...boulder gave them a Geiger count of 10,000. Then they noticed that a landslide ^ from a 200-ft. hill had pushed the "hot" uranium rocks down toward the creek. Said Cab Driver Clem Walton: Nature has done a remarkable thing for us." Working up the hillside, with Geigers clicking, they got counts up to a fantastic 48,000. The prospectors promptly staked out a mile-square claim, named it Mary Kathleen after McConachie's wife, who had died ten days before. As word of the strike hit the newspapers, 14 companies began bidding for the lease. It looked...
...daring technique of "controlled cross transfusion" as a possible aid in heart operations had been under study for years by a team of eleven Minneapolis doctors, headed by Surgeon Clarence Walton Lillehei. Not until six weeks ago did the Minneapolis doctors, finally satisfied that they had taken every precaution possible against its many dangers, feel ready to try it. Their first patient was Gregory Glidden, 13 months, who had an opening between the ventricles of his heart. The donor's blood had to match the baby's, and the doctors decided that his father's was suitable...

...Fusion" of light elements, on which the hydrogen bomb depends, is the senior source of nuclear energy. More than 20 years ago, at Cambridge University, Physicists John D. Cockcroft and Ernest T. S. Walton shot hydrogen nuclei (protons) from a primitive high-voltage machine at a lithium target. A few of the protons hit lithium nuclei. The product of each such reaction: two atoms of helium and 17.3 million electron-volts of energy...
Except for such demonstrations as the 1932 Cockcroft-Walton experiment, the only way to get a fusion reaction is to raise the temperature. The hotter a material gets, the faster its atoms move. If it gets hot enough, they may hit one another so hard that they combine into larger atoms, yielding the energy of fusion...
