...think that an Andy Warhol endorsement [Mar. 4] for our liquid helium would be a real "gasser." As the nation's largest supplier, we can keep his balloons filled for life. That ought to give him a lift...
...engines spitting a 150-ft. tail of flame, Saturn 1B burned for 2 min. 26 sec., at which point it was 35 miles up and moving at 5,400 m.p.h. Next came the tricky second stage, a single 225,000-lb.-thrust engine powered by an exotic combination of liquid oxygen (lox) and liquid hydrogen (LH2). While lox boils off at a difficult -290° F., LH2 boils at -423° F., thus requires extreme pressurization to keep cool. Moreover, in weightless space, LH2, like mercury, tends to gather into a ball or spin off into tiny globs; simply...
Kennedy's findings should alter most theories about the thermal history of the earth, and help scientists learn more about how heat escapes from the earth's interior. In addition, the formula final ly establishes a correct relationship be tween a substance in its solid and liquid states, besides offering a new approach to studies of the melting process. In retrospect, Kennedy's discovery might seem obvious, but the startling truth is that generations of scientists overlooked it. "The profession must be full of asses," says Nobel Prize Chemist Willard Libby, discoverer of the carbon-14 dating...
...recent patients, most of them followed for 18 months, only five have needed surgery, while 26 others still have intermittent ulcer pain. The satisfactory result rate is 51 % . One reason for the difference between his record and Hitchcock's, said Dr. Wangensteen, is that his team now uses liquid that is supercooled to - 40°F. when it enters the tube on its way to the stomach. This chills the stomach wall itself for six or seven minutes to 13°F.-far below freezing. Then the stomach is quickly rewarmed...
...explosion was set off, it is now believed, when highly flammable liquid hydrogen broke through beryllium windows on the CEA bubble chamber, which was being filled for the first time. The CEA has decided since the explosion to abandon the apparatus and bubble chamber research...
