Soon after Bohr reached Sweden, a British bomber arrived to pick him up. During the dangerous flight, while the bomber dodged German fighters, he almost died of asphyxiation from a faulty oxygen mask. From England he went on to the U.S., where the news that he had brought in 1939 had already mushroomed into the enormous Manhattan Project for constructing the first atom bomb...
...lesson of history, to use a thoroughly non-operational concept, is that men can successfully live in more than one intellectual world. Priestley, discoverer of oxygen, published twenty-five volumes of theology; the great mathematicians Sylvester and Hamilton were voluminous poets. From these examples and many more like them, it does not follow that all one needs to do is sit back and wait for the gap between scientific and humane in America to close, as it did in Europe. The conspicuous lack of significant scientists or humanists who straddle the gap today testifies otherwise. Men can live than...
...Garrett Corp., the hostility of space is an industrial bonanza. Since it pressurized the cabins of World War II's high-flying B-29 bombers, Garrett has become the U.S.'s foremost specialist in keeping men alive in the yonder beyond their familiar surroundings. Garrett supplies oxygen gear for the Mercury astronauts, and is designing the breathing systems and environmental controls that will see U.S. Apollo crewmen to the moon...
...Scientists Dr. John Cowdery Kendrew, 45, and Dr. Max Ferdinand Perutz, 48, of Cambridge's Laboratory of Molecular Biology, who shared the Nobel award for chemistry. After involved experiments using X rays, Perutz and Kendrew mapped the complex three-dimension architecture of two protein molecules-hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and myoglobin, which delivers oxygen to muscles. This achievement is an important early step toward a more complete understanding of proteins, the building blocks of all life...
Today a majority of the world's basic oxygen furnaces employ the LD process under license deals that furnish much of Austria's foreign exchange. And tomorrow, say steelmen, every new steel furnace will use some kind of oxygen process...
