...weighs 238 units.* The barium atom weighs 137 units. Since the barium could have originated only as a fragment of the big uranium atom, it was logical to suppose that the latter had cracked asunder, in two nearly equal parts. The release of atomic energy was 200,000,000 electron-volts. Heavy atoms had been "chipped" before -that is, forced to throw off small particles like neutrons-but this was the first time they had been cracked...
...hundred-ton cyclotron, one of the most powerful atom-smashers in the world, will be on view. In addition the visitor may see the new indoor wind-tunnel for testing airplane design; the new electron bombardment furnace, producing temperatures half as hot as the sun; the 100,000 - volt storage battery, most powerful in the world; the high-frequency radio equipment making automatic records of condition in the ionosphere; experiments which have led to a new theory of mountain formation; and many other laboratory features...
...Electron Microscopes now attract much attention among scientists who want to see ever smaller & smaller things. The magnification of ordinary microscopes is limited by the wave nature of light. Some things are so small that they slip through the meshes of the light rays like BB shot through a tennis net. Instead of a beam of light the electron microscope utilizes a beam of electrons, which have wave lengths thousands of times shorter than visible light but also make impressions on photographic plates...
...last week was a picture taken by Professor L. C. Martin of London's Imperial College which showed a germ called Micrococcus flavus magnified 16,000 times. Last week in Richmond, Dr. Vladimir Kosma Zworykin of RCA Manufacturing Co. showed fluorescent-screen projections, made with his electron microscope, of tungsten crystals in which the molecules themselves could be distinguished in the molecular structure...
