Ernest Orlando Lawrence's cyclotron would revolutionize nuclear physics, but that was only the beginning of its impact. It would change our understanding of the basic building blocks of nature. It would help win World War II. Its influence would be felt in academia and international politics. It was the beginning of Big Science."--Novelist.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 530.092 Lawrence Hi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.092 Lawrence Hi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
