...DOCK OF THE BAY (Volt). The title song, Otis Redding's first million-selling single, was recorded a few weeks before his death in a plane crash last December. One of his catchiest and most reflective songs, it has none of the torrential outbursts and piston rhythms with which he electrified his audiences from Paris to Monterey during his brief reign as the crown prince of soul. But the album has other cuts of more typical pounding blues (I'm Coming Home and Don't Mess with Cupid), as well as some lighthearted badinage with Carla Thomas...
...order to replace a cable, the company halted service on some of the area's 575-volt heavy-duty circuits. But the 110-volt lighting circuits, which run your radios and alarm clocks, were unaffected...
Livingston was the first director of the Accelerator, which began in 1962 to produce six-billion-electron-volt electrons to probe the fundamental questions of matter...
...former director of the Accelerator, M. Stanley Livingston, has been named associate director of the National Accelerator Laboratory, a 200-billion-electron-volt proton accelerator scheduled to be built at Weston, IIIinois...
...Because the large currents that flow in superconductors generate the intense magnetic fields needed in atom smashers and in controlled fusion experiments, superconductors will eventually replace bulky elecromagnets in these areas. A 1-lb. superconducting magnet cooled by a 200-lb. refrigerating system and powered by a 6-volt battery can produce as intense a magnetic field as an iron-core electromagnet weighing several tons and requiring 50 kilowatts of power. Entire trains could be suspended above their roadbeds in strong magnetic fields produced by superconducting magnets, enabling them to travel more smoothly and with less friction at speeds over...
