...picture taken holding a hollow globe of paraffin as big as a pumpkin, standing beside a piece of apparatus that looked like stovepipe put together with baling wire (see cut). Said Dr. Fermi: "The most obvious application of artificial radioactivity which can be foreseen is in the medicinal field. Radium, naturally radioactive, is used for the treatment of cancer. The completely new radioactive substances created in the laboratory should give medical men new tools, some of which may prove more efficient than radium...
...California, whose huge apparatus produces a beam of 10,000,000 neutrons a second, finds that on the white blood cells of rats neutrons exert ten times the destructive effect of X rays of equal intensity. As laid down last month in the American Journal of Roentgenology and Radium Therapy, the biologic neutron problems now confronting science are these...
...annual convention in Los Angeles last week. Purpose of that body is to register men and women technicians who, under orders of a regular physician, treat "disease by non-medical means, comprising the use of physical, chemical and other properties of heat, light, water, electricity (except Roentgen Rays, Radium and Electrosurgery), massage and exercise...
...best biographical motion pictures of 1935, in which Paul Muni plays the leading figure of a great Frenchman, is Warner Brothers' (1 The Story of Louis Pasteur, 2 Briand, the Peacemaker, 3 The Tiger of France, 4 Radium's Discovery, 5 The Magnificent Marshal Foch...
...were tuned to longer wave lengths of radiation, it would be able to see radio waves. The ethereal wiggles that gird the globe with speech and music are part of the same electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light, ultraviolet and infra-red radiation, x-rays, gamma rays from radium. Hence under ideal conditions radio waves travel at the velocity of light - about 186,270 mi. per sec. - and for many a year radiomen assumed that wireless signals always traveled at that pace in their journeys around Earth. Last week Dr. Harlan True Stet son of Harvard informed the Institute...
