Webb's study of the second-brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen reveals tellurium.A team of scientists has used multiple space and ground-based telescopes, including NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, and NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, to observe an exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst, GRB 230307A, and identify the neutron star merger that generated an explosion that created the burst. Webb also helped scientists detect the chemical element tellurium in the explosion's aftermath.Image: Gamma-Ray Burst 230307AThis image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument highlights Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 230307A and its associated kilonova, as well as its former home galaxy, among their local environment of other galaxies and foreground stars. The GRB likely was powered by the merger of two neutron stars. The neutron stars were kicked out of their home galaxy and traveled the distance of about 120,000 light-years, approximately the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, before finally merging several hundred million years later.Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, A. Levan (Radboud University and University of Warwick).Other elements near tellurium on the periodic table – like iodine, which is needed for much of life on Earth – are also likely to be present among the kilonova's ejected material. A kilonova is an explosion produced by a neutron star merging with either a black hole or with another neutron star.“Just over 150 years since Dmitri Mendeleev wrote down the periodic table of elements, we are now finally in the position to start filling in those last blanks of understanding where everything was made, thanks to Webb,” said Andrew Levan of Radboud University in the Netherlands and the University of Warwick in the UK, lead author of the study.While neutron star mergers have long been theorized as being the ideal “pressure cookers” to create some of the rarer elements substantially heavier than iron, astronomers have previously encountered a few obstacles in obtaining solid evidence.Long Gamma-Ray BurstKilonovae are extremely rare, making it difficult to observe these events. Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), traditionally thought to be those that last less than two seconds, can be byproducts of these infrequent merger episodes. (In contrast, long gamma-ray bursts may last several minutes and are usually associated with the explosive death of a massive star.)The case of GRB 230307A is particularly remarkable. First detected by Fermi in March, it is the second brightest GRB observed in over 50 years of observations, about 1,000 times brighter than a typical gamma-ray burst that Fermi observes. It also lasted for 200 seconds, placing it firmly in the category of long duration gamma-ray bursts, despite its different origin.“This burst is way into the long category. It's not near the border. But it seems to be coming from a merging neutron star,” added Eric Burns, a co-author of the paper and member of the Fermi team at Louisiana State University.Opportunity: Telescope CollaborationThe collaboration of many telescopes on the ground and in space allowed scientists to piece together a wealth of information about this event as soon as the burst was first detected. It is an example of how satellites and telescopes work together to witness changes in the universe as they unfold. After the first detection, an intensive series of observations from the ground and from space, including with Swift, swung into action to pinpoint the source on the sky and track how its brightness changed. These observations in the gamma-ray, X-ray, optical, infrared, and radio showed that the optical/infrared counterpart was faint, evolved quickly, and became very red – the hallmarks of a kilonova.“This type of explosion is very rapid, with the material in the explosion also expanding swiftly,” said Om Sharan Salafia, a co-author of the study at the INAF – Brera Astronomical Observatory in Italy. “As the whole cloud expands, the material cools off quickly and the peak of its light becomes visible in infrared, and becomes redder on timescales of days to weeks.”Image: Killanova – Webb vs ModelThis graphic presentation compares the spectral data of GRB 230307A's kilonova as observed by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and a kilonova model. Both show a distinct peak in the region of the spectrum associated with tellurium, with the area shaded in red. The detection of tellurium, which is rarer than platinum on Earth, marks Webb's first direct look at an individual heavy element from a kilonova.Illustration: NASA, ESA, CSA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI).At later times it would have been impossible to study this kilonova from the ground, but these were the perfect conditions for Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instruments to observe this tumultuous environment. The spectrum has broad lines that show the material is ejected at high speeds, but one feature is clear: light emitted by tellurium, an element rarer than platinum on Earth.The highly sensitive infrared capabilities of Webb helped scientists identify the home address of the two neutron stars that created the kilonova: a spiral galaxy about 120,000 light-years away from the site of the merger.Prior to their venture, they were once two normal massive stars that formed a binary system in their home spiral galaxy. Since the duo was gravitationally bound, both stars were launched together on two separate occasions: when one among the pair exploded as a supernova and became a neutron star, and when the other star followed suit.In this case, the neutron stars remained as a binary system despite two explosive jolts and were kicked out of their home galaxy. The pair traveled approximately the equivalent of the Milky Way galaxy's diameter before merging several hundred million years later.Scientists expect to find even more kilonovae in the future due to the increasing opportunities to have space and ground-based telescopes work in complementary ways to study changes in the universe. For example, while Webb can peer deeper into space than ever before, the remarkable field of view of NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will enable astronomers to scout where and how frequently these explosions occur.“Webb provides a phenomenal boost and may find even heavier elements,” said Ben Gompertz, a co-author of the study at the University of Birmingham in the UK. “As we get more frequent observations, the models will improve and the spectrum may evolve more in time. Webb has certainly opened the door to do a lot more, and its abilities will be completely transformative for our understanding of the universe.”These findings have been published in the journal Nature.The James Webb Space Telescope is the world's premier space science observatory. Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5953955/advertisement

