Adventures in Research was broadcast from Westinghouse's flagship Pittsburgh radio station. Piece of Silk aired, February 2, 1943; Fight Against Fire aired, February 9, 1943.

Each tells the story of an important discovery or invention, and dramatizes the words and actions of those involved in the discovery.

A Piece of Silk is about, André-Jacques Garneri, the man who perfected the first parachute. Fight Against Fire focused on the bombs used in the war effort.

Paul Shannon was the host and it was sponsored by Westinghouse and Phillip Thomas, a Westinghouse physicist, who wrote the show's scripts.
