Cars which now average 3,450 lbs. will use more lightweight aluminum and magnesium, will thus get no heavier. The car weight per horsepower, which fell from 33 Ibs. to 15 Ibs. between 1946 and 1957, will hit a low of 12 Ibs. in '61.

...Mesic" Atoms. Closer study showed that the mu mesons, which have negative electric charges, had attached themselves to positive hydrogen nuclei and were revolving around them as electrons normally do. Since mu mesons are 210 times heavier than electrons, the laws that govern the internal affairs of atoms force them to revolve at only 1/210th of the distance of electrons. The "mesic" atom formed in this way is somewhat heavier than an ordinary hydrogen atom but extremely small. It can therefore sift through the electron defenses of ordinary atoms and fuse with their nuclei...
