Glenn T. Seaborg was born on April 19, 1912. An American chemist whose involvement in the synthesis, discovery, and investigation of ten transuranium elements earned him a share of the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His work in this area also led to his development of the actinide concept and the arrangement of the actinide series in the periodic table of the elements. Seaborg was the principal or co-discoverer of plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, and element 106, which, while he was still living, was named seaborgium in his honor.

"There is a beauty in discovery. There is mathematics in music, a kinship of science and poetry in the description of nature, and exquisite form in a molecule. Attempts to place different disciplines in different camps are revealed as artificial in the face of the unity of knowledge. All literate men are sustained by the philosopher, the historian, the political analyst, the economist, the scientist, the poet, the artisan, and the musician."

Glenn T. Seaborg, scientist, Nobel laureate (19th April 1912-1999)

Dr. James Ellis LuValle (November 10, 1912 – January 30, 1993) was an athlete and scientist. He won the bronze medal in the 400 meters at the 1936 Summer Olympics and was an accomplished chemist and founder of the Graduate Students Association at UCLA.

He was born in San Antonio. His family lived for a while in DC, before moving to Los Angeles while he was in elementary school. He competed in track and field at LA Polytechnic High School, while working as a page for the Los Angeles Public Library.

He enrolled at UCLA in 1931, turning down athletic scholarships to USC and the University of Notre Dame. Nicknamed the “Westwood Whirlwind,” he was the captain of the track and field team. In 1934 he ran 20.8 seconds for 220y, with Bob Kiesel and Foy Draper being the only sprinters in the world to match his time that year.

Despite his athletic prowess, he admitted his main focus was always academics. He did not have an athletic scholarship, given UCLA did not award track scholarships. He paid his way through school with a Regents’ Scholarship and a job in the chemistry lab. He made friends with future Nobel Laureate Glenn T. Seaborg who was his teaching assistant for one class. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa in chemistry in June 1936, having had a straight-A average. He won the Jake Gimball Award for most outstanding all-around senior.

Acting as the official student government for graduates. He was selected as the ASG’s first president.

He was awarded his MA. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in chemistry and mathematics from the California Institute of Technology. He was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Caltech.

In 1985, ASUCLA named its new student center LuValle Commons in his honor. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #phibetakappa

TRANSITION METALS: ROUND 1 POLL 4

TUNGSTEN:

While often mistaken as the densest element, it is actually the second densest element, with a density of 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter

Well known for the "tungsten cube" which most people buy to examine its weight (and smash things with it)

Was once called "Wolfram"

SEABORGIUM:

the first element named for a living person, named after Glenn T. Seaborg

Glenn Seaborg was originally called Glen Sjöberg, but his name was changed to Glen Seaborg after being imported to America. He then changed his first name to Glenn.

Was discovered twice in one month; the first time in Russia and the second time in America

Might have been called Rutherfordium, because of a previously stated law that no element can be named after a living person despite the name Einsteinium being proposed during Albert Einstein's lifetime

The last element ever discovered at Lawrence Berkely Laboratory, which is where Glenn Seaborg worked

This is a scientist who discovered 10 new elements, appended the periodic table so that there could be space for the actinides, and created unique isotopes for radioactive medicine. He’s one of the most amazing chemists in history, marking up the periodic table with the glee of a schoolboy.

His 3rd son wrote a paper about his life, which is a vibrant read!

Plutonium: Did you know?

Though it seems like the obvious choice for plutonium’s symbol would be Pl, Seaborg chose Pu as a joke, and it passed into the periodic table unnoticed.

[lboogie1906]

Dasia Taylor was (born April 6, 2004) a teenage scientist and inventor who was born in Chicago to LaDonna Phillips. When she was eight, they moved to Madison, Indiana, and on to Iowa City, Iowa. She graduated from Iowa City West High School.

She is known for her experiment where she juiced at least three dozen beets in the last 18 months based on a project she began in October 2019 when she was 15 years old. she discovered that beets changed color at the perfect pH point. Her discovery showed that these root vegetables could provide surgical suture thread that could change color from bright red dark to dark purple to reflect the healing of an infected wound. She was able to find a suture thread that would hold onto the beet dye by testing ten different materials.

She has been an anti-racist curriculum advocate since 2017. To challenge those who doubted her abilities, in 2020 the 16-year-old devoted four months to concentrating and committing herself to research preparing for her first regional science and math fair.

She was recognized as one of 40 finalists in the Regeneron Science Talent Search. This STEM-based activity is one of the oldest and most prestigious science and math competitions for high school seniors in the US. She received $25,000 for her discovery from the Iowa City Press-Citizen.

She has also been pursuing a line of research that might counteract the risks posed by using cotton. She spent a considerable amount of time and energy in the Black History Game Show as its president and she often attends weekly school board and district meetings.

She received the Glenn T. Seaborg Award, recognizing and encouraging research and education in nuclear chemistry and radiochemistry. She has appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She is preparing to take ownership of her inventions by patenting them. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

#Nixon50 #OTD 2/27/1970 President Nixon awarded the Atomic Pioneers Award to Dr. Vannevar Bush, Dr. James B. Conant, and Lt. Gen. Leslie R. Groves. Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, is shown holding a ceremonial award placard. Although their names might not be familiar to many of us now, very person in this photograph is a giant in his field. (Image: WHPO-3047-07)

Dr. Seaborg was one of the recipients of the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He discovered or co-discovered ten elements including plutonium, pioneered the use of radioactive isotopes in medicine, and worked on the Manhattan Project.

