Our History
Originally known as the Wyoming Institute of Education and Nuclear Energy Research, WIT was founded in 1943 by Dr. Matt Stone Sr. and Dr. Montgomery ?Monty? Allen III, who were commissioned by the US Government to study molecular damage from long-term radiation exposure as a part of the Manhattan Project.
From August of 1949 through December 1951, WIT researchers made a number of key discoveries that would eventually lead to the invention of color television sets.
