Atomic Energy - Problems Of International Control.An effective plan for the international control of atomic energy on which all nations can agree has not yet been found. The debates which have taken place to date in the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission represent a first step in the process of finding a peaceful solution to this complex problem.April 12, 1949.

Experimental Atomic Battery -- Seen through a magnifying glass is the tiny experimental atomic battery announced today by RCA. By a new method the battery makes it possible to convert atomic energy directly and simply into small but useable quantities of electrical energy. Cylinder at right has a thin coating of radioactive material on its face. It is placed next to transistor-like wafer. Radiated electrons bombard wafer and release many more electrons which provide battery's current and voltage. Experiment may be forerunner of thimble-sized atomic batteries capable of operating for at least 20 years. January 26, 1954. (Photo by AP Wirephoto).

The Bees Played No Part In This Honeycomb -- Being trimmed with an ordinary pair of scissors is a 'honeycomb' that will never be in contact with honey. It is composed of aluminum foil bonded between metal sheets to make a lightweight core of amazing rigidity which can be formed to almost any shape. The new honeycomb core has been designed, developed and perfected by the Avro aircraft company although one was first patented by Dornier in 1938. The aluminum foil is only 0.003 in. thick and a pie