Dr. Bush, inventor and engineer, is largely responsible for the concept of the Internet. He envisioned a device he called a memex that would access information by following links. His 1945 essay "As We May Think" influenced generations of computer scientists, engineers, and information professionals including archivists. He was also involved with the Manhattan Project and appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1944.

Dr. Conant was a pioneering chemist. His achievements are too numerous to list here but some of his more notable works were the structure of chlorophyll, the biochemistry of hemoglobin, and, controversially, the development of poison gases. While serving as the President of Harvard University, Conant was recruited by Bush to work with the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC). He succeeded Bush as head of the organization when Bush became the head of the new Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) and served on the nuclear weapons advisory "Interim Committee" to President Truman.

Last but not least, Lt. Gen. Groves was an Army man through and through. He trained in engineering and worked on various projects in Hawaii, Texas, and Nicaragua before being assigned as a special assistant for construction to the Quartermaster General, Major General Edmund B. Gregory in 1940. In the years leading to the United States entering World War II, he oversaw numerous construction and engineering projected designed to house and train the vast number of soldiers that would be needed. Most notably, he worked on the construction of the Pentagon and the Manhattan Project, which required complex and highly secretive facilities at multiple locations throughout the country.

In 1980, he transmuted several thousand atoms of bismuth-209 into gold (197 Au) at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. His experimental technique, using the lab's Bevalacparticle accelerator, was able to remove protons and neutrons from the bismuth atoms by bombarding it with carbon and neon nuclei traveling near the speed of light.[47] Seaborg's technique would have been far too expensive to enable routine manufacturing of gold, but his work was close to the mythical Philosopher's Stone.[48][49]

You can absolutely transmute base metals into gold, and it has been done before. The physicists have achieved the alchemists dream.

We could have lived in this world... damn you Rutherford

[viadescioism]

It sounds kinda to me like you may be a Alchemist was just wondering I’m into Alchemy this year going to use it to make big bank but was just wondering if you are a Alchemist also or like a Illuminati Witch or something but this coming year gonna be the first to turn make real gold of different elements to one

I personally do not identify as an alchemist my friend. Though I do study Alchemy both Western and Eastern and inner and outer. My work is also influenced by neoplatonism, and hermeticism, which may be why it may look like I am an alchemist.

Also Humanity already has the ability to turn things into gold through nuclear transmutation, ever since the 1980s.

“In 1980, he (Glenn T. Seaborg) transmuted several thousand atoms of bismuth into gold at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. His experimental technique, using nuclear physics, was able to remove protons and neutrons from the bismuth atoms. Seaborg's technique would have been far too expensive to enable routine manufacturing of gold, but his work was close to the mythical Philosopher's Stone.” - wikipedia

GET 2K ENTIRE 118 DISCOVERED ELEMENTS VISUAL LOOP PACK Elementum ex Americæ. Libertas. Libertatem.  #July4th 🎆 Americium is a synthetic radioactive chemical element with the symbol Am and atomic number 95. It is a transuranic member of the actinide series, in the periodic table located under the lanthanide element europium, and thus by analogy was named after the Americas Americium was first produced in 1944 by the group of Glenn T. Seaborg from Berkeley, California, at the Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago, a part of the Manhattan Project. Although it is the third element in the transuranic series, it was discovered fourth, after the heavier curium. The discovery was kept secret and only released to the public in November 1945. Although americium was likely produced in previous nuclear experiments, it was first intentionally synthesized, isolated and identified in late autumn 1944, at the University of California, Berkeley, by Glenn T. Seaborg, Leon O. Morgan, Ralph A. James, and Albert Ghiorso. They used a 60-inch cyclotron at the University of California, Berkeley. The longest-lived and most common isotopes of americium, 241Am and 243Am, have half-lives of 432.2 and 7,370 years, respectively. Therefore, any primordial americium (americium that was present on Earth during its formation) should have decayed by now. Americium is produced mostly artificially in small quantities, for research purposes. A tonne of spent nuclear fuel contains about 100 grams of various americium isotopes, mostly 241Am and 243Am. Their prolonged radioactivity is undesirable for the disposal, and therefore americium, together with other long-lived actinides, must be neutralized. The associated procedure may involve several steps, where americium is first separated and then converted by neutron bombardment in special reactors to short-lived nuclides. This procedure is well known as nuclear transmutation, but it is still being developed for americium. Americium is an artificial element of recent origin, and thus does not have a biological requirement. It is harmful to life. It has been proposed to use bacteria for removal of americium and other heavy metals from rivers and streams. Thus, Enterobacteriaceae of the genus Citrobacter precipitate americium ions from aqueous solutions, binding them into a metal-phosphate complex at their cell walls. Several studies have been reported on the biosorption and bioaccumulation of americium by bacteria and fungi. Americium readily reacts with oxygen and dissolves well in acids. The most common oxidation state for americium is +3, in which americium compounds are rather stable against oxidation and reduction. In this sense, americium is chemically similar to most lanthanides. The trivalent americium forms insoluble fluoride, oxalate, iodate, hydroxide, phosphate and other salts. Other oxidation states have been observed between +2 and +7, which is the widest range among the actinide elements.                                                                     - source Wikipedia
