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...
...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...
...process, a water-cooled, 30-ft.-long steel lance is lowered through the top of the furnace, like a narrow straw into a thick-walled cream pot, and sprays compressed oxygen at supersonic speeds over the bubbling mix. With a roar that would drown out a brace of jet fighters, the oxygen burns off the sulphur, carbon and other impurities in the white mass. Because it takes barely half an hour to cook a batch of LD steel, v. eight hours in the conventional, open-hearth furnace, the oxygen process melts the costs of labor, power and fuel. Production costs...
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...
