When the patient returned, the liquid from the incubator would be removed, the piece of skin that had been removed would be placed in a cell medium, and the wound would be allowed to heal...
Shoot neutrons through a liquid or solid, and these subatomic particles will bounce off the atoms inside. The angles at which the quantum bullets ricochet tell scientists how the target atoms are arranged. That knowledge has already led to advances in semiconductors and may someday explain the bizarre phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity. Clifford Shull, now retired from M.I.T., and Bertram Brockhouse from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, helped perfect neutron-scattering techniques in the 1940s and '50s. Today, nearly a half-century later, they have Nobels to show for it. Ironically, the man who did the pioneering work...
...collisions will provide an opportunity to study the winds above Jupiter's cloud tops. "The mark left by the first impact is already starting to be spread around," she observes. There are also hints of seismic waves -- ripples thatmay have traveled all the way to a dense layer of liquid hydrogen thousands of miles down and then bounced back up to the surface, creating rings half the size of the planet's visible face. These waves may offer clues to Jupiter's internal structure...
...sitting in the dark seems painfully thin, but he has gained 25 lbs. since Haitian police detained him for nine days last March. They stomped on his back, beat him with batons, kicked him with their boots. He survived on a liquid diet: the urine of his captors. He now lives on the run in Port-au- Prince, hiding with friends and begging for food...
...Herschbach is shown engulfed in smoke and surrounded by five liquid-filled bulbs. In the background with some esoteric chemical equations...
