...copper), Ness noticed that the little furnace did not burn out as soon as expected, discovered that lithium vapor was preventing oxidation of the steel. Then it was found that a little lithium lasted a long time because it was being chemically regenerated from its own oxide by the carbon monoxide present in the fuel gas. This discovery the Patent Office refused to believe until U.S. examiners went to the little brick laboratory in Newark, saw with their own eyes how lithium worked. Then they granted broad basic patents...
...whole new family of plastics is based on the element silicon, rather than the element carbon which provides the chemical skeleton for the majority. These "silicones" are the result of research by Corning Glass Works (glass might be called a silicon plastic) and engineering by Dow Chemical Co. First uses, undoubtedly military, have not been disclosed. The silicones, solid or liquid, have one extraordinary property: an ability to stand extreme temperatures characteristic of their silicon parentage...

...baking or brewing varieties, grown by germ culture methods in sugar or molasses. It may be served as a soup, powder, flake or paste, may be sprinkled on porridge, spread on bread, mixed with other foods. Its flavor is cautiously described as "palatable." It is rich in protein, carbon and sulfur, has a high vitamin B content...
...Advantages. Now on its way, Permanente may some day have advantages over other magnesium producers: its raw material costs average 4? a Ib. v. 14? for the ferrosilicon process used by Union Carbide & Carbon; its power costs are below those for the "sea water" process used by No. 1 U.S. magnesium-maker Dow Chemical. In the head-to-head battle of metals (steel v. aluminum v. magnesium, etc.) which will surely follow the Armistice, this will mean easy going for Permanente, tougher sledding for its competitors...
