From Democritus the Greek (400 B. C.) to the late great Englishman John Dalton (1766-1844) scientists were blandly sure that the atom was the smallest thing in the world. Modern physicists know that this is not so, that the atom is composed of a nucleus and surrounding spheres of electrons, that these constituents are capable of being separated. Scientists probing into the infinitesimal atomic nucleus with various tools, last week published new data concerning the nature of the universe and the physical properties of drinking water...
...fourth time that Albert James ("Mighty Atom") Booth had played in a game against Harvard. As captain of Yale's freshmen he had seen his team beaten 7 to 6. In 1929 and 1930 he had been on losing Yale varsities. Last week, in the soth Harvard-Yale game...
...laboratory at Notre Dame. The chemists gave up working on divinylacetylene and concentrated on the more homely mono-vinylacetylene. They treated it with hydrogen chloride and first thing they knew they had a fine pot of chloroprene. Chloroprene differs from rubber's polymer, isoprene, only in that a chlorine atom replaces the methyl group, so after that the going was fairly easy. They had only to polymerize the chloroprene to the right point, and all of them were experienced polymerizers. When they finished they put a piece of their rubber into a bottle of kerosene, left it 72 hr. When...
...that has nothing to do with releasing so-called atomic energy. There is no such energy in the sense usually meant. With my currents, using pressures as high as 15,000,000 volts, the highest ever used, I have split atoms?but no energy was released. I confess that before I made this experiment I was in some fear. I said to my assistants. I do not know what will happen. If the conclusions of certain scientists are right, the release of energy from (he splitting of an atom may mean an explosion which would wreck our apparatus and perhaps...
Electroplating is the only practical way of putting on tungsten coats. But the electroplater needs a stable solution of a tungsten salt in water. Most tungsten compounds decompose in water or else are altogether insoluble. Professor Fink's accomplishment was to prevent the tungsten atom of his sodium tungstate molecule from going into another tungsten compound. The tungsten atom, thus kept free from changing relations, could be driven by an electric current and deposited on pieces of brass, copper, zinc, iron or carbon...
