ways by using scientific discovery. Marie Curie discovered two new elements by using something called pitchblende which was just created with scientific discovery. She looked at this pitchblende in many new ways before she discovered polonium and radium. She discovered these elements by looking at the information and discoveries…

Fracking; A Crime Against Nature Fracking, a cheaper and more harmful way for us to get oil out of the ground. It has caused just as much bad as good, if not more. It leaks into our water, poisons our loved ones, and pollutes our environment. Fracking should be illegal due to its detrimental effects on the environment and people. Here’s a “fun,” fact; each fracturing job uses between 1-8 million gallons of water and over 40,000 gallons of chemicals (Source 2).Think about what can do to you and…

I n 1898, the radioactive elements Radium and Polonium were found by Marie and Pierre Curie. Thus the concept of treating cancers was born. The Curie’s work on radiation led to the possibility of cancer treatment, but also provided a better understanding of the atom. That is that an atom has a nucleus at its centre with surrounding energy shells which consist of negatively charged electrons. The electron was discovered in 1897 by J.J. Tomson, and was the first proved element of the atom. The…

1. Introduction Most nuclear power plants/reactors work in quite a similar way. The power/energy released by the reaction of continuous fission of the atoms (this process is call nuclear fission) from the fuel (this is achieved by using radioactive elements) is use create heat for liquid to turn into steam. This steam is then used to drive the turbines in the power plant, which produce electricity. (World Nuclear Association, 2015) The nuclear power plants on average now have about 33%…

Gamow returned to the Soviet Union where he worked at the Radium Institute in Leningrad after being accepted as a member of the Academy of Sciences. Extensive research in radioactive decay was done in the USSR, and during this time he married another physicist, Lyubov Vokhmintseva. The newly married couple tried…

One of Man’s strongest instincts is that to protect and provide for himself. In doing so however, he has created nuclear weapons and energy. From experiments with radium in the late 1800s, to the creation of weapons of mass destruction during World War Two and finally the more recent disasters from nuclear power plant meltdowns. Man has started out with good intentions, but in so doing, he may have doomed himself. In 1896, radioactivity was discovered by Henri Becquerel (Nobelprize.org). Upon…

unconventional oil and gas production. With the rapid “boom” of drilling locations led to some issues. About 4,000 of the wells reported wastewater spills from fracking. With a scientific study it stated that the “surface waters in the area carrying radium, selenium, thallium, lead and other toxic chemicals that can persist for years at unsafe levels.” The scientists sampled water from the locations of the contaminated water and concluded that there were high concentrations of salts, trace…

My research on this essay is that concerning the use of a measurement scale in court cases in order to define and understand the competence of an individual charged. Through this, there is the possibility to assess if they are capable of understanding the crime committed, and, in a sense, the ability to know their ‘right from wrong’. It is my opinion that such a measurement would be inaccurate, and would be incapable of altering its standards and applicability for every person individually. The…

This is an essay on the virtue intellectual curiosity. This is an important virtue in my opinion, because in today’s fast-paced world where technology is advancing day by day, new medical breakthroughs occur, skills at work must be updated to keep one's job, if one doesn’t use intellectual curiosity to question research, learn, and prepare themselves with knowledge, they will not be able to keep up with the world changes as well as their children’s lives, I have used Marie Curie as a prime…
