A Raytheon Co. scientist has discovered that transistors, which are far smaller than any ordinary microphones, have areas that can detect fantastically faint mechanical forces and translate them into sizable changes of voltage -just as a microphone does...

Eight feet of concrete and lead are used to shield the experimental hall personnel from the ring's radiation...
