...tremendous gravitational forces of the giant bodies, combined with their huge amounts of hydrogen, produce self-sustaining fusion reactions. But producing controlled fusion on earth is a far more difficult task-and to do it practically and economically may well be the most complicated technological venture ever attempted. Says Physicist Gerald Yonas of New Mexico's Sandia Laboratories, a federally supported atomic research facility: "It's the most exciting area today in science. Fusion power is a mountain we have to climb...

...ocean depths may become a new counterpart of the space program. Scientists are engaged in-a fascinating search into the structure of atomic particles. "This is a new world of muons, of quarks, and we shall have to invent a new language to cope with it," says M.I.T. Physicist Victor Weisskopf. Others are exploring DNA, the stuff of life itself...
...suddenly, the hunt for these tiny particles has taken a dramatic turn. At the American Physical Society's annual meeting in Washington, D.C., this week, Physicist William Fairbank and his colleagues at Stanford University are expected to reveal the results of an experiment that could demonstrate the existence of quarks. Said Columbia University's Gerald Feinberg: "If it's true -and I'm skeptical-it would force us to alter our ideas quite radically...
