...Physicist Andrei Sakharov, who helped to develop the Russian hydrogen bomb, last week disclosed that he had been officially warned not to make contact with foreign journalists. In previous interviews with Western reporters, Sakharov has made several appeals in behalf of political prisoners. After he made the warning public, Sakharov was denounced by 40 members of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, to which he belongs. The only surprise in the denunciation was the fact that it was signed by so few of the academy's 248 members, indicating that if they could not defend Sakharov, most of the scientists...
...polywater was a totally different form of water -a thick, sticky substance that had a boiling point of about 1,000° F., and a freezing point of -40° F. Moreover, it closely resembled plastics or other polymers in molecular structure in that its molecules of hydrogen and oxygen atoms were linked together to form long chains. Scientists round the world were fascinated. But no one else was able to produce more than a few drops of the miraculous water and skepticism began to grow. Now even Deryagin has washed his hands of polywater. In a recent scientific paper...
Soviet Motives. There is the possibility that Moscow is sincerely interested in furthering détente in Europe, if only so that it can focus its worries on China. Those worries were not helped last week when China exploded a hydrogen bomb in Sinkiang province. It was China's 15th test explosion since it joined the nuclear club in 1964. Estimated to be in the two-to three-megaton range, it was probably the biggest Chinese nuclear blast to date...
...lead time in developing other sources is so great, the capital requirements are so great-conceivably the combination of solar technology, geothermal and maybe even hydrogen fusion will be the answer...
...scientists believe that the long-range answer to man's energy needs may lie in thermonuclear fusion. The process that fires the sun and all the other stars, fusion releases enormous amounts of energy-but only small amounts of dangerous radioactivity -through the combination of light atoms of hydrogen to form heavier atoms of helium. The earth's seas contain an almost unlimited store of an isotope of hydrogen especially suitable as fusion fuel: deuterium, or heavy hydrogen...
