...added a gentle note with pink sashes. But from 1829 to modern times, the advantage has been Cambridge's. Between 1924 and 1937 the light blue was unbeaten for 13 straight years. Last week, with the series standing at 54 for Cambridge, 44 for Oxford, and a dead heat in 1877, heavier (by 5 Ibs. a man) Cambridge was favored to make...
...early postwar period, the prospects for fusion did not look very good. The available light elements-lithium, ordinary hydrogen and deuterium (heavy hydrogen)-seemed to require more heat than could be provided by the first atom bombs. The third hydrogen isotope, tritium, looked more promising. A mixture of tritium (H³) and deuterium (H²) will ignite at a comparatively low temperature, turning into helium (He4) and a free neutron, and giving a big yield of energy...
...Japanese fishermen who were burned by "death ash" were apparently victims of a local concentration of contaminated pulverized coral. Some of their burns, according to AEC Chairman Strauss, came from the chemical action of the ash. He probably meant that the coral, chiefly-calcium carbonate, had been turned by heat to quicklime, which sears human skin...
...explore one of five proposed methods (TIME, March 22) of producing electricity from the atom. Under a deal with AEC, North American will put $2,500,000 of its own money towards designing and building an experimental, $10 million reactor with a capacity equal to 20,000 kw. of heat which, with generators added, would light a town of 5,000, will have it ready for testing...
Chrysler was careful to point out that a lot of problems have to be solved before the family car is turbine-powered. The efficiency of the turbine has to be stepped up, and cheaper substitutes have to be found for the scarce, expensive, heat-resistant alloys used in some of the parts. But Chrysler's George J. Huebner Jr., the engineer in charge of the turbine project, is hopeful of fast progress. Said he: "First we needed to get something as good as the piston engine. Now we've got it. and we'll go on from...
