Abstract
REFERRING to the notice of my recent Trueman Wood lecture on p. 420 of NATURE of December 25 last, let me explain that I admitted that we could not at present tap or utilise intra-atomic energy except what is given us spontaneously. But we may claim to be utilising intra-atomic properties, since without some kind of disintegration the right kind of projectiles would not be available. I say clearly in the lecture “it is atomic properties rather than atomic energy that are at present being utilised” in wireless telephony.
