Excerpt: Under the hammer ?think you?re going to like killing, boy?? Asked the old man on double crutches. Rob jenne turned from the streams of moving cargo to his unnoticed companion in the shade of the starship?s hull. His own eyes were pale gray, suited like his dead-white skin to burlage, whose ruddy sun could raise a blush but not a tan. When they adjusted, they took in the clerical collar which completed the other?s costume. The smooth, black synthetic contrasted o...
Excerpt: The Los Alamos laboratory, under the direction of J. Robert Oppenheimer, begins operation as Project Y of the Manhattan Project. The Bethe-Feynman formula, a simple method for calculating the yield of a fission bomb, is derived.

Excerpt: High-Temperature Superconductivity: In the first issue of LASL Science, we reported an enormous lattice softening in Ir-Y alloys, which reached a minimum near the eutectic composition. This softening had implications for superconductivity which were thoroughly discussed in our article.

Excerpt: The electronics industry is learning to do without: It is having to abandon one of its long-time staples, lead?tin solder. For decades lead?tin solder has been used to attach electronic components to printed wiring boards. However, with the body of evidence pointing to serious adverse health effects of lead, the search for a replacement has spawned intense effort in the electronics industry and in universities. Now scientists think they may have found some promi...
3 May. Bistritz. -- Left Munich at 8:35 P.M., on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour late. Buda-Pesth seems a wonderful place, from the glimpse which I got of it from the train and the little I could walk through he streets. I feared to go very far from the station, as we had arrived late and would start as near the correct time as possible.
Excerpt: Nanotechnology is…StructureAbility to control or manipulateon the atomic scale.Novel propertiesCreating and using structures, devices and systems that have novel properties and functionsbecause of their small and/or intermediate size.the ability to work at the molecular level, atom-by-atom, to create large structures with fundamentally new molecular organization.
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic size scale to produce new structures, materials, and devices. Materials exhibit unique properties at the nanoscale level, which affect their physical, chemical and biological behavio...
Excerpt: Science and technology are on the verge of a revolution, fueled by what Dr. John Marburger, President Bush’s science advisor, calls “the atom-by-atom understanding of functional matter.” The revolution goes by the name of “nanotechnology,” and it offers a dazzling range of possibilities for observing the functioning of living systems, modifying the functional properties of materials, and designing atomic-scale structures with entirely new properties.
