With the same argument you can claim that an artist like William Gropper, who drew those stirring cartoons of fat capitalists in top hats for the New Masses 60 years ago, may have something over an artist like Edward Hopper, who didn't care a plugged nickel for community and was always painting figures in lonely rooms in such a way that you can't be sure whether he was criticizing alienation or affirming the virtues of solitude...
...huddle means something else. It means that Buffalo can dictate the pace. Washington figures to come out in a nickel defense, designed to stop the pass, which means that the Bills will probably come out running...
...This research is on the interface between inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry," Evans says. It makes use of transitional elements of the periodic table such as nickel, samarium, boron, rhodium and iridium...
...years, the wind industry's goal has been to produce power at rates similar to oil's: roughly a nickel for a kilowatt. Machines now operating in California can produce energy at 7 cents per kW. In areas of consistent high winds, the next generation, currently being deployed, will bring that cost down to 5 cents by 1995, and more advanced designs are likely to shave off another penny by the year 2000. While many locales do not have enough wind to use the technology, enhancements already in the works will expand by a factor of 20 the area...
...traverse the gap between the tip and the surface, a phenomenon known as tunneling. This generates a tiny current that can be used to move atoms and molecules around with pinpoint precision. Thus last year physicists from IBM's Almaden Research Center manipulated 35 xenon atoms on a nickel surface to spell out their company's logo. They have also fashioned seven atoms into a minuscule beaker in which they can observe chemical reactions at an atomic level, and they devised a working version of a single-atom electronic switch that, in theory, could replace the transistor. Though some...
