...many scientists and engineers, the Government's action came none too soon. Progress in every field of science, from molecular biology to particle , physics, has become increasingly dependent on massive computing power. Scientists using supercomputers have been able to pry into nature in a way not possible before. By simulating everything from wind turbulence to gravitational fields, they have studied the mechanisms of thunderstorms, the optimum shape of an H-bomb, even the structure of the universe. Says Cornell Physicist Kenneth Wilson, the Nobel laureate who led the lobbying effort that resulted in last week's announcement: "The stakes...
Meselson was honored for his ground breaking research in molecular biology and his manipulation of DNA for genetic engineering. Nelson was recognized as a leader in the field of condensed matter and glass, and is dealing with the question of the transition from solid to liquid matter...
...spare time, he's enjoyed summer work in a molecular biology lab at the National Institute of Health That certainly fits into a schedule that includes French Calculus, Shakespeare and Organic Chemistry...
Cellular and Molecular Biology has recommended a candidate for tenure, but President Bok has yet to convene an ad hoe committee to review the recommendation, said Department Administrator Diane Baldwin...
...Mixed the same way, superstrong metal alloys could be made in the absence of gravity's pull. Unlike oil and vinegar, the new alloys would then stay together after their return to earth. Deere & Co., the Illinois tractor maker, is investigating the impact of zero gravity on the molecular structure of iron. That could provide clues to making it stronger on earth. The next generation of supercomputers that make billions of calculations per second may use chips that will be born in orbit. Reason: space appears to be the place to produce ultra-pure crystals, free of defects caused...
