...minus 273 degrees," he comments, "even the most violent chemical reactions, are forced to complete inactivity. No reactions, no life processes can take place; even molecular movement ceases. Without molecular movement, no evaporation can take place. Thus all reactions produced by light rays are precluded, and as the life processes have eased, the organism cannot be damaged by chemical or physical means...
...told of a new Russian antiserum that has given the best results yet in preventing influenza. Soviet scientists have found ways to extract iodine cheaply from the foul waters of oilfields, sugar from watermelons, vitamin C from pine-tree needles for hungry Leningrad. Important contributions have been made to molecular physics, optics, electronics...
...Wire Recorder to bring the battlefronts nearer home. With this device the radioman makes his comments into a hand microphone, which would also pick up surrounding battle sounds. The microphone actuates an electromagnet which records the sounds on a thin wire moving through it (by magnetically rearranging the molecular structure of the wire). The spool of wire, loaded with its temporary magnetic record, can then be sent away and "played back'' for radio broadcasting or transcription disk recording...
This fantastic vitamin was isolated in 1936 by Professor Fritz Kögl of Utrecht, Holland but Biochemist Vincent Du Vigneaud of Cornell and his colleagues identified it as an animal vitamin in 1940. The possible molecular patterns ran into millions. Last January, Dr. Du Vigneaud and colleagues were able to announce that the possible molecular patterns had been reduced to five; then when the position of the nitrogen atoms was ascertained, these were...
...Caltech biochemists believe that their discovery is further proof that immunization, whose physiological mechanics has long been a major mystery, is a molecular phenomenon. In the blood stream of animals are large protein molecules called serum globulin. If a bacterium, virus, poison molecule or other "antigen" is near the point where these molecules are formed, the adaptable globulin molecules change their shape and assume structures complementary to those of the invading antigens, so that they can combine with them and neutralize them. After the infection or poisoning has been overcome, these changed globulin molecules remain in the blood as antibodies...
