...Ballard and two younger partners, engineer Paul Howard and electrochemist Keith Prater, changed course, winning a contract from the Canadian military to research a more exotic form of power. Fuel cells had been around for 150 years and were used in the Gemini space program but were thought to be too expensive for any practical use. As Ballard's team began to make the cells lighter, smaller and thus cheaper, it realized that the technology could eventually be used in vehicles...
...Soviet Union has apparently agreed to permit the emigration of Benjamin Levich, a world-renowned electrochemist who is being offered a teaching post at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology...
Civil Rights Leader Valery Chalidze argues that the law violates Article 121 of the Soviet constitution, which guarantees free education with no strings attached. He also points out that the levies have reduced some Jews to an illegal condition of "debt bondage," or permanent peonage. The world-famous Soviet electrochemist, Benjamin Levich, puts it more succinctly: "The levies may create a new category-the slaves of the 20th century...
...Machine parts made of powdered metals. Says Electrochemist Colin Garfield Fink of Columbia University: "The basic idea is simple. Fill any mold with a metal powder. Apply pressure, and increase the temperature to a certain point. ... A hard metal object is promptly produced." Advantages: speed, economy and the opportunity to make parts of a single object out of different metals, molded together...
Metallurgists have tried to produce colored stainless steel for years. One of the first patents, issued to Columbia University's crack Electrochemist Colin Garfield Fink in 1933, has never been industrially developed. Researchers of Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corp. are reported to have hit on a promising technique, but they are keeping it under wraps for the present. Mr. Bach, skeptical of patent protection, kept mum about his method for quite a while...
