...even more radical flat tube under development by General Electric Co. gets rid of the vacuum, and it has no electron beam either. It consists of a sheet of "electroluminescent" phosphor that glows when it is excited by an electrical voltage. The phosphor is sandwiched between a matrix of horizontal and vertical wires. If there are 500 running in each direction there will be 250,000 points at which wires cross. These intersections can be made to glow by impressing the proper voltage on the wires. If the voltages are changed rapidly, the spot of light scans the screen, forming...
...heat deep under the earth's surface. G.E.'s diamond crystals are formed by a giant press that concentrates 1,000 tons on a small metal cup heated to above 5,000° F. In it are carbon (probably graphite) and other secret material. When the matrix cools, it contains diamonds (crystallized carbon) the size of sand but big enough for industrial grinding purposes...

In addition, work is being done on the relation of diet to dental health. Investigators have found diets for rats that help of binder tooth decay...
