...know how you get people's attention," said Robinson, the House Republican leader. "If you compare my record to his...the press is saying 'negative.' Well, what else do you compare, our height?" The favored DeNucci has outspent his opponent...
...scanning tunneling microscope, invented by Binnig and Rohrer, records the position of a needle that rises and dips to keep constant height while moving across the tiny irregularities on the surface of a specimen. The ups correspond to the bumps of individual atoms, and the downs to spaces between them, producing an atomic-scale contour...
Controlling the needle's height is a minute electric current that should not flow at all, according to classical physics. Reason: there is nothing to conduct electrons, the carriers of electric current, across the insulating vacuum that separates needle from surface. But modern quantum theory says that a few electrons will jump anyway. Indeed they do, and since the number that jump depends on the size of the gap, the microscope's circuitry can continuously readjust the needle's height by monitoring the amount of current flowing between its tip and the object. The device "is completely new," said...
Using that model, O'Neill established community committees to compromise on the height of the parking garage next to the Kennedy School, and convinced the University to back off a proposed bridge between the Fogg and Sackler Art Museums...
Northeastern, which became a Division I club this year after playing national-caliber Division II ball the past few seasons, dominated the net play with its height and good blocking. "They were bigger than we were. They were hitting over our blocks," Forman said...
