...ordinary exhibitions, a sabre match in the dark with phosphorus-treated hilts; and an epee match, in which the two contestants had balloons attached to their ankles and throats, added to the interest...
...elements with alpha particles (TIME, Feb. 12). Since then their results have been reproduced and extended in dozens of laboratories in a half-dozen countries, notably England, Italy, the U. S. Italy's Professor Enrico Fermi and his aids have coaxed radiations of beta particles (fast electrons) from phosphorus, iron, silicon, aluminum, chlorine, vanadium, copper, arsenic, silver, tellurium, iodine, chromium, barium, fluorine, sodium, magnesium, titanium, zirconium, zinc, strontium, antimony, selenium, bromine...
...radio-silicon. They foresaw the use in cancer therapy of packets of artificial radio-elements, which, because they disintegrate as the radiation dwindles, would not have to be withdrawn from the body after treatment as radium seeds must be. They told of experiments presaging the production of a radio-phosphorus which would emit neutrons (emitted by no natural radioactive substance). And they spoke of work indicating the existence of the neutrino, an ultimate particle lacking electrical charge like the neutron, but small in mass like the electron. Many a physicist has held the neutrino's existence called...
...Gray puts his lead patients on a diet low in calcium, high in phosphorus. They avoid milk, most important source of calcium, and eat quantities of phosphorous-rich eggs, whole wheat bread, lamp chops, liver, green peas, pineapple juice, baked potatoes, halibut. The deleading must not go on too rapidly, said Dr. Gray, otherwise the lead may be disastrously shifted into the central nervous system...
Last January the Curie-Joliots of Paris pegged alpha particles (helium nuclei) into boron nuclei and got nitrogen. Similarly magnesium became silicon; alumi-num-phosphorus...
