Resolving Power. Other astronomers have also looked for extragalactic molecules, but without any luck. Lacking sufficiently sensitive radio telescopes, they could not detect the faint "signatures" left by such molecules in the radio waves coming from distant galaxies. To overcome that obstacle, Weliachew, now a visiting astronomer at Caltech, hooked...
It is entirely possible that the first words of the first psychiatrist were "Return to the womb." That classic concept a search for primal security-is precisely what French Designer Claude Vidili had in mind when he came up with the idea for his "Isolation Sphere," a tough and thick...
Heavy Artillery. Basically, all accelerators have the same objective: to accelerate subatomic particles to such high energies that when they strike a target they will break it apart. The impact scatters the myriad tiny components of the target's atoms in all directions, thus enabling scientists to detect and...
One of the very interesting forms the meteorite-produced glass takes is as thousands of tiny colored glass beads which are mostly less than 1/32 of an inch in diameter and appear to be splash droplets. Even these tiny objects have micro-craters on them caused by even smaller particles...
