@indigoparadox @saramg personally, I want this garbage to be outlawed like #RadioactiveQuackery, since "#AI" is more harmful than #Radium to society.

A product listing photo from the AliExpress international rummage sale and tat bazaar, showing 6 rolls of decorative tape in a variety of metallic colours. Above the rolls is the text "Radium-emitting decorative tape".

Given the nature of AliExpress, there is a nonzero chance that this is a literally true item description.

Discovery of the element #radium was announced on #ThisDayInHistory by #MarieSkłodowskaCurie and her husband #PierreCurie in 1898. Having removed #uranium from a mineral sample, they first discovered #polonium in July, then radium. These finds earned #MarieCurie a Nobel Prize.

How healthy are Brazil nuts really: The popular seeds, known as “#selenium bombs”, contain also traces of metals like #barium and #radium. Researchers at #HZDR and #VKTA conducted a study on the amounts of these elements that could enter the body during digestion.

Spectroscopic methods, such as laser fluorescence spectroscopy, can be used to determine the chemical binding form of metal ions to various inorganic and organic substances from Brazil nuts and the body's digestive juices.

Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday! #OTD #WomenInStem #WomeninScience

In dieser Woche feiern wir gleich 2 Geburtstage von denkwürdigen Wissenschaftlerinnen. Beide wurden an einem 7. November geboren. Die erste ist Marie Curie: Dieses Jahr wäre sie 158 Jahre alt geworden.

Sie führte den Begriff #radioaktiv ein und entdeckte die Elemente #Polonium und #Radium. Zudem stellte sie die Hypothese auf, dass #Radioaktivität eine feste Eigenschaft bestimmter Elemente ist.

Für ihre Arbeiten erhielt sie 1903 den Nobelpreis für Physik und 1911 den Nobelpreis für Chemie.

Your health is your wealth.

A century ago, a new wellness trend captivated people around the world. Just a small dose of newly discovered supplement could cure almost anything — from gout to headaches to “lack of bodily vigor.”

People paid through the nose to get their hands on the stuff; unfortunately, it melted away much of the rest of their face. The new magic cure was radioactive, and eventually killed or disabled many of its adherents.

Half Lives The Unlikely History of Radium by Lucy Jane Santos, 2020

'In Half Lives, Lucy Santos transports us back to a time when consumers wondered whether mixing radium into chicken feed might result in eggs that could hard-boil themselves; when diners cheerfully drank radioactive cocktails that glowed in the dark; and when people used toothpaste containing lethal thorium oxide in the pursuit of healthy gums.

Santos unpicks fact from fiction and exhibits a masterful grasp of a complex area of science history that is so often mistold. Half Lives is a delightfully disturbing book that reminds us all of the age-old Latin maxim, 'caveat emptor.' - Dr Lindsey Fitzharris, bestselling author of The Butchering Art

'With verve and vivacity, Lucy Jane Santos conducts her readers on a unique tour of the twentieth century's most significant scientific discovery. Before the R-word threatened destruction, it offered hope for the future — teeth would glow white...

Radium and the Secret of Life by Luis A. Campos, 2015

Before the hydrogen bomb indelibly associated radioactivity with death, many chemists, physicians, botanists, and geneticists believed that radium might hold the secret to life.

#history
#radium

Physicists and chemists early on described the wondrous new element in lifelike terms such as “decay” and “half-life,” and made frequent references to the “natural selection” and “evolution” of the elements. Meanwhile, biologists of the period used radium in experiments aimed at elucidating some of the most basic phenomena of life, including metabolism and mutation. From the creation of half-living microbes in the test tube to charting the earliest histories of genetic engineering, Radium and the Secret of Life highlights previously unknown interconnections between the history of the early radioactive sciences and the sciences of heredity. Equating the transmutation of radium with the biological transmutation of living species, biologists saw in metabolism and mutation properties that reminded them of the new element. These initially provocative metaphoric links between radium and life proved remarkably productive and ultimately led to key biological insights into the origin of life, the nature of heredity, and the structure of the gene. Radium and the Secret of Life recovers a forgotten history of the connections between radioactivity and the life sciences that existed long before the dawn of molecular biology.

Witness the pioneering work of scientists like the Curies and Rutherford as they unveiled the mysteries of radioactivity, forever changing our understanding of the atom. Experience the early 20th-century "Radium Craze," where this luminescent element, promising miraculous cures, found its way into everyday products, from toothpaste to cosmetics.
Confront the tragic story of the "Radium Girls," a stark reminder of the dangers of radioactive materials and the human cost of scientific progress. Explore radium's crucial role in revolutionizing atomic theory, leading to the nuclear model and unlocking Earth's history through radiometric dating.
From the luminous sights of World War I to the Manhattan Project and the devastating atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this book examines radium's influence on warfare and the chilling rise of the nuclear arms race. It delves into the promise and peril of nuclear power, examining both its potential as a clean energy source and the catastrophic consequences of Chernobyl and Fukushima.
This book also explores the modern applications of radioactivity in medicine, industry, and environmental science, including radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, sterilization techniques, and industrial gauging. It confronts the ongoing challenges of radiation safety, environmental contamination, and the future of nuclear technology, balancing the need for progress with the imperative of responsibility.

🎹 So, #Radium wants us to believe it's reinventing the #music wheel by merging piano rolls and trackers into one groundbreaking interface 🤔. But let's be real, it's just a DAWg trying to fetch attention with flashy visuals and not much bite 🐶. Maybe they should focus more on making music than making graphical spaces "better" 📉.
