University scientists have developed a new amplifier which may extend the range of radio telescopes 10 times farther out in space, it was announced yesterday. This device, developed in the Gordon McKay Laboratory of Applied Science, may enable men to "hear" the radiation from hydrogen clouds in galaxies beyond the range of any present instruments...
Thomas Gold, professor of Astronomy, states that the telescope, equipped with the new amplifier, should provide a test of cosmological theories such as the theory of the expanding universe and be able to confirm or deny the existence of hydrogen gas between the galaxies...
...Maser," the technical name for the amplifier, is not the first of its kind, but the University's maser is the first to run successfully in the twenty-one centimeter wavelength band--the frequency of emission from interstellar hydrogen...
...most familiar kind of radioactive fallout comes from the fission of plutonium or uranium 235, and from the so-called clean bombs that the U.S. Government has announced contain only small amounts of these troublemaking substances. The bulk of the bomb's bang comes from fusion of hydrogen, which creates no fission products...
...step down from the dream fuels are the boron-containing fuels that have already grown big enough to stir up flurries on Wall Street (see BUSINESS). Boron itself gives much energy, and some of its compounds hold a lot of high-energy hydrogen in easy-to-handle form. Modern boron fuels are stable, reliable and have high (classified) specific impulses. One of them is now being manufactured in considerable quantity by Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp. at Niagara Falls. Gallery Chemical Co., near Pittsburgh, is making its HiCal, a boron-carbon-hydrogen combination...
