unusual facts about isotopes



Albuquerque Isotopes

In the NBC series The Voice, music producer Adam Blackstone wore an Albuquerque Isotopes hat during Season One Battle Rounds preparations.

Cobalt therapy

In 1949, Dr. Harold E. Johns of the University of Saskatchewan sent a request to the National Research Council (NRC) asking them to produce Cobalt-60 isotopes for use in a cobalt therapy unit prototype.

Eugene T. Booth

During the Manhattan Project, Dunning conducted pioneering work at Columbia University on gaseous diffusion to separate uranium isotopes; others working on the project included Booth, Henry A. Boorse, Willard F. Libby, Alfred O. C. Nier, and Francis G. Slack.

Eve Andree Laramee

This work zeroes-in on sites where Uranium mining/milling, plutonium production for nuclear weaponss and the nuclear energy industry have contaminated surface water, well water and deep aquifer water with radioactive isotopes and her work archives this atomic legacy.

Fermium

A dedicated laboratory was set up right at Enewetak Atoll for preliminary analysis of debris, as some isotopes could have decayed by the time the debris samples reached the U.S.

Isotopes of calcium

Calcium (Ca) has a total of 24 isotopes, from 34Ca to 57Ca.

Isotopes Punk Rock Baseball Club

Isotopes Punk Rock Baseball Club or more commonly, The Isotopes are a Canadian punk rock band, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Kenneth G. Miller

He has written more than 100 scientific papers, his most significant publications include widely cited synthesis of Cenozoic oxygen isotopes (Miller et al., 1987) and a synthesis of global sea-level change (Miller et al., 1998, 2005).

Neutron depth profiling

In NDP, a thermal or cold neutron beam passes through a material and interacts with isotopes that emit monoenergetic charged particles upon neutron absorption; either a proton or an alpha, and a recoil nucleus.

Omar Fakhri

In 1961, he was granted a fellowship by the International Atomic Energy Agency for a year of further training at University College Hospital in London on the medical application of isotopes.

Reproductive immunology

Anti sperm antigen has been described as three immunoglobulin isotopes (IgG, IgA, IgM) each of which targets different part of the spermatozoa.

Simon Shnoll

The first scientific papers were devoted to ATPases and the use of radioactive isotopes in experimental and clinical studies.
