...last Explorer has fallen silent, and the current series of U.S.-made satellites is spinning to its end. Last week Roy W. Johnson, director of the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), announced plans for the U.S.'s next series. The new "Discoverer" series will include Sputnik-sized reconnaissance satellites revolving in north-south orbits that cross both poles...
...than $2,000,000 at its specialty: turning out high-quality engineers. Last year, under Acting President Stratton-who took over when President Killian was named Special Assistant for Science and Technology to President Eisenhower-M.I.T. spent almost $21 million for operating costs, another $54 million on sponsored research projects. But more important than a ballooned budget are M.I.T.'s expanded objectives. The institute still trains some of the nation's best engineers, now also concentrates on developing some of its most able pure scientists...
...physics at Zurich, returned to M.I.T. to teach electrical engineering, soon switched to physics. His first big administrative task after World War II: organizing the successor to the institute's wartime Radiation Laboratory, which had been chiefly responsible for the development of radar, under a new title-the Research Laboratory of Electronics. He became known for a quiet manner, for almost painfully earnest efforts to resolve clashing points of view, and for a broad understanding of how to bridge the shifting boundaries between scientific disciplines...
EXOTIC FUEL DEAL will link Dow Chemical with U.S. Borax (TIME, June 10, 1957) to research ways for economic manufacture of boron trichloride, used in high-energy Space Age fuels...
Millions for Research. The breakthrough at Macy's is the result of a major advance at venerable N.C.R., the world's No. 1 seller of cash registers and No. 2 maker of office equipment (after International Business Machines). N.C.R. is hustling to expand beyond mechanical to electronic machines. In this fiercely competitive field, N.C.R. started long after IBM, Remington Rand or Burroughs; its real push began only in 1952, when N.C.R. bought the small Computer Research Corp. of Hawthorne, Calif. (TIME, Oct. 6, 1952). Since then it has moved fast, boosted its research and development bill from...
