Last week when Southern California trounced the University of California at Los Angeles, 42-to-7, it finished its Conference season in a dead heat with the University of California-six victories and one defeat apiece. But, since Southern California had roundly whipped California when they met four weeks ago, the Conference selection committee picked U. S. C.* represent the West Coast...
...time to putter with electricity and magnetism, discovered that when iron is hot it loses its magnetism. That was about 1600. Late in the 19th Century, Pierre Curie, husband of Marie Curie, discovered that-although magnetism is gradually lost with rising temperature-an abrupt change occurs at a certain heat above which iron, nickel and cobalt cease in effect to be magnetic. This critical temperature chemists call the Curie point. These two discoveries underlie the operating principle of a new alloy announced last week in Instruments ("The Magazine of Measurement and Control...
...that doesn't mean anything; there is no sense in that.' . . . A man by the name of Gerson Brown came in the room at that same time and father turned to this fellow and he says, 'Gerson, what do you have that is appetizing to which heat has been applied?' And Brown says, 'I always have toast in the morning.' My father says, 'That is it-It is toasted.' And my father created the phrase that...
...named because its fundamental principle is that energy is exchanged in separate, indivisible bundles called quanta, quantum mechanics has been powerfully developed by such giants of physics as Bohr, de Broglie, Heisenberg, Schrodinger and Dirac (Nobel Prizewinners all). It has interpreted the laws of radiation, the laws of specific heat, the details of atomic, molecular and X-ray spectra...
