...bits and spiraled closer to earth. On Jan. 6 he distinguished eight distinct fragments, all of them still orbiting, but at slightly different speeds. Toward the end, it took as much as 30 minutes for the procession to cross Ohio. Dr. Kraus thinks that the Sputnik's thin metal skin disintegrated first, allowing its contents (batteries, instruments, radio apparatus, etc.) to come apart...
...beating of Elso S. Barghoorn, professor of Botany, in Amsterdam late Tuesday night was apparently not so serious as indicated by earlier reports. Dutch police have arrested a 25-year old metal-worker for assault in his attempt to rob Barghoorn...
...practical use of the process results from the similarity between the "dendritic crystals" formed and those produced when supercooled liquid metal solidifies. It is the crystalline structure of a metal that largely determines its strength, toughness, and brittleness...
...cities have already taken action, but teen-age rocketeers are hard to discourage. While liquid-fueled rockets are top fashion with amateurs, only a few of them are built. They are too complicated and expensive. But news has got around that respectable rockets can be made out of metal tubing closed at one end and filled with a slow-burning solid fuel...
...doings of the atmosphere. The Russians have not told whether they got meteorological information from their Sputniks, but next spring U.S. satellites will carry into space at least two weather instruments. A team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin, led by Dr. Verner E. Suomi, is fashioning metal spheres two inches in diameter that will be carried by a satellite to measure radiation from both the sun and the earth. The U.S. Army Signal Corps is preparing a special photoelectric cell to detect variations of light from the earth, thus measuring the "albedo" (reflectivity) of cloud formations that...
