Indeed, second-place Chris Thorpe and Gordy Sheer came within 22/1,000ths of a second of the mighty Germans, who had collected a gold, a silver and a bronze in the previous three Olympics.

The pile produced at least ico different byproducts. Most are unstable isotopes of familiar elements (the same periodic numbers but different atomic weights...
