A superconductive electric cable was made by the research workers at the Power-Engineering Institute. It is a very useful device and its main property is its being cryogenic. Compared with other types of cables, it has a great advantage – its use will result in transmitting current practically without losses, which is of great importance since nowadays percentage of losses in transmitting electric power over long distances is rather high; it is ten per cent and even more.
The properties of the new cable being unique, electric current up to 10,000 amp at 10,000 V and more can be transmitted over long distances. The superconductive cryogenic transmission lines are especially efficient for Russia: the power resources of the country are known to be concentrated mainly in the eastern parts of the country while three-quarters of the industrial potential are concentrated in the European part.

The automobile is made up of three basic parts: the engine, the body and the chassis. The engine is the source of power and makes the car move.
The chassis consists of the transmission and running gear (frame, springs and wheels). The transmission carries the power from the engine to the wheels. It consists of the clutch, gearbox, propeller shaft, rear axle, final drive and differential. The transmission also includes the steering system and brakes.
The body has the hood, fenders, the heater and so on.

A solid body has a definite form, and tends to keep it; a liquid body must be kept in a vessel and adapts itself to the shape of that vessel, but so as to keep its upper surface horizontal, it tends, moreover, to flow from a higher to lower level. A gas, or a gaseous body, cannot be kept in an open vessel, but must be kept in a vessel closed in all sides; it always fills the vessel completely.

Tin is a silvery metal which is not corroded by air. The chief use is for making tin plate, i.e. sheetiron coated with tin. Tin plate is suitable for cans in which acid fruit and other food-stuffs are packed because tin is not attacked by weak acids. For good containers, iron is coated with tin instead of zinc because tin is not subject to attack by acids in food.

Why is tin plate suitable for cans?

Atomic energy must serve peaceful purposes only. This is what Academician Igor Kurchatov (1903-1960) worked for until his death.
His team of scientists worked on application of atomic energy in such fields as chemistry, geology, biology and medicine. Academician Kurchatov headed the Atomic Energy Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences (which is now bears his name) where a great deal of progress has been made in the complicated field of controlling thermo-nuclear reactions.
In 1940 Flerov and Petrzhak, two Russian Scientists, experimentally detected spontaneous nuclear fission of uranium and determined its average life-time.
