...research." In practice, this means that Futan has completely dropped the traditional courses in literature and science and replaced them with such subjects as electronics and optics-and it conducts those classes in its own factories. Built and operated by the university, the factories produce equipment ranging from quartz-tungsten lamps to logic circuits for third-generation computers. The university also plans a petrochemical plant. "The purpose of these factories is to serve as a base for scientific experiments," explains Tang Chin-wen, 39, the textile-mill technician whose ardent agitprop work won him the leadership of the university...
...pioneer in powder metallurgy (a method of producing metal parts without melting the components), Schwarzkopf developed techniques that allowed the U.S. to overcome a shortage of pure iron during World War II and produce millions of parts for field telephones and similar instruments. Among his other discoveries was tungsten carbide, a substance so hard that it has all but displaced diamonds as drill bits...
...produce high-voltage insulators of unmatched purity The oven could easily fuse other highly heat-resistant materials: quartz crystals for radio transmitters, corundum for industrial grinding stones and zircon parts for nuclear reactors. It could also be used in experiments to develop new space-age alloys, such as special tungsten or cobalt steels, and even materials to withstand the searing heat of a nuclear blast...
