...vacuum tube. As soon as the gas molecules pick up electric charges, they respond to electrical forces and are whisked through a charged grid at a predetermined speed. After traveling a short distance, they hit molecules of vaporized benzene (C6H6) and stick to them, forming nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2). The hydrogen atoms left out of the combination form gaseous hydrogen...
...neutrons from the reactor hit uranium atoms in the capsule, they caused the atoms to fission, or split. The atomic fragments shot apart with enormous energy (200 million electron volts per fission), splintering ammonia molecules and knocking them in every direction. The fragments recombined at once. Some formed gaseous hydrogen (H2) or nitrogen (N2). But about half the ammonia that reacted formed the much-desired hydrazine (N2H4...
Informed that he had won the $50,000 Enrico Fermi Award "for his leadership in thermonuclear research," Dr. Edward Teller, 54, who dislikes being called the father of the hydrogen bomb, had just one request. "I would appreciate it," he said, "since this for me is a nice occasion, that you refrain from calling me the father of anything...
...appeared to take into account all of the observations then available. Ther model consisted of two strands of alternating sugar and phosphate groups wound about a common axis as a double helix. The bases were attached to the sugar groups and projected toward each other from opposite strands. Finally, hydrogen bonds between the base-pairs formed rung-like links between the two strands...
Because liquid hydrogen is dangerously explosive, the cryogenics room is explosion-proof and equipped with a fast ventilating system. The roof off the experimental hall is also designed for rapid ventilation to minimize the hazards of spilled hydrogen...
