Unlike the traditional auto battery, which contains solid lead and lead dioxide electrodes in a liquid electrolyte of sulphuric acid, the new Ford battery uses liquid sodium and liquid sulphur for electrodes and a novel ceramic electrolyte made of aluminum oxide. In the battery, electric current is produced by separating the sodium and sulphur with the ceramic electrolyte, which blocks the passage of all particles except sodium ions (sodium atoms stripped of one of their electrons...
Shorter Range. There are still problems to be solved, however, before the new electrics take to the streets. Ford's battery must be heated to about 500° F. to keep its sodium and sulphur electrodes in liquid form, a temperature the company believes can be maintained by effective insulation of battery cells and by frequent charging. Care must also be taken that the battery's sodium does not come into contact with water; the combination produces highly inflammable hydrogen...

...ANTITRUST. The year's big merger case involves mammoth Soapmaker Procter & Gamble's acquisition of Clorox Chemical Co., the top U.S. manufacturer of liquid bleach. The FTC washed out the 1957 merger, ruling it unfair to smaller competitors; a U.S. appellate court reversed the FTC, calling it hostile to mere bigness. The Government, which has yet to lose a major antitrust case in the Warren court, now seeks to vindicate...
Such new diagnostic techniques are typical of a whole sunburst of medical marvels that cover a spectrum as wide as the liquid crystals' own color range. In addition to teaching doctors to see with colors, engineers have also shown them how to see with sound. Ultrasonic beams bounced through a patient can spell out a fuzzy picture of all they encounter. Operations can now be carried out in an environment that is virtually germfree. The new device may be as comparatively simple as a heart cart that contains everything from a cardiac pacemaker to a supply of oxygen...
