Moreover, the sliver-thin Marshall atolls cannot handle the mass of instrumentation that scientists use. Most of the equipment used in the last tests in 1958 has been removed or left to rust; re-use of the sites would save neither time nor money...

A few months later they achieved the "transistor effect," a greatly amplified signal, using only a sliver of germanium and three wires...