Hello all! It's been a while and now we are back with an episode a Queer BAIT Film Club where we watch a film which isn't gay enough and try to work out why a perfectly good (or bad) lesbian film didn't happen.This episode we are travelling back to the 1990s to see one of Angelina Jolie's earliest big screen ventures as she plays… wait for it… you are NOT ready for this… a swaggering butch lesbian in a leather jacket who upends the lives of four teen girls at a generic US school. There's sexual tension, homoerotic tattooing, and man-bashing (some literal) and yet it's not official queer. What gives?!The Queer Girl Film Club gang are here to try and find out. How can a film with so many crimes not ‘be gay'? Who doesn't want a rundown house in the woods full of candles as a base (Georgia and Alice have done a lot of fire safety training and remember none of it)? Does a film need a queer kiss to be queer enough not to be bait?Along the way the crew try to work out if Georgia is concussed from doing “too much sport” (® Alice, 2023), Holly asks if this is one of the greatest soundtracks of any film ever, and Alice calls Dmitri Mendeleev a pussy. Yes, the periodic table guy.PLUS, if that wasn't enough, find out what films we will be covering in season 4, coming SOON!CN: Discussion of the dissection of animals in schools 17:39-21:00, discussion of a predatory teacher, swearing and spoilers.

While Mendeleev's approach led to there being some gaps or spaces in ‘periods' where he believed an element should exist, he was able to calculate the missing element's atomic mass and ...

The problem of the large and growing variety of elements perplexed chemists, who attempted to bring order to the chaos. We learn about Döbereiner's triads, Pettenkofer and Dumas's correlations of multiples of atomic weights, Newlands's Law of Octaves, and Chancourtois's Telluric Screw. Kekulé's Karlsruhe conference brought order to some chemical chaos, and was the launching point for Dmitri Mendeleev and his periodic table, while Lothar Meyer almost beat Mendeleev for bragging rights. Mendeleev's close friend Alexander Borodin was a chemist AND composer, and we hear from guest Alan Rothenberg on Borodin's life and music.Support the show

Today's episode focuses on a second but very different function of dreaming: the ingenious processing and interconnection of memories that inspires creativity and even problem-solving ability.Matt describes how we can think of REM sleep dreaming as a form of informational alchemy, in which we build new connections. As a consequence, we wake the next morning with a mind-wide web of associations capable of divining solutions to previously impenetrable problems.A great illustration of dream-inspired creativity is the chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who had been trying for years to solve arguably the greatest problem of his time: how do all of the elements in the universe fit together? When Mendeleev finally lay down to sleep, his dreaming brain came up with the Periodic Table. It's not just in the sciences that we've seen dream-inspired insight. Consider, for example, Sir Paul McCartney's origination of the songs “Yesterday” and “Let It Be,” both of which came to McCartney in his dreams. Matt and his team conducted a study which found that participants were 30% better at solving cognitive problems when they were woken up out of a REM sleep dreaming state. Moreover he found that the way you solve problems is different when you're coming out of REM sleep dreaming. Matt suggests that this reflects the biological basis of creativity. Importantly, it's not just that you dream, but once again, what you dream about that seems to matter.Little wonder then we're never told to, “stay awake on a problem.” Instead, we're told to 'sleep on it'. That phrase, or something close to it, seems to exist in most languages that Matt has enquired about, indicating that the problem-solving benefit of dream sleep is universal.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.The good people at InsideTracker are one of the sponsors of this week's episode, and they are generously offering a special 25% off any one of their programs for anyone who uses the above link during the time window of this episode.

