Marcus' research involves work with electron motion and submicron electronic devices, which have applications to computing information and technology...
...When Project ADAPT began, rather than scrap our existing system and all our experience, we adapted our system to Project ADAPT. As a result, we now have access to a wider variety of electron transactions and data...
...took three years for astronomers to test this theory by measuring how the sun shifted light coming from a star. The results were announced at a meeting of the Royal Society in London presided over by J.J. Thomson, who in 1897 had discovered the electron. After glancing up at the society's grand portrait of Sir Isaac Newton, Thomson told the assemblage, "Our conceptions of the fabric of the universe must be fundamentally altered." The headline in the next day's Times of London read: "Revolution in Science... Newtonian Ideas Overthrown." The New York Times, back when it knew...
...Salmonella could be zapped in meat and poultry, but the public has balked at irradiation in foods--even though it's government approved--because it involves powerful gamma rays emitted by radioactive isotopes. Now Titan Corp. in San Diego, Calif., has invented a meat pasteurization system that uses electron beams instead. Approved by the FDA and awaiting final regulations from the USDA, electronically pasteurized meat should be in selected test markets by year...
...next 20 or 30 years will spring from a growing reliance on "smart" technology. Computer chips will become ever faster, smaller and less expensive. Medical instruments and sensors will continue to shrink. (One that already has is the formerly big, lumbering machine needed for radiation treatment; today mobile electron accelerators are portable enough to be used during some cancer operations, reducing the number of healthy cells that are damaged...
