...first of the new clocks, begun last March, has a unique box that stores high-energy-level hydrogen atoms long enough for them to give off 21 centimeter radiation. The oscillating wave it omits is o' such stability and purity of tone that the maser promises to become a new standard for time and frequency measurement...
...remaining Labour M.P.'s will probably follow the example of K. Zilliacus, one of their number who declared the other day that "Mr. Gaitskell's arrogance and fanaticism and hydrogen-bomb strategy mean that he is not fit to lead the party and will have to go." This group may propose to replace Gaitskell with Harold Wilson, a non-leftist who is nonetheless unlikely to quarrel with the conference...
Khrushchev's presence on Manhattan island is the surest possible insurance against hydrogen bomb attack on the city while he's here. The longer he stays the better, as far as I'm concerned...
...earth's corona, Astrophysicist Shklovsky reasons, is mostly hydrogen which came originally from the earth's oceans. Water vapor works its way up from the lower atmosphere. When it reaches about 60 miles, its molecules are broken into oxygen and hydrogen by solar radiation. The hydrogen, being lighter, tends to rise, and above about 1,000 miles it becomes the main constituent of the atmosphere. Some of its molecules get hot enough and move fast enough to reach escape velocity and leave the earth entirely. Moscow's Professor Shklovsky believes that enough hydrogen has escaped in this...
Degenerate Matter. Though seemingly incredible, these figures for the Companion have withstood all attacks, and astronomers, particularly Dr. Luyten, have since found many white dwarfs even smaller and denser. The current theory is that they are stars that have burned nearly all their hydrogen, turning it by nuclear fusion into helium and heavier elements. With the hydrogen gone, the star contracts. As its mass concentrates into a smaller volume, its gravitational field increases in power, eventually growing strong enough to compress the material near the star's center into "degenerate" matter whose electrons and nuclei have been pushed close...
