If you do not use a muscle or any part of the body, it tends to become atrophic. So is the case with the brain. The more you use it, the better it becomes.
Simultaneous recording with superimposed ionization chambers and Wilson chambers, ionization chambers and sets of counting tubes, has not yet been carried out.
To demonstrate this simultaneity is by no means trivial, because it may for example happen that the product nucleus always forms in an activated state at first.
Lester Germer was my first supervisor at Bell Labs. He was the Germer of the Davisson and Germer Experiment that is sometimes referred to in introductory texts on physics.
The profession of a prostitute is the only career in which the maximum income is paid to the newest apprentice.
The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them

All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene.
