A Profile of Bell

on BBC Radio 4 FM

In November 1978, Arno Penzias and Robert Wil son shared the Nobel Prize for Physics. These two scientists, unlike most Nobel Prize winners, do not work in a university but in a commercial research organisation - the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New Jersey. Peter Evans visited the laboratories to find out how Bell can reconcile the flights of fancy of aspiring Nobel Prize winners with the reality of developments for telecommunications.
