Value Of Exchange Of Knowledge
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, November 1. Technological and scientific exchanges in both personnel and knowledge would be of significant value in time, the Soviet Minister to New Zealand (Mr B. Y. Dorofeev), who recently returned from home leave, said today.
As an example, he cited the co-operation between Russia and France to produce “very cheap” colour television. A special sputnik would be put up in association With French scientists, to transmit colour television between the two countries. Asked what Russian scientific developments were of most current significance, Mr Dorofeev named four, which a director of the Moscow Academy of Science had described to him —an electronic microscope with magnification of hundreds of thousands to enable viruses such as that of cancer to be studied; steel specially treated so that it is three or four times lighter than now, harder and more durable; nuclear power without heat transfer, in which
the first step has been taken and which would lead to “unlimited resources of energy,” and machine tools with an air pillow so that one person can easily move or manipulate them.
“Each of these developments will be a revolution in its own sphere,” said Mr Dorofeev.
