Junior Kudos. The Langmuir $1,000 prize for the stimulus of brilliant young chemists went to Dr. Oscar Knefler Rice, 29, son of an immigrant Viennese scientist, Harvard instructor, a prodigy in the application of higher mathematics to the problems of atomic and molecular physics...
...also used modern theories of statistics to describe metals and electro-capillarity. The past year his researches have been devoted to finding out what happens to the energy contained in molecules of gases when the molecules break up. His present program is to determine the process by which molecular energy is transferred back & forth between molecules in a heated...
...front cover) Texas last week rubbed out the one Republican patch on its huge and other wise Democratic Congressional map. By so doing it definitely handed control of the 72nd House of Representatives which meets this week for the first time, over to Democracy by a molecular majority. On that majority a stocky little Texan with fiery blue eyes and stubbly white hair pre pared to mount the rostrum to the stiff high-backed chair which holds the Speaker of the House and a power second only to that of the President. His name was John Nance Garner...
...enthusiastic du Pont Co. immediately christened their product Duprene, ordered a plant built at Deepwater, N. J. to manufacture rt commercially. Since it needs only acetylene, salt and water, it will not be expensive to make. Duprene looks like natural rubber, shows the same molecular makeup in xray, but is denser, more resistant to water absorption, to attacks by ozone, oxygen and other chemicals, to swelling by gasoline & kerosene. It is vulcanized by heat alone, without sulphur. At high temperatures it hardens slowly. Its powers of resistance are expected to give it many commercial uses now denied to rubber...
Professor Williams has made an intensive study of atomic reactions in high voltage insulations, and has done much to reconcile the theory of molecular reactions as advanced by physical-chemists with the practical application of dialectrics for high voltage as practiced by electrical engineers. He studied abroad for several years under Professor Debye, eminent Geman exponent of the Dipole theory of reactions. Recently the General Electric has employed him in research work along this line...
