...then and there impetuously offered two $1,000 prizes. One was to go to the first person to reduce the information on one page of a book to one twenty-five-thousandth of the linear scale of the original "in such manner that it can be read by an electron microscope"; the other would go to the inventor of an electrically powered rotating motor no bigger than a cube one sixty-fourth of an inch high...
...Harvard clock a thin trickle of hydrogen gas flows through an apparatus that splits its two-atom molecules into single atoms. Each of these atoms has one proton and one electron, but some of them have slightly more energy than the others because their electrons are spinning in a different way. When the atom stream shoots through a system of magnets, the low-energy atoms in it are deflected sideways while the high-energy ones converge, pass through a small hole in a 6-in. quartz bulb. The bulb is lined with paraffin which does not affect the atom...

...their 1960 Joint Awards in medical research. The recipients (who each received $2,500 and a Winged Victory statuette) included two scientists who are not medical researchers at all: German Engineer Ernst Ruska and U.S. Research Physicist James Hillier, who together are largely responsible for development of the electron microscope. Up to 500 times as powerful as the best optical microscope, the electron microscope has already given man his first look at viruses and promises to become one of medicine's most useful tools. Says Physicist Hillier, 45: "The electron microscope is like the monkey wrench on the garage...
