ARTICLES

Select this Article		Spectroscopy: Tool for science and technology Ralph A. Sawyer


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic From Newton's curiosity about the “phenomenon of colors” there grew spectroscopy, until recently the physicist's prime tool for exploring atomic structure, and now of ever growing usefulness to industry.

Select this Article		Creative research Roman Smoluchowski


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic Why confine support of scientific research to projects? The author, in what he calls “random thoughts on creative research,” suggests that a few individuals capable of creative scientific work should themselves be supported for what they might do.

Select this Article		Our energy resources Farrington Daniels, M. King Hubbert, and Eugene P. Wigner


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic A chemist, a geophysicist, and a theoretical physicist discussed the rush with which we are using up our mineral and energy resources at a symposium held during the centennial meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science last fall. Here is their joint report on our spending spree and their thoughts on the possibilities of solar and nuclear energy as substitutes for the fossil fuels which are fast being used up.

Select this Article		Letters on Blackett's book Volta Torrey


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic Volta Torrey, former newspaperman and Nieman Fellow, writes that many of the reviewers of P. M. S. Blackett's book, “Fear, War, and the Bomb,” seem to have hastened over one important feature in their anxiety to get at Blackett's conclusions. That feature is Blackett's use of the data from the United States Strategic Bombing Survey.
