Before the scientific world could even begin to digest these assertions, the journal published still another communique from the young patent examiner. Einstein had devised an equation that accounted for Brownian motion, the random, zigzagging movements of microscopic particles within liquids (named after the Scottish botanist Robert Brown, who first observed it in 1827). Einstein suggested that the specks were being jostled by molecules in the liquid, an idea that finally convinced many early 20th century skeptics of the atomic nature...
...blood centers meet most of their need for blood plasma, the liquid portion of the blood-which is important in the treatment of burns and other traumatic injuries-by a separation process called plasmapheresis. In it, blood is drawn from a donor, the plasma is extracted, and the red blood cells (which carry oxygen and are given to surgical patients to make up for their blood losses) are infused back into the donor. By contrast, most European blood centers simply collect the whole blood and separate the plasma and red cells. Because they use more plasma than red cells, they...
...tank of a steaming-hot diesel engine. We were irrigating a cornfield and the engine had been continuously pumping for several hours. The engine was incredibly hot, so hot that I expected it to explode at any moment. Several hundred people had just recently been killed in a liquid propane truck explosion in Spain, and I vividly recalled the newspaper photos of bodies turned to charcoal. So when Gilles Vallet suggested refilling the fuel tank, I discreetly walked off to examine the corn at the other end of the field...
Atkinson had synthesized and stored the liquid explosive in an unsupervised experiment in the prep room behind the lecture halls, Harvard officials said yesterday...
...make a model of it," he hints vaguely. "It's so awesome, so powerful and has so many unique identities . . ." When the monster first appears, audiences will see a surface Abel has constructed out of filmed layers of highspeed light streaking, chemically milled metal, animation, liquid crystal and half a dozen other gimmicks...