Did you know that Gandhi hated iodine? Or that Silicon Valley was almost called Germanium Valley? Our producer Rigoberto Hernandez talked about these stories and more with Sam Kean, author of The Disappearing Spoon, a book about the stories behind the periodic table. The New York Times best-selling author and regular Distillations magazine contributor described how Dmitri Mendeleev's publisher accidentally shaped the periodic table, why gallium is a popular element for pranksters, and what inspired the title of his book.

Dmitri Mendeleev gets most of the credit for the modern periodic table. He deserves a lot of the acclaim, but he built on the work of several other chemists, and a lot of elements have been discovered and added to the periodic table since he developed it.Here are some resources to learn more about Dmitri Mendeleev and the periodic table:Royal Society of Chemistry.  Development of the Periodic Table.  https://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/history/about.Scerri, Eric (2019).  The Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance.  Oxford University Press.Gordin, Michael (2004).  A Well-Ordered Thing: Dmitrii Mendeleev and the Shadow of the Periodic Table.  Basic Books.Meta-synthesis.  Internet Database of Periodic Tables.  https://www.meta-synthesis.com/webbook/35_pt/pt_database.php.Our intro and outro music is DriftMaster by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com.Please follow us on Twitter at @PrudentQPodcast, and contact us at halfofwisdom@gmail.com.

Emma and Gil welcome Adrienne Smith, designer of the card game Blitz Champz and wide receiver for the Boston Renegades women's gridiron football team. We discuss the intersection of mass market, kids, and sports game design, the state of women's football in modern America, and serial entrepreneurship. This episode was recorded on November 16, 2020. A couple of weeks later, Vanderbilt brought their varsity women's soccer goalie, Sarah Fuller, onto their men's football team as a kicker. Note: This will be the last Ludology episode of 2020! We are taking our annual winter break, during which time there will be no episodes of Ludology, Biography of a Board Game, or GameTek. We will return on January 10, 2021 with our annual "State of the Industry" episode with the Podfather, Stephen Buonocore. SHOW NOTES 2m05s: Wondering how you can throw a spiral? 3m18s: Adrienne played for the New York Sharks. Here's the web page for the IFAF. 3m56s: More information about Jen Welter, the first female coach in the NFL. 5m14s: Gil wrote a Twitter thread about the history of women in football after the news about Sarah Fuller broke. 5m46s: Women's old-school football pants, versus MC Hammer's pants. 8m03s: The Women's Football Alliance, and the Women's National Football Conference 10m17s: More info about Ultimate, originally called Ultimate Frisbee. 10m42s: More info about Ultimate Hall of Famer Molly Goodwin. 14m00s: Adrienne is correct! The periodic table of the elements was first envisioned by Dmitri Mendeleev. Said he, "I saw in a dream a table where all elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper, only in one place did a correction later seem necessary." 21m56s: You can hear more from our interview with graphic/game designer Daniel Solis on Ludology 204 - The Eyes Have It. 25m23s: Here's a closer look at Adrienne's "Passing TD" card. 27m26s: You can hear more from our interview with mass market toy/game designer Kim Vandenbrouke on Ludology 212 - Inventing Play. 29m47s: Here's a clip of the amazing Kyler Murray "Hail Mary" pass that somehow landed in D'Andre Hopkins' arms. This happened the day before we recorded.

In this episode we review the lives and achievements of two towering figures in the world of 19th century science. Marie Curie (1867 - 1934) pioneered work in radioactivity, discovered two new elements and is the only winner of two Nobel prizes in different sciences. Dmitri Mendeleev (1834 - 1907) is the Russian chemist who proposed the Periodic Law and the Periodic Table of the Elements.

On this day in 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev presented his periodic table. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Mendeleev's story is both unique and inspiring. While he's best known for creating the periodic table, we focus on what makes him human, his struggles for success, and the race to chart our field of chemistry.

In this episode we interview John Farrington, the Dean Emeritus from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution whose research focused on marine organic geochemistry, biogeochemistry of organic chemicals of environmental concern, and the interaction between science and policy. We talk about his serendipitous journey via Marie Curie towards working at WHOI, his world travels as the Chief Scientist on several scientific cruises, his thoughts on how he has seen his field change, and some creative ways he has seen the art world and the science world collide.Support the show (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/laboratory-podcast/)

