Specific interest in the periodic table and the elements has produced a number of recent books. One of the first serious examinations of the history of the elements was done by May Elvira Weeks. Discovery of the Elements (1968), an updated version with material from Henry M. Leicester, can still be found in libraries. Richard Morris s The Last Sorcerers The Path from Alchemy to the Periodic Table (2003) is an excellent book, while Paul Strathern s Mendeleyev s Dream (2000) is a nontechnical look at the hunt for order among the elements that reads almost like a novel. More technical material on matter theory can be found in Antio Clericuzio, Elements, Principles, and Corpuscles A Study of Atomism and Chemistry in the Seventeenth Century (2000) David M. Knight, Atoms and Elements. A Study of Theories of Matter in England in the Nineteenth Century (1967) and Mary Jo Nye, From Chemical Philosophy to Theoretical Chemistry Dynamics of Matter and Dynamics of Disciplines 1800-1950 (1993). [Pg.168]

Penicillium notatum was mixed with a by-product of maize processing, the so-called corn steep liquor . In the search for even more productive strains, hundreds of moulds were tested. In 1943, Mary Hunt (nicknamed Mouldy Mary ), a lab technician from the Northern Regional Research Laboratory, discovered the best mould on a cantaloupe (a type of melon) in the weekly market. With this fungus, the overall yield of penicillin increased around twenty-fold. By the end of 1944, it was possible to produce enough penicillin to treat 500,000 people (Fig. 5.26). [Pg.232]

This article is dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Iwao Tabushi. The tale told here is based on a lecture delivered on 6 November 1987 at the US/Japan Joint Seminar on Molecular Recognition in Miami and is a highly personal account of the trapping at the end of a ten-year hunt for what became known as the crazy molecule at Sheffield. The lecture was dedicated to the three pioneers of small molecule molecular recognition, the 1987 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, Charles Pedersen, Jean-Marie Lehn, and Donald Cram - three men attracted as much by the art of chemistry as by its science. [Pg.243]

In their hunt for new elements, Marie and Pierre Curie treated a batch of material with strong hydrochloric acid. Both the solution and the insoluble residue were radioactive. From the hydrochloric add solution, sulfides were precipitated with hydrogen sulfide. The radioactivity followed bismuth. Andre Debieme introduced a modified technique. An iron foil was placed in the acid solution. Metals nobler than iron, thus copper, lead and bismuth, precipitated, at least partially. The radioactivity followed this metallic fraction. [Pg.1185]
