Lipscomb began studying the interactions between boron and hydrogen in the early '50s. Using a technique known as X-ray crystallography, he determined the structure of molecules containing these atoms (called boranes or boron hydrides) and went on to establish a sound theoretical basis for that structure...
Richard M. Goody, Mallinckrodt Professor of Planetary Physics, who is chairman of the Space Sciences Board, said yesterday scientists have realized the presence of hydrogen peroxide in small amounts on Mars could explain the high oxygen content of the soil...
...LIQUID hydrogen explosion three alaram fire in the experimental chamber of the Cambridge Electron Accelerator yesterday injured eight Harvard and MIT scientists and research technicians, three of them critically. The multi-million dollar explosion ripped apart the entire roof of the circular experiment section of the CEA complex, severely damaged a $1,000,000 hydrogen bubble chamber, and destroyed an elevator shaft in the adjoining administrative section of the structure...
...latest experiment, about to be published in the 1776 Philosophical Transactions, is by Henry Cavendish, the eccentric British millionaire chemist who has been investigating the properties of hydrogen. Instead of testing what electric fish actually do, Cavendish attempted to duplicate their actions by creating an artificial ray and then passing an electric current through it from a battery of the devices known as Leyden phials. He constructed a fish out of wood, with the shock organs made of pewter, but he was dissatisfied with the results, partly because the artificial fish gave off weaker shocks when submerged under water. Cavendish...
Beckwith said Wilson's attempts to disclaim his book's support of the status quo are "like making a hydrogen bomb, then saying you don't want it to be used...