The Periodic Table How well do you know your Fe from your Cu, and what the heck is Np?? Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by comedian Katy Brand, Prof Polly Arnold and Prof Andrea Sella to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Dmitri Mendeleev's great achievement. They find out how scientists first realised that the elements that form the ingredients that make up our planet , are able to be organised in such a logical and ordered way, and whether its still a useful tool today. They also discover why one of the guests has been called the Free Solo equivalent of chemists because of the skill and danger involved in their work. Producer: Alexandra Feachem

Welcome back for another amazing episode from the Nerds, it is full of fun stuff, amazing science, and some crazy stuff. We hope as always that you enjoy it and perhaps by accident or intentionally learn something cool. I remember when I found out about chemistry, It was a long, long way from here, I was old enough to want it but younger than I wanted to be, Suddenly my mission was clear… All about chemistry. OK, I know that is the song Chemistry by Semisonic, but it relates to our first topic from Buck, which is all about chemistry and producing oxygen on Mars, Comets, and interplanetary space travel. That’s right we are one step closer to science fiction becoming reality once more. Honestly, where would the world be without science, science fiction, or Nerds to think up the impossible dreams? Although we must apologise for the zombie apocalypse resulting from the advancements in technology; otherwise known as reality television, social media, or just uncontrollable gaming. But, all that aside scientist have found a way to change carbon-dioxide (CO2) into beautiful oxygen (O2). That’s right, you heard us correctly, and it doesn’t involve a chemical scrubber like those currently used on submarines. No, this alters the very nature of the chemical bonds on a molecular level in a whole new way. By the power of Greyskull, someone has the power. That’s right folks, He-Man is coming back to our screens in the near future it seems. DJ has brought us news that a new extension to the story of He-Man is in the works, he says it is an anime, but we aren’t sold. But it is exciting that it appears to not be a rebirth or re-imagining. But then again that is those weirdos over at Disney doing all the remakes, except for the unfortunate incident with She-Ra. Whoever is responsible for that fiasco is a greater villain than Skeletor and Hordak combined. Seriously, it was traumatic to see what had happened there. With the contentiousness of is it going to be able to claim the title of an anime aside, He-Man is looking promising. Next we have the Professor bringing us news about the censorship of a few games in Australia and the impact that is having on the world. Now we normally don’t agree with a lot of the issues in censorship, or Material Ratings as they are referred to, but this time there is some merit. This topic is one in which the Nerds have a heated debate, and Buck really gets fired up, DJ gets angry and the Professor needs a whip and chair to keep them apart. So if you feel strongly about the topic of censorship this might be a poignant topic for you. We apologise if we offend anyone during this section (I know we don’t normally, but hey). Let us know what you think on the matter, is Buck an old fart that needs to be exhibited in a museum, is the DJ taking the matter too light, is it somewhere in between (like the Professor). As always we have the games played this week, which is looking interesting. Also the weekly shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and events of interest. As always stay safe, look out for each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Comet chemistry - https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/comet-inspires-chemistry-making-breathable-oxygen-marsHe-Man Anime - https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/08/19/he-man-anime-synopsis-kevin-smith-netflix/DayZ Banned in Australia - https://www.kotaku.com.au/2019/08/dayz-pc-ps4-xbox-one-banned-completely-australia/Games currently playingBuck– Dungeons and Dragons - https://dnd.wizards.com/Professor- https://store.steampowered.com/app/861540/Dicey_Dungeons/DJ – Mortal Kombat 11- https://www.mortalkombat.com/Other topics discussedChemistry – SemisonicPublished on Oct 7, 2009Music video by Semisonic performing Chemistry.

