...moment, the work remain at the experimental level. But Dingle see many practical future applications, ranging from stereo set components that require less energy to a new generation o high-speed computers and telephone transmission systems. Even more dazzling devices may be in the offing. At present semiconductors are flat; their electrons, for all practical purposes, flow in a single plane. But with the new layering technique, Dingle foresees three-dimensional devices in which electrons flow in all directions. That could make possible even tinier circuitry that would make today's minuscule computers look like veritable dinosaurs...

Thad McNulty obligingly ran the race of his college career, grabbing eight, but more importantly setting a quick pace that was the key to the Harvard whitewash...
