and math. Shortly after, the Society for the Encouragement of National Industry paid her to study the magnetic properties of steel, where she met her lab partner and future husband, Pierre Curie. Fascinated with the work of fellow physicist, Henri Becquerel, and the study of…

How big is ‘small’? Is it a grain of sand, a speck of dirt, a strand of hair, a drop of water? Is it the size of what humans can see, with our own two eyes? Is ‘small’ bigger than that? Or is it much, much less? For years, people tried to discover the definition of small for the scientific world. Does ‘small’ act the same way as ‘big’? Can the movements of ‘small’ be described and categorized? All of these questions were analyzed over and over by scientist for hundreds of years, to form what is…

He placed the crystal onto a photographic plate and exposed it to the rays. Becquerel hypothesized that the sunlight absorbed by the crystal was released as x-rays and would leave and image on the plate. Having to leave the experiment for a few days, because of inclimate weather, Becquerel came back to the experiment and saw that a clear image was printed on the plate even though there was no sunlight to stimulate the crystal. He…

In this stasis map paper there is four parts of an argument that will be discussed.This argument process was developed by Aristotle and Hermogenes, in ancient Greece.The four parts are conjecture, definition, quality and policy. Conjecture is the cause and the effect of an argument.Definition is the “What is the nature of the problem/issue?What exactly is the problem/issue?What kind of a problem/issue is it?To what larger class of things or events does it belong? What are its parts, and how are…

Uranium Paetyn Blockhus Why do you think people thought when they first discovered uranium? The warfare has changed when uranium was introduced. The discovery of radioactivity and other things in uranium has been discovered over the years. The size and weight of uranium is one of its many characteristics. The world had changed when they started using and mining uranium. The fun facts of uranium are truly surprising. Uranium is an…

Gallium scans, Gastric Emptying, MUGA scans, and Spect Brain scans are just a few of the scans that were formed, thanks to the nuclear medicine of today. In 1896, a man by the name of Henri Becquerel discovered that uranium penetrating rays were similar to X-rays. This leads to other numerous discovers like the finding of elements polonium and radium, to the cyclotron invented by Ernest Lawrence that included the ability to produce radioisotopes of different elements. This leads to 1946, where…

Rontgen didn’t understand how the radioactive rays were produced and neither did anyone until Henri Becquerel was experimenting with uranium salts and discover that the rays were emitting from the salts themselves and was named “radioactivity” by Marie Curie. Radiation is produced by both natural and artificial/man-made sources. Natural sources that would…

hand has a greater effect to prevent conflict between countries. Nuclear weapons played a major role in the history of mankind. The history of nuclear weapons began in 1896 year, the discovery of radioactivity by the French physicist Antoine-Henri Becquerel . Nuclear weapons have horrific effects, massive explosions, radiation, severe burns. For example, during the second world war when America threw a nuclear bomb on Japan(August 6 the first bomb on Hiroshima city in Japan and on August 9 of…

Medical Aspect of Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear chemistry is a growing subfield of chemistry. Although it has also has been used for the destruction of humanity in history this paper discuss on how it has been helpful through medical aspects. Nuclear chemistry is related with radioactivity, nuclear processes, and properties. In order to build a nuclear process, radioactive elements are combined with nuclear reactors. In order to identify which chemicals should be used for medical purpose,…

It has been almost 70 years since the end of World War II. Today, nuclear power is used in everywhere, and it has become a very familiar thing to people. It is used in nuclear power plants, cancer treatments, radiocarbon dating for research and investigation purpose, and even in every household like smoke detectors. It has been contributing greatly to the modern society, and made people’s life better. However, its fast development is inseparable from the Manhattan Project in the World War II and…