More than 200 people were accused, 19 of whom were found guilty and executed byhanging (14 women and 5 men). One other man, Giles Corey, was crushed to death for refusing to plead, and at least five people died in jail. It was the deadliest witch hunt in the history of colonial North America. Despite being generally known as the Salem witch trials, the preliminary hearings in 1692 were conducted in several towns: Salem Village (now Danvers), Salem Town, Ipswich, and Andover. The most infamous trials were conducted by the Court of Oyer and Terminer in 1692 in Salem Town. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials19 Aug 1953 – Cold War: The CIA and MI6 help to overthrow the government of Mohammad Mosaddegh in Iran and reinstate the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the last Shah of Iran. While the coup is at times referred to in the West as Operation Ajax after its CIA cryptonym, in Iran it is referred to as the 28 Mordad 1332 Coup d'état, after its date on the Iranian calendar. Mosaddegh was imprisoned for three years, then put under house arrest until his death and was buried in his own home so as to prevent a political furore. In 2013, the U.S. government formally acknowledged the U.S. role in the coup, as a part of its foreign policy initiatives. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat19 Aug 1967 - Beatles' "All You Need is Love" single goes #1. In a statement to Melody Maker magazine, Brian Epstein, the band's manager, said of "All You Need Is Love": "It was an inspired song and they really wanted to give the world a message. The nice thing about it is that it cannot be misinterpreted. It is a clear message saying that love is everything." Lennon later attributed the song's simple lyrical statements to his liking of slogans and television advertising. He likened the song to a propaganda piece, adding: "I'm a revolutionary artist. My art is dedicated to change." - https://www.stereogum.com/2018942/the-number-ones-the-beatles-all-you-need-is-love/franchises/the-number-ones/19 Aug 2013 – The Dhamara Ghat train accident kills at least 37 people in the Indian state of Bihar. At least 37 people were killed and 24 were injured. The accident triggered a protest by passengers who beat the driver unconscious, attacked staff and torched two coaches of the train. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhamara_Ghat_train_accidentRemembrances12 Aug 2019 - Danny Cohen, a distinguished computer scientist who helped develop the first digital visual flight simulator for pilot training, early digital voice conferencing and cloud computing. Cohen was a graduate student at Harvard University in the late 1960s when he helped develop the first computerized flight simulation system on a general-use computer. The design re-created aircraft flight and the landscape it travelled above. He was involved in the ARPAnet project and helped develop various fundamental applications for the Internet. Cohen is probably best known for his 1980 paper "On Holy Wars and a Plea for Peace" which adopted the terminology of endianness for computing (a term borrowed from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels). He died from Parkinson's disease at the age of 81 in Palo Alto, California. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Cohen_(computer_scientist)19 Aug 1662 - Blaise Pascal, French mathematician,physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalising the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defence of the scientific method. Pascal was an important mathematician, helping create two major new areas of research: he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of 16, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. Following Galileo Galilei and Torricelli, in 1647, he rebutted Aristotle's followers who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. Pascal's results caused many disputes before being accepted. He died from stomach cancer at the age of 39 in Paris. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Pascal19 Aug 1822 - Jean Baptiste Joseph Delambre, French mathematician and astronomer. He was also director of the Paris Observatory, and author of well-known books on the history of astronomy like the Histoire de l'astronomie from ancient times to the 18th century. Delambre was one of the first astronomers to derive astronomical equations from analytical formulas, was the author of Delambre's Analogies. He was a knight (chevalier) of the Order of Saint Michael and of the Légion d'honneur. His name is also one of the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel tower. The crater Delambre on the Moon is named after him. He died at the age of 72 in Paris. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Baptiste_Joseph_Delambre19 Aug 1977 - Groucho Marx, American comedian, writer, stage, film, radio, and television star. A master of quick wit, he is widely considered one of America's greatest comedians. He made 13 feature films with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, most notably as the host of the radio and television game show You Bet Your Life. His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, spectacles, cigar, and a thick greasepaint moustache and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the most recognizable and ubiquitous novelty disguises, known as Groucho glasses: a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, a large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and moustache. He died from pneumonia at the age of 86 at the age of 86 in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles,California. