Doctor Solar

The appearance of several new atomic-related superheroes rn the 1960s provided welcome relief from the previous decade s tales of nuclear conflagration. During this period a revived Atom (1961), Captain Atom (1960), Doctor Solar (1960), Spider-Man (1962), Hulk (1962), Firestorm, the Nuclear Man (1978), and Nuklon (1987) all breathed new life into the atoms-for-justice ethos. A good many of their foes had nuclear connections as well. 

Gold Key Comics first original character, "Doctor Solar Man of the Atom," proved far more imaginative. This atomic hero appeared in the same year as Ditko s Captain Atom and had a similar origin. Nuclear...

Ahead, the ruins scaled the foothills of the Urals in serpentine tiers dark and monolithic, the shattered bones of a city, picked all but clean by war and a succession of savage winters. Just a few eggshell patches lightly silvered by the cloud-filtered moonlight solar panelling, the Doctor supposed, clinging to the exteriors of long-dead homes. 

It was Razum s way of telling them all the certainties he had foreseen, the futures he could never relate in words that if the plan failed, then Mogushestvo would raze Sverdlovsk and plough their corpses into the frozen soil, with sufficient armour left in Omsk to grind Wargaard s proud divisions to a fine powder that if the Doctor failed, then Razum would allow that to happen and take command of the Alliance, division by division, to claim the Earth and all its territories as his own. And if the Doctor succeeded, then all of this would be irrelevant, and the Earth and all of his officers, his staff, support personnel and rank-and-file troopers and the rest of the human race would join him and Dusha in a new life. In an embrace of solar flame. 

Kokorin, Alexander I, was bom in 1947. Was graduated as a biophysicist in 1970 Ph.D. (Candidate of Sciences) in 1974 D.Sc. degree (Doctor of Sciences) in physical chemistry - in 1992. At present Principal Researcher and Deputy Head of the Division of Kinetics and Catalysis, N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. Area of research interests chemical methods of solar energy conversion chemical physics of organized molecular systems, including nanosized oxide semiconductors doped with transition metal ions, and polymer-metal complexes the study of their structure, absorptive, catalytic, photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties. EPR spectroscopy and spin-spin interaction between paramagnetics. He is the author and co-author of more than 170 publications, including two books and several reviews and book chapters. 

Stuart Licht is a Program Director in the Chemistry Division of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. His research interests include solar and hydrogen energy, energy storage, unusual analytical methodologies, and fundamental physical chemistry. Prof. Licht received his doctorate in 1986 from the Weizmann Institute of Science, followed by a Postdoctoral Fellowship at MIT. In 1988 he became the first Carlson Professor of Chemistry at Clark University, and in 1995 a Gustella... 

Wentworth has been a member of the American Chemical Society, the American Solar Energy Society, and Alpha Chi Sigma. He has published over 125 papers, written three textbooks, and received numerous patents. One of the publications from his doctoral dissertation was selected as a pioneer paper in analytical chemistry. His papers on the chemical applications of nonlinear least squares became Citation Index Classics. His patent for pulse discharge ionization detectors was selected as one of the 100 most significant inventions of 1997. He retired after four decades of teaching and research, having about forty graduate students, half of whom received doctorates. The Robert A. Welch Foundation supported his efforts every year. 

Antoine-Henri Becquerel was bom the son of the physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel, and the grandson of the physicist Antoine-Cesar Becquerel, and it is not surprising that he followed in their footsteps. It is also not surprising that his research interests centered around solar radiation and phosphorescence, as these are phenomena that his father had investigated. He entered the Ecole Polytechnique, in Paris, in 1872, which he left in 1874 and to which he subsequently returned. Becquerel received a doctorate degree from the Faculty of Sciences of Paris in 1888. In 1892, he was appointed professor of applied physics in the Department of Natural History at the Paris Museum, and in 1895, professor of physics at the Ecole Polytechnique.
