Production was relatively small, however, until huge discoveries were made on Alaska's remote North Slope.

All of these discoveries were eagerly covered by the world's press, but most of their representatives were kept in their hotels ; only H. V. Morton was allowed on the scene, and his vivid descriptions helped to cement Carter's reputation with the British public.

The use of adjuvant analgesics is an important and growing part of the pain-control field and new discoveries are made practically every year.

The discovery and elucidation of aberration is now regarded as a classic case of the application of scientific method, in which observations are made to test a theory, but unexpected results are sometimes obtained that in turn lead to new discoveries.

They made some surprising discoveries.

Large discoveries continue to be made, such as the massive nickel find at Voisey's Bay.

There are many anecdotes about his precocity while a toddler, and he made his first ground-breaking mathematical discoveries while still a teenager.