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groucho_Marx19 Aug 1994 - Linus Pauling, American chemist,biochemist,peace activist, author, educator, and husband of American human rights activist Ava Helen Pauling. He published more than 1,200 papers and books, of which about 850 dealt with scientific topics. New Scientist called him one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time, and as of 2000, he was rated the 16th most important scientist in history. Pauling was one of the founders of the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology. Pauling also worked on the structures of biological molecules, and showed the importance of the alpha helix and beta sheet in protein secondary structure. His discoveries inspired the work of James Watson,Francis Crick, and Rosalind Franklin on the structure of DNA, which in turn made it possible for geneticists to crack the DNA code of all organisms. In his later years he promoted nuclear disarmament, as well as orthomolecular medicine, megavitamin therapy, and dietary supplements. For his scientific work, Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954. For his peace activism, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is one of four individuals to have won more than one Nobel Prize (the others being Marie Curie,John Bardeen and Frederick Sanger). He died from prostate cancer at the age of 93 in Big Sur, California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_PaulingFamous birthdays19 Aug 1871 – Orville Wright, one half of the Wright Brothers who were two American aviation pioneers generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful airplane. They made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903, four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In 1904–05, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft, the Wright Flyer III. Although not the first to build experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible. The brothers' breakthrough was their creation of a three-axis control system, which enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and to maintain its equilibrium. This method remains standard on fixed-wing aircraft of all kinds. He was born in Dayton, Ohio - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers19 Aug 1921 – Gene Roddenberry, American television screenwriter,producer and creator of the original Star Trek television series, and its first spin-off The Next Generation. Roddenberry flew 89 combat missions in the Army Air Forces during World War II, and worked as a commercial pilot after the war. Later, he followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Los Angeles Police Department, where he also began to write scripts for television. As a freelance writer, Roddenberry wrote scripts for Highway Patrol, Have Gun–Will Travel, and other series, before creating and producing his own television series The Lieutenant. In 1964, Roddenberry created Star Trek, which premiered in 1966 and ran for three seasons before being cancelled. He then worked on other projects, including a string of failed television pilots. The syndication of Star Trek led to its growing popularity; this, in turn, resulted in the Star Trek feature films, on which Roddenberry continued to produce and consult. In 1985, he became the first TV writer with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he was later inducted by both the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Years after his death, Roddenberry was one of the first humans to have his ashes carried into earth orbit. The popularity of the Star Trek universe and films has inspired films, books, comic books, video games, and fan films set in the Star Trek universe. He was born in El Paso, Texas. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry19 Aug 1944 – Charles Wang, American businessman and philanthropist who was a co-founder and CEO of Computer Associates International, Inc. (later renamed to CA Technologies). Wang grew Computer Associates into one of the country's largest software vendors. Wang authored two books to help executives master technology: Techno Vision and Techno Vision II. He was a minority owner (and past majority owner) of the NHL's New York Islanders ice hockey team and their AHL affiliate, an investor in numerous businesses, and benefactor to charities including Smile Train, the World Childhood Foundation, the Islanders Children's Foundation and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, among others. He was born in Shanghai. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Wang19 Aug 1967 - Satya Nadella, engineer and Indian American business executive. He currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Microsoft, succeeding Steve Ballmer in 2014. He led a giant round of layoffs and flattened the organization (getting rid of middle managers). Before becoming chief executive, he was the Executive Vice President of Microsoft's Cloud and Enterprise Group, responsible for building and running the company's computing platforms. His tenure has emphasized openness to working with companies and technologies with which Microsoft also competes, including Apple Inc.,IBM and Dropbox. Under Nadella Microsoft revised its mission statement to "empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more". In comparison to founder Bill Gates's "a PC on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software", Nadella says that it is an enduring mission, rather than a temporal goal. His key goal has been transforming Microsoft’s corporate culture into one that values continual learning and growth. Nadella's leadership of Microsoft included a series of high-profile acquisitions of other companies, to redirect Microsoft's focus. His first major acquisition was of Mojang, a Swedish game company best known for the popular freeform computer building game Minecraft, in late 2014, for $2.5 billion. He followed that by purchasing Xamarin and LinkedIn in 2016, then GitHub in 2018. He was born Hyderabad, Telangana. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satya_NadellaEvents of interest19 Aug 1887 - Dmitri Mendeleev makes a solo ascent by balloon to an altitude of 11,500 feet (3.5 km) above Klin, Russia to observe an eclipse. - https://www.wired.com/2009/08/dayintech-0819/19 Aug 1940 – First flight of the B-25 Mitchell medium bomber.

