...Atomic physicists generally do not see a pos sibility of producing an atomic e-:-)'onion from the light elements (hydrogen, heHum. etc.) - in which lies the danger of some atom!c experiment accidentally blowing up the whole e?rth. Says...
THENARDOL, a new antiseptic for which the base is common household hydrogen peroxide, can be sprayed, inhaled, given to patients allergic to sulfa drugs or penicillin. Developed by Dr. Ethan Allan Brown of Boston, thenardol is super-safe, non-allergy-causing...
Last fortnight Dr. Donald H. Andrews of Johns Hopkins University described a bolometer to top them all. Its sensitive surface is columbium nitride cooled by liquid hydrogen to minus 432° F. At this temperature-close to absolute zero-columbium nitride becomes "superconductive"; its electrical resistance almost vanishes. When a heat ray hits it and warms it only one millionth of a degree, it gives a clear electrical signal...
Outstanding feature of the new submarine was the underwater engine. It was an application of the Walther cycle engine, a new German device using hydrogen peroxide in place of gasoline or Diesel oil. Most apparent weakness: the high cost, in money and storage space, of hydrogen peroxide...
Died. Dr. Francis William Aston, 68, British chemist who won a 1922 Nobel Prize for inventing the mass spectrograph, through which heavy water and uranium 235 (atomic bomb ingredient) were discovered; in Cambridge, England. He once warned against atomic tinkering: "All hydrogen on earth might be transformed at once, and this most successful experiment published to the universe [as] a new star of extraordinary brilliance...
