...higher speeds, increasing the power of these little bullets becomes considerably more difficult. They absorb more energy, become more massive, and the number of electrical pulses required to accelerate the protons rises sharply. It also takes increasingly powerful magnets to keep the speeding protons from flying off their curving pathway. Even though Fermilab operated only six months last year, its electric bill ran to $12 million...

...shield. But its main insurance is its precise course. Circling the earth once every 103 minutes at an altitude of 560 miles in an orbit that carries it from pole to pole, IRAS roughly follows the line on the earth's surface where day meets night. Along this pathway, the telescope can always face 90° away from the sun, yet catch rays of sunlight on its solar panels to make electricity to power itself...

...restore the pathway, the body musters its repair troops, led by the platelets, tiny disc-shaped particles in the blood that help stop bleeding by promoting clotting. These "little plates" produce a chemical, thromboxane, that constricts blood vessels and signals other platelets to gather round. The platelets also manufacture a chemical that induces the artery's exposed underlying muscle cells to multiply. "If the injury is short-lived," says Russell Ross of the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, "the proliferation process is reversible. But if the injury is chronic and repeated in the same sites...
