So when the Soviet scientists detected both free neutrons and high-energy X rays coming from the tube, they thought at first that they had started a true thermonuclear reaction. More careful investigation proved that this could not be the case, but free neutrons are the "fire" that cause most nuclear transformations, and any new process that frees them is apt to prove important...

So, Charlie gasped from his iron lung: "I bin sung." Explained a fellow tribesman, acting as interpreter: "Him bin sung song of dreamtime snake. When...
...Stanford University has begun treating selected cancer patients with its six-million-volt "cancer gun," a linear electron accelerator that scientists hope will destroy cancer growths deep inside the body with high-energy X rays. Dr. Henry S. Kaplan, head of Stanford's Radiology Department, estimates it will take five to ten years to evaluate the benefits of the accelerator. Purpose of the device is to reach and treat deep-growing cancers with less damage than is caused by X rays...
