Working under a grant from Canada s National Research Council, she placed chilled, water-soaked wheat seed in chambers that provide optimum light temperature and humidity for growth' Into all but the experimental control chambers she piped continuous tones of either 5,000 or 12,000 cycles per second. Every week or two during their first eight weeks of growth, randomly selected seedlings were measured and weighed, and their roots, leaves and shoots counted. To decrease the chance error, the entire experiment was repeated ten times over a period of nearly two years...

Instead, the Germans turned to heavy water for a moderator. However, they were hamstrung for the remainder of the war when an Allied sabotage team crippled the world's only heavy-water plant, at Vemork in occupied Norway. Meanwhile, Enrico Fermi had constructed the world's first working uranium pile in Chicago-using graphite...
