Tracks to Innovation: Nuclear Tracks in Science and Technology
By R. L. Fleischer, Robert L. Fleischer
In the early 1960s, it was discovered that when mica is exposed to energetic charged particles (from radioactive decays or cosmic rays, for example), the particles leave latent tracks in the materi...
