Geology, like many other sciences, is turning more and more from field work to lab research. Over half of the graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the department are now doing research in the laboratory. Research groups headed by five senior geologists will conduct studies in the new Hoffman Laboratory...
Dissolved in peanut oil, the promine and retine preparations are injected into mice to observe the effect on the animals' cancers. Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi's mouse house is across the yard from the lab building. There he has tested promine and retine on hundreds of tumors. Two of the three types of tumor he works with are favorites of researchers: transplanted from one animal to another, they grow fast, and give a quick indication of a drug's effects. Promine speeds the growth of these cancers; retine makes them grow more slowly and actually causes some tumors...
...million budget (paid by AEC), compared with $68 million for the university itself. To help fill the Midwest gap in research and defense contracts. Beadle counts on a new 12.5 billion-volt synchrotron at Argonne to lure physicists. Last month NASA began building a new space lab adjoining the Fermi Institute...
Spreading Sausage. The astronomers relaxed, but not for long. Last week, after issuing soothing releases, M.I.T.'s Lincoln Lab announced that Project West Ford was blasting off once more. A redesigned dispenser climbed into a polar orbit riding piggyback on a secret Air Force satellite. Lincoln Lab scientists followed its course, and when they were sure it was in the proper orbit, they sent a signal that released a powerful spring...
...Lincoln Lab scientists watched the cloud by radar and saw it grow longer and longer as the thin wires separated. In about two months the wires should be evenly distributed around the earth, occupying a belt five miles wide and 25 miles thick...
