Planet pluto) Plutonium was the second transuranium element of the actinide series to be discovered. The isotope 238pu was produced in 1940 by Seaborg, McMillan, Kennedy, and Wahl by deuteron bombardment of uranium in the 60-inch cyclotron at Berkeley, California. Plutonium also exists in trace quantities in naturally occurring uranium ores. It is formed in much the same manner as neptunium, by irradiation of natural uranium with the neutrons which are present.

Gilbert Newton Lewis (born Weymouth, Massachusetts, 1875 died Berkeley, California, 1946) has been called the greatest American chemist. The January 1984 issue of the Journal of Chemical Education contains five articles describing Lewis s life and contributions to chemistry. 

In the early years of this century the periodic table ended with element 92 but, with J. Chadwick s discovery of the neutron in 1932 and the realization that neutron-capture by a heavy atom is frequently followed by j6 emission yielding the next higher element, the synthesis of new elements became an exciting possibility. E. Fermi and others were quick to attempt the synthesis of element 93 by neutron bombardment of but it gradually became evident that the main result of the process was not the production of element 93 but nuclear fission, which produces lighter elements. However, in 1940, E. M. McMillan and P. H. Abelson in Berkeley, California, were able to identify, along with the fission products, a short-lived isotope of...

In January 1903 Einstein married Mileva Marie, (of Grcck-Catholic Serbian descent), a fellow student at the ETI I. In 1902 the couple had a daughter out of wedlock, Lieserl, whose fate remains unknown, and after marriage they had two sons, Hans Albert (1904), who became a distinguished professor of hydraulic engineering in Berkeley, California, and Eduard (1910), a gifted child who became a student of medicine in Zurich but who then turned severely schizophrenic and died in a psychiatric hospital.

What Giauque does not tell are the trials encountered in transporting the glycerol seed crystals by dog sled, boat, etc. from Manoose Bay, BC to Berkeley. California, while trying to keep the sample cold so that the seed crystals would not melt.
