Epochal Advance in Atomic Energy Research
General Electric scientists used a 100,000,000 volt betatron to blast an atom and produce Meson, a fundamental particle not previously created by man. Meson, a strong cosmic ray energy form, acts about 200 times the electron and decays in roughly two millionths of a second, enabling potential vast power and particle applications.
