...Schramm wants no one to assume-as some German newspapers have done-that he expects soon to create real living creatures in his laboratory. His synthetic nucleic acid is not alive; it is merely chemically similar to the giant molecules that cluster in the nuclei of living cells and enable them to reproduce their kind. But he has brought chemistry closer to the day when some resourceful researcher will put together a molecule that can lead a dim, synthetic life...
...this second experiment the beam will be used to create, through bombardment of a special target, a stream of high energy photons. The photons, in turn, will be directed into a hydrogen bubble chamber. Interaction of the photons with the hydrogen nuclei will produce strange particles. These particles will leave a track of bubbles in the hydrogen, and in this way can be observed and studied...
...Nuclei. "There is, of necessity," said Donner, "a close relationship between the business and the citizens of these countries. This relationship takes many forms-producer to customer, employer to employee, purchaser to supplier. Can we not now visualize the extension of these relationships in many cases to include the relationship of corporation to stockholder...
...about the conditions in interplanetary space. A magnetometer in the 447-lb. spacecraft will measure the magnetic fields of space and Venus. An ionization chamber and a group of three Geiger-Miiller tubes will measure the number and intensity of such high-energy particles as protons, electrons and the nuclei of atoms, in an effort to gather more knowledge about the hazards of manned space flights. One instrument will determine the flow and density of the charged particles (the solar wind) that are constantly streaming outward from the sun. Another will detect cosmic dust that might prove dangerous for future...
Since the war, Katz has moved into some of the more abstract branches of physics, particularly those dealing with atomic nuclei. Currently, he is trying to determine the existence of the "magnetic pole"--a hypothetical particle some investigators assume to be present in cosmic rays...
