...when an electric current -- which is simply a stream of moving electrons -- flows in a conductor, electrons move from empty slot to empty slot in the outer shells of the atoms. A material like rubber, on the other hand, is an insulator: it consists largely of atoms with completely filled, stable outer shells. Thus when voltage is applied, electrons have no empty slots to move into, and no current flows...

...river's problems begin in the boomtown of Mexicali, which since 1970 has more than doubled its size, to an estimated population of 1 million.

Other contaminants are added to the stew as the river continues northward, churning through a garbage dump, past cattle feedlots and dairies, and within yards of ramshackle slums. On the edges of town, such classic polluters as food-processing and chemical plants dump ! organic wastes, pesticides, solvents and other chemicals into slime-filled ditches that drain...
