...travel, at 25? apiece. Now, so phenomenally safe are railroads, fewer riders bother to insure. But air travelers with no such feeling of security are anxious to insure beyond their ordinary life insurance, and insurance groups have long pondered what rates they could make to obtain this potential new business. Last week, Air Transport Association of America announced a new $5,000 policy for airline travelers, roughly similar to railroad insurance, and at the same price...

Fast moving electrons make an impression on a photographic plate as X-rays do, but Davisson's electrons were too slow to obtain such a picture. So he "felt" the pattern of his reflected beam by moving an electron collector around in the recoil region. Connected to an ammeter, the collector translated the strength of the electron beam at a number of points into measured electric current. The pattern having been thus patiently and ingeniously mapped out, it was seen to consist of true diffraction rings. Concluded the researchers: "Our experiments establish the wave nature of moving electrons with...
