Liquid hydrogen is rugged stuff to fool with, so cold (boiling point: -252.7° C. at atmospheric pressure) that steel cracks on sudden contact. It must be elaborately refrigerated or it will flash into vapor. Even a small leak is highly explosive. The 150 gal. in Berkeley's chamber have the explosive power...
...tiny, tubular quartz lamp billed as "one of the most important basic improvements in incandescent lamps since Thomas Edison." The pencil-shaped tube lasts twice as long and is one two-hundredth the size of a standard industrial lighting lamp, does not grow dim throughout its life. Iodine vapor in the bulb prevents the formation of blackening carbon on the inside; the lamp's high operating temperature incinerates dirt that touches the outside. Because of their small size, the new lamps can be used to throw exact lighting patterns for show windows, building facades, sports fields, airports. They will...
