Nuclear Isotope Half-Lifes
The site demonstrates the half-life of ten basic nuclei and you can add or subtract a proton or a neutron to the current isotope.
Sir James Chadwick
Sir James Chadwick (1891 - 1974) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1935 for his theoretical work on the discovery of the neutron.
Cygnus X-1
Doppler studies of this blue supergiant in Cygnus indicate a period of 5.6 days in orbit around an unseen companion. The mass of the companion is calculated to be 8-10 solar masses, much too large to ...
Autobiograpy of Clifford G. Shull
Clifford G. Shull (1915 - 2001) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1994 for pioneering contributions to the development of neutron scattering techniques for studies of condensed matter.
IceCube neutrino observatory
IceCube, a telescope under construction at the South Pole, will search for neutrinos from the most violent astrophysical sources: events like exploding stars, gamma ray bursts, and cataclysmic ...
Elementary Particles
Until 1931, the "elementary" particles were the electron, proton, and neutron. We now know of hundreds of other elementary particles. This site give a brief glimpse into all the various forms of ...
Heavy Water Production
Information on heavy water, used for nuclear weapons. Heavy water, or D2O, is water in which both hydrogen atoms have been replaced with deuterium, the isotope of hydrogen containing one proton and ...
