...often important for doctors to know how much water there is in a patient's body, especially if he has heart disease. Almost 20 years ago, Physicist George Hevesy worked out a way to use the stable isotope of hydrogen (deuterium or hydrogen-2) in heavy water for this purpose. But the technique is complicated and takes a long time. Now the University of California's Dr. John H. Lawrence, one of the first and most imaginative of the atomic medicine men, can do the job far faster with heavy-heavy water, the oxide of hydrogen3 or tritium...
...first radio-iodine used had an atomic weight of 128, but Dr. Joseph G. Hamilton, pioneering with it at the University of California complained that it lost its radioactivity too fast' Physicist Glenn Seaborg nodded, said-"I'll see what I can find." He found iodine-131 -Which is also believed to be the vital element in the H-bomb.*Thanks to the accident of prior discovery, radium has never been brought under similar control. Anyone can buy as much as he can afford and carry it home in his pocket. It might cost...
...method of cancer diagnosis employing the use of an atomic particle was revealed Monday by Dr. William Herbert Sweet, assistant professor of Surgery, and Dr. Gordon L. Brownell, Massachusetts General Hospital physicist and research associate at M.I.T...
Robert Ashenhurst '50, until last year known to his intimates as a summa physicist, introduced the song and dance musical to Radcliffe. Since his first production a year ago, his reputation and skill have grown in equal amounts--which is to say that this year's Annex-dotes is musically superior to last year's fine...
When the gas breaks through the earth's magnetic field, the physicist said, the hydrogen particle become luminescent upon contact with the atmosphere some 200 miles above the earth's surface...
