Sam Tesla has been working in a Chemical Plant in Pasadena, Texas for years now. Unfortunately, an accident occurred which destroyed all of his work as well as his lab, he had to be transferred to a privately-owned Cryogenic facility near Las Vegas, Nevada. Sam was your average 27 year old guy and he had long hair, short trimmed beard, and skinny but athletic for the most part. He’d been assigned to work on a project, he had to collect neon (a non-reactive gas) to then give to the company in the

In this project, this researcher wants to know how AA, AAA, and C batteries will affect light intensity. The research shows that the number and bigger the batteries, the higher the light intensity will be. This would give the light a brighter shine and will prove that a certain kind of battery would make the lightbulb shine at its greatest point. With the light intensity it will increase the numbers higher, the closer you are to the bulb. “Electricity was one of the forms of energy given by nature

"Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Battlestar Galactica" are some of fiction movies that implement laser technology in it. LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Generally, it is a device that control the way for energized atom released their photon. As we go deep into the words of ‘LASER’, it actually generates an intense beam of coherent monochromatic light (or other electromagnetic radiation) by stimulated emission of photons from excited atoms or molecules. Laser

with other diagnostic tests. It helps determine most useful and beneficial treatments needed. And nuclear medicine is less expensive and may yield more precise information than exploratory surgery. There are almost no risks and the risks that are there are pretty much harmless. In simple terms the patient is being exposed to radiation, but its very small amounts which make it virtually harmless. Nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures have been used for more than five decades and there are no known

A serpentine of switchbacks, a remote red rollercoaster, and a hairpin hell track; are just a few of the terms used by road trippers to describe southern Utah's, Moki Dugway. Built during the uranium frenzy of the 1950's, the Moki Dugway transported uranium ore from the Cedar Mesa mines to the processing mills in Mexican Hat. Over two million tons of ore were extracted from local mines leaving a toxic environmental legacy for generations to come. No longer used as a mining road, Utah incorporated

I once owned a very strange cat named Francium. Why was he called Francium you ask? He had many similar properties of the element Francium. Francium is an element on the Periodic Table, however not much about the element is known. It is located at the bottom of group one on the table with the abbreviation of Fr. Because it decays so fast in air, nobody has ever been able to truly see francium’s appearance. Nobody really knows what color Francium is. Most people think it is silver, like its family

Genevieve Beggins Scientists over the years have proven many things to be true and are the reason why we know so much about the world that we live in today. You would think that all theories that have once been proven to be true would stay that way but there have been a few times in history when proven theories turn out to be wrong. One theory in particular is "The discovery of Vulcan". The Discovery of Vulcan was a theory that involved a planet that was believed to be between Mercury and the

To understand Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) it is first necessary to understand Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). NMR involves protons that have a certain level of positive electric charge, causing them to move in a loops and creating a Magnetic Dipole Moment. When this proton is placed inside a magnetic field it causes the Magnetic Dipole Moment to alter its spin and align with magnetic field. This alteration in axis precessing is defined as the ‘precession axis’ (Mlynárik, 2016). When a nucleus

Abstract Radioactivity is the process that an atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation to form a more stable atom, and time for radioactive material decay to half of the isotope is defined Half-life. Radon-220 observed in the experiment theoretically has a half-life with 54.5s. Two methods derived from the definition of Half-life and Radioactive Decay Law used to demonstrate half-life of Radon-220 under 400V and the closest result from the whole experiment is 55.90s with 2.57% error. The

In this experiment we will explore the meaning of half-life. We will accomplish this by getting a handful of un-popped popcorn and cooking them in a pan. We will count how long it takes for half of the popcorn to pop. In this experiment un-popped popcorn will resemble a radioactive nucleus whilst popped nuclei will resemble non-radioactive nuclei. When the popcorn is popped it means that the nucleus is stable. In this experiment, we discovered that we cannot predict when half of the radioactive
