NBC mini-series of the same name. Perot was invited to serve (from 1982 to 1985) on President Reagan's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board...
...Open imbued him with a confidence that swept him to a stellar 1958, when he won three of the four Grand Slams (he missed out at the French Open), placing him in what is today just a nine-member group who've achieved the "small slam." Such a feat yielded no riches in those amateur times, but that's never bothered him. "The players then were friends," he says. "We'd try to beat each other, but then afterward we would have a few beers with our opponent. That doesn't happen today...
