...both turned down invitations to lecture at Washington ; so did M.I.T. Physicist Victor Weisskopf. Last week the university revealed that seven top scientists from Washington University in St. Louis, Harvard, the University of Wisconsin and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research would not attend a scheduled symposium on the "molecular basis of enzyme action." Reason: Schmitz's veto had "placed the University of Washington outside the community of scholars." The big boycott hit the University of Washington where it hurt-right in its pride over its new, $12 million medical school. Said President Schmitz in his own defense...
...refusal by the scientists has forced cancellation of the conference, listed as a "Symposium on the Molecular Basis of Enzyme Action" and scheduled for April 7 and 8. It ordinarily would have drawn more than 200 scientists, Hans Neurath, head of Washington's department of Biology, reported last night...
When the pressure reaches about 800,000 atmospheres, a strange thing happens to hydrogen. Its molecular structure collapses, and it turns into a metal much heavier than nonmetallic solid hydrogen. No such pressure can be reached in the earth's laboratories, but theoretical studies have proved that metallic hydrogen is a reality. Since the pressure at the center of Jupiter is something like 30 million atmospheres, there is plenty of room for a sphere of metallic hydrogen...
SYNTHETIC RUBBER with all the properties (including the same molecular structure) of natural, tree-grown rubber will be produced by Goodrich-Gulf Chemicals, Inc. The new synthetic, which could make the U.S. completely self-sufficient in rubber during wartime, can be substituted for natural rubber now needed in such strategic items as airplane and truck tires...
...molecular mixup started Sunday night when the cyclotron first showed signs of this collapse. Gerald P. Weiss 2G was the first to witness the starting transformer burn...
