Addressing the Crisis in Fundamental Physics
I present the case for fundamental physics experiments in space playing an
important role in addressing the current "dark energy'' crisis. If cosmological
observations continue to favor a value of the dark energy equation of state
parameter w=-1, with no change over cosmic time, then we will have difficulty
understanding this new fundamental physics. We will then face a very real risk
of stagnation unless we detect some other experimental anomaly. The advantages
of space-based experiments could prove invaluable in the search for the a more
complete understanding of dark energy. This talk was delivered at the start of
the Fundamental Physics Research in Space Workshop in May 2006.Comment: 11 pages, Opening talk presented at the 2006 Workshop on Fundamental

Fabrication of large tungsten structures by chemical vapor deposition
Process is accomplished by reducing tungsten hexafluoride with hydrogen. Metallic tungsten of essentially 100 percent purity and density is produced and built up as dense deposit on heated mandrel assembly. Process variations are building up, sealing or bonding refractory metals at temperatures below transition temperatures of base metal substrates
