Working with Brookhaven's powerful Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, they slammed a stream of antiprotons into a bubble chamber full of liquid hydrogen. As the antiprotons hit the stationary hydrogen nuclei-which were also protons-they annihilated each other, giving off energy and filling the 20-in. chamber with a sudden splash of new, extremely short-lived particles...
...billion-a-year food industry sees plumper profits in slimmer people. Ogling the early success of Metrecal and similar liquid diets, and armed with surveys showing that 88% of all U.S. adults want to hold their weight down, the food-and-drink men have hurried out a broad new line of low-calorie products that this year will account for a tidy $300 million in sales...
...tons, and each of its five cylindrical segments contains more rubbery propellant* than an entire Air Force Minuteman. While it burns for nearly two minutes, it gives 1,000,000 lbs. of thrust, three times as much as that of an Atlas. It is steered by injections of liquid nitrogen tetroxide into the white hot gas stream through valves in the sides of the engine's nozzle...
Inevitably, the 120's success reopened the long squabble among experts over the merits of solid fuel and liquid fuel in rocket-engine design. In the desperate effort to produce very large boosters such as those the Russians have, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration several years ago committed the civilian space program to rockets powered by kerosene and liquid oxygen, and its present hopes are pinned on a liquid-fuel engine called the Fl, which North American Aviation, Inc. has been developing for five years. It is a big, impressive machine, which will generate...
Interested Spectator. Last week's successful test of the U.A.C.'s engine went far to justify the claim of those who have always argued that solid-fuel rockets can be increased in size much more easily than engines that burn liquids. Solid fuels, in fact, have been the backbone of U.S. military missile power ever since the success of Polaris and Minuteman. Built for the Air Force, the U.A.C. 120-incher is part of Titan III, which will consist of Martin Marietta Corp.'s liquid-fueled Titan II rocket, already operational, with two of the new solid...
