...such students, the institute offers equipment no other campus could afford. It has use of the largest of the national atomic energy laboratories, the biggest gaseous diffusion plant (for the separation of uranium isotopes), and is in the world center of the production and study of tracer atoms. Its museum, complete with artificial lightning and Geiger counters, is host to hundreds of students a year. Its special exhibits travel by truck to schools and fairs from Florida to Oregon...
...damage than any other spy not only in the history of the United States but in the history of nations." As a top member of the visiting British atomic-energy mission, he knew all the secrets of the Los Alamos weapons center. At Columbia University, he worked on the gaseous-diffusion method for separating U-235 -the process now used exclusively at Oak Ridge. He knew all the ideas for improving bombs, and the thinking on the hydrogen bomb. Fuchs fed his material to stubby Harry Gold, who took it to Yakovlev at furtive meetings in restaurants and bars...
With none of the usual gaseous explosions, gothic orations or protracted strikes, the soft-coal operators and John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers last week signed a new 14-month contract. The miners got a 20?-an-hour pay boost, and the operators got ready to raise coal prices as much as 25? a ton at the pits...
...hydrogen, simplest and lightest of the elements. Such a uniform gas is gravitationally unstable." Its atoms attract one another and gradually form into clouds, rather as a film of water on glass gathers into drops. The clouds, cruising through space for billions of years eventually crowd together in enormous gaseous masses that weigh as much as billions of great stars...
Among modern astronomers, an old theory of the origin of the solar system was back in fashion. German Philosopher Immanuel Kant had speculated in 1755 that the sun and its planets were formed by condensation out of a gaseous cloud. For a while astronomers supported Kant, but later his "nebula hypothesis" lost scientific favor. More modern astronomers, notably Sir James Jeans, have conceded that the sun may have been formed that way, but not the planets. To explain the planets, Jeans suggested that another star must have grazed the sun, pulling out a thread of sun-matter that gathered into...
