...contributed their knowledge and disciplines to its science. World War II itself gave U.S. science its decisive impetus, for from the war came the tools and instruments that have made possible the scientific explosion. Out of wartime radar research grew the pure materials that later enabled William Shockley to develop the transistor. From the U.S.'s atomic bomb program came the cheap and plentiful radioactive tracers that have since transformed chemistry, biology and several other sciences. It is no coincidence that where the U.S. had only 15 Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry and medicine in the 39 years before World...
Cancer, too, is a target of molecular biology. Harvard's Dr. John Enders, a virologist whose tissue cultures made polio vaccine possible, believes that some cancers in lower animals are certainly caused by viruses.
