Kudos-The $1,000 prize for the best paper presented at the meeting went to Dr. Henry Eyring, 32, research associate at Princeton, for smart use of Nobel Laureate Max Planck's Quantum Mechanics to explain how the elements hold together in chemical combinations. By mathematics he has shown how to make light hydrogen atoms spin clockwise or counterclockwise at will, how to introduce bromine into organic compounds most easily. By mathematics he has proved that pure fluorine is the least active of the halogen group of elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine), a fact which controverts accepted chemistry...
