Frozen Metal Strip,
Minus Power, Tubes,
Performs as Radio
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. l9.-Vistas OF
unexplored fields of radio research
were opened today with an an
nouncement by Johns Hopkins Uni
versity scientists that they have
accidentally discovered a new meth
cd Of radio reception using only q
tiny strip of frozen metal-With-
out power source, tubes or antenna
DR.. Donald n. Andrews, professor
OF chemistry at the university aIlo
co-discoverer Of the phenomenon
said local programs had been heard
clearly by use of q piece OF column
blum nitride smaller than q COM
mon pin and made superconductive
by lowering its temperature to about
435 degrees below zero (Fahren-
heitl.
Perhaps In another two or three
months DR.. Andrews hazarded
I'VE will be able to tell what we have
here. ~
Other sources close to the uni
versity, who declined to be named
predicted, however. that the discov-
cry might lead to a revolutionary
new means of long-distance radio
Transmission and reception because
Of the treated metals great sensi-
tivity to wave impulses.
Discovery Described.
An announcement from the univer-
sity said the discovery was made by
DR.. Andrews and Dr.. Chester Clark
OF the university staff In experiments
with an infra-red ray bolometer, a
device developed at Johns Hopkins
during The war for seeing" OBJ
jects in the dark.
The bolometer consists Of cop
per base connected by wires to a
columbium nitride strip subjected
to intense cold.
Both scientists and a laboratory
technician, Miss Peggy McEwan,
were astounded to hear the loud
speaker suddenly blare forth a pro-
gram from local radio station.
Reception Is Clear.
Further experiments, the univer-
sity said, disclosed that the tiny
thread of metal had been made
sensitive to radio waves by the ex-
treme cold, and that by technical
means other stations could be tuned
in.
Reception was "as good or better"
than that Of an ordinary. household
radio.
"No claim is made for the de-
vice as q revolutionary discovery
which will change all accepted
methods of radio reception" the
university warned.
