...Ibrahim A. Eldib, a water-pollution expert from Newark, disagrees. For one thing, he told the subcommittee, such plants are exorbitantly expensive. The best solution, says Eldib, is to speed the development of a phosphate-and nitrogen-free chemical detergent...
...company they formed-Inter-American Research and Development Corporation-is the sole Brazilian agent for Atlantic Breeders Co-operative, of Lancaster, Pa. Atlantic raises stud bulls, then harvests and freezes their semen in liquid nitrogen to a temperature...
...earth's atmosphere. But, he adds, the atmosphere itself might have been disturbed or even partially swept away. The explosion, for example, might have blown off some atmospheric helium. It could also account for puzzling conditions on other planets, such as the lack of measurable nitrogen on Mars. Perhaps the most spectacular possibility raised by Gold is that one whole side of Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, might have been seared by the blast...
...Pure and Applied Physics in Budapest, a scientist from Australia announced that he was "99% sure" that he had actually found a quark. British-born Physicist Charles McCusker, 50, reported that his team of investigators had apparently spotted the elusive particles among the wreckage of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen atoms smashed when they were struck by cosmic rays hurtling down from space...

Flying past the planet Mars, the small, instrument-packed spacecraft detected no evidence of nitrogen, an indispensable ingredient of life on earth.

Even their stunning close-up photographs from only...
