Black and white photograph of Josef Eisinger, left, with Robert Shulman, talking behind a large model of DNA, which they are studying at Bell Laboratories. Original caption: "Bell Laboratories' scientists, Josef Eisinger (left) and Robert Shulman, discuss their work on DNA, the molecule which carries genetic information in the cell. A model of the DNA molecule is in the foreground. Aided by their colleagues in BTL's Biophysics Research Department, Dr. Shulman, head of the department, and Dr. Eisinger have been experimenting with DNA molecules in order to understand them from a physical viewpoint. Their work has led, so far, to more knowledge about what happens to the electronic properties of DNA when 'excited' by ultraviolet light and more exact conclusions about the molecule's structure.
