Heavier Hydrogen Gas Brewed By Fractional Distillation
A 437 degree below zero Fahrenheit still produced heavy hydrogen, twice as heavy as ordinary hydrogen yet pure. Dr. F G Brickwedde liquefied hydrogen under pressure to reveal a new heavy atom with a nucleus of three charges, comprising two positives and one negative, signaling a promising area for physics experiments. Harold C Urey and G M Murphy at Columbia explained the heavy atom's structure and potential.

Science's Big Strides In 1931 Promise- Even Greater Wonders During Next Year
A review of 1931 science highlights major advances and notable losses. Edison, Michelson, Wegener died while Einstein relativity faced revisions as Hubble and Tolman expanded cosmic expansion theories. Pickering hinted a new planet P and meteors surged in Leonids. Advances in atomic research, chemistry, evolution, and practical technologies dominated, alongside exploration feats and the Meuse fog poisoning mystery.
