...element is a substance each of whose atoms contains the same number of electrons. Until recently, scientists thought there were 92 elements, ranging from hydrogen (with one electron circling round its nucleus) to uranium (with 92). All the intervening numbers had been accounted for. So the chemists sat back, feeling that their long search for elements had been completed...
...parade of scientists who took exception to the May bill's security provisions passed before Congressional committees. Others made statements to the press. Columbia's Dr. Harold C. Urey discoverer of heavy hydrogen, favored a worldwide ban on the manufacture of atomic weapons. Dr. Herbert L. Anderson, who worked on the bomb, feared that the May-Johnson bill's security provision would frighten scientists away from all nuclear research. Famed Dr. Arthur Holly Compton had similar objections. The scientists' main worries were...
...Development of hydrogen peroxide as a high-powered fuel. Hydrogen peroxide, an unstable compound (H2O2), breaks down (into water-H20-and an atom of oxygen) with a large release of energy. The Germans used hydrogen peroxide in launching their V-1 and V-2 missiles, and were adapting it, with apparently promising results, to naval uses...
...corona, which extends for millions of miles from the sun's surface. The corona,'most scientists think, is created by electromagnetic radiation and is probably related to the sun's magnetism and sunspots. Astrophysicists argue mildly among themselves about what its incandescent elements are (perhaps calcium, hydrogen, helium). The corona gives off a strange light, differing from sunlight and visible only when the sun's rays are blotted out by the moon...
Banana Royal. In Philadelphia, the lordly British Admiralty sniffed at the hydrogen sulphide in the air, ordered all officers docking there for the summer to prevent tarnish by painting their gold braid, buttons, and decorations with banana...
