Only recently have scientists realized that most of the universe is neither gaseous, liquid or solid. It is plasma, a lively, tricky, often dangerous state of matter whose distinctive characteristic is that its particles are electrically charged. Scientists call it "the fourth state of matter,'' because plasma follows its own peculiar laws, responding to electrical forces and creating them. The sun and stars are mostly plasma; so are many loose particles moving in space between them. In fact, cosmologically speaking, only in a few exceptional places does matter settle down and become electrically neutral. But since the human...
...telephone calls, finally reported them to the FBI. Driving to the Capitol one morning last week. Thompson was stopped at a red light when a green Ford truck pulled up next to him. A man leaned out the window, pointed a rubber syringe at Thompson, squirted a stream of liquid. Only bad aim saved Frank Thompson from serious injury: the liquid was sulphuric acid, and the little that did hit Thompson burned a hole through his shirt, raised a blister...
...reactors can be made in many ways. Some look good on paper but turn out to be impractical in actual use. In its effort to develop low-cost nuclear power, the Atomic Energy Commission has long experimented at such places as Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, with new liquid reactor fuels-a low-melting alloy of U-233 and bismuth, a solution of uranyl sulfate, and others. But AEC soon discovered that the program was leading only to prohibitively expensive means of obtaining competitive electrical energy, and last week it announced a shift in emphasis: funds for the Brookhaven...
...bottles is being sold by Pol-Air, Inc., Morgan City, La. The device is cooled by a copper coil that is connected to the car's carburetor and gas line. The carburetor draws gas from the gas line through the coil, where it changes from a liquid to a vapor and in the process absorbs heat, then is fed back to the carburetor. Price...
...million people in Western Europe's new Common Market nations, feeding oil by tanker into the southern end of a projected 36-inch pipeline from Marseille to Karlsruhe. Sahara's natural gas might be transported to Europe either by tankers specially built to carry it in liquid form or by a trans-Mediterranean pipeline through Spain. And Algeria itself will benefit from a feeder line to carry gas from Hassi R'Mel to the steel plant which by De Gaulle's decree is to be built near...