In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev formulated his periodic table which revolutionised how we see the world by ordering elements according to their atomic weight. Retired scientist Dr. Tony Heyes offers his thoughts on this vital scientific landmark.

Dmitri Mendeleev hadde et problem: Den russiske professoren skulle skrive TO lærebøker i kjemi. I januar 1869 var det første bindet ferdig, men det dekket bare noen få av de grunnstoffene som var kjent på den tiden. Det var helt umulig å presse resten inn i bind 2 ! Mendeleev trengte en måte å organisere grunnstoffene på og – for å gjøre en lang historie kort og antagelig noe unøyaktig – så kan altså et DESPERAT forsøk på å holde en DEADLINE ha.. ført til at det periodiske systemet ble til. I disse dager er det 150 år siden.

“You are the maker of the dream … Whatever you put into the dream must be what is in you.” - Fritz Perls. There is little doubt that your dreams can impact the type of day that you are going to have. Dreams can indeed be very significant. Dmitri Mendeleev came up with the idea for the periodic table in a dream. Paul McCartney woke up with a tune in his head and thought, 'That's great, I wonder what that is?' and began to write down the music for what became “Yesterday” a song which resonates with us 50 years later. But when do we assign meaning to our dreams ? Are dreams not just an experience and should we not just experience the experience? Or, can dreams be used to understand what is going on inside ourselves ? How does our day-dreaming affect our conscious lives ? Are you a slave to your unconscious thinking ? Is it possible to leverage dreams to help you with your life ? We consider these questions and take a brief look at what Freud, Jung and the Gestalt theorists had to say about dream theory.

Where do creative ideas come and how do we capture them? Judah Pollack, author of The Net and the Butterfly, talks frontal lobes, “genius lounges,” and the Rolling Stones. Born and raised in Manhattan, Judah made his way to the West Coast, where he advises organizations like Air BnB, Google, Sonos, and the U.S. Army. TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:01 Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade, a podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida. The museum is named after James Robert Cade who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles. We’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them. We’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work, and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. Richard Miles: 0:39 What do Keith Richards, Albert Einstein, and Archimedes all have in common? They all experience creative breakthroughs. The good news is that so can you, I’m your host Richard Miles and we’re pleased to welcome creativity expert and author Judah Pollack, the author of “The Net and the Butterfly” to Radio Cade, welcome Judah. Judah Pollack: 0:56 Thank you so much for having me. Richard Miles: 0:57 So Judah, if I got your book correctly, essentially you’re telling me I can become a lead guitarist for the Rolling Stones is that about right? Judah Pollack: 1:03 No, no, I’m afraid there’s been a great misunderstanding. I think I’m in the wrong podcast. I got to go. Richard Miles: 1:09 Damn it. Alright . Um, no, but you, you , uh, you use that as one of the great examples of sort of a creative breakthrough. And, and I love the, the sort of the metaphor, the extended metaphor that you use about nets and butterflies and , and in fact your first couple of chapters play out , riff off that metaphor. You talk about four wings, sort of four ways that creative breakthroughs happen. And then, you know, you talk about being on the hunt, how to actually catch and record those ideas and then a lot of the book that follows this sort of real practical advice on how to do both the creative breakthrough part and sort of the , the catching and recording part. So I know I’ve probably done tremendous injustice to your book, but walk us through sort of an, again, starting from the beginning, how, how do you see creative breakthroughs happening through the major categories and then what are we supposed to do about them when we have them, if we have them. Judah Pollack: 2:02 Our brains have actually evolved a system to have breakthroughs, to see patterns in the noise. And the thing that it’s hard for us to get our heads around is it’s not a focused, rational system. And that’s very difficult for us because we like to be doing something on schedule, have a plan, and it’s important for that. That’s the executive function of your brain, which is literally a network of neurons at the front of your brain. Sort of like above your eyes. If you think of it that way, where you do everything like make a list, make sure to get to the airport on time, get a task done. It’s, you focus, you have discipline. Now this is also the part of your brain that goes quiet when you get drunk. So sometimes you don’t make great decisions, but you might also find yourself up on a table dancing and singing when you might not ordinarily be willing to do that. Richard Miles: 2:49 This is just friends you’ve seen right Judah? Judah Pollack: 2:51 I never, never me. So, the amazing thing is that not only does quieting frontal lobe, that executive network give you the ability to get on top of a bar and dance and sing, but it also gives a chance for this other network in your brain to come online. It’s the creative network technically it’s called the default mode network. We like to call it the genius lounge. It’s also a network. It has about 10 different brain regions and they all start talking to each other and get very creative, when you’re not focused on a problem and it’s, it’s utilizing and supporting the dance between these two systems, that leads to great breakthroughs, which is why all throughout history you have stories of somebody working incredibly hard. Like Keith Richards working incredibly hard to create a hit in 1967 on the rolling stones first American tour, but it was only when he fell asleep and then woke up, recorded the opening bars to the song satisfaction and then fell back asleep without even remembering he’d done it. That’s where the breakthrough came from. He woke up the next morning, turned on the recorder. He had about 30 seconds of those fantastic opening bars and then an hour of a tape of him snoring. And he, if he didn’t record it, he wouldn’t have remembered because it came from this more unconscious part of his brain, the more irrational part of his brain. That’s what we have a hard time accessing. Richard Miles: 4:12 Judah tell me, is this somewhat similar to um, what’s the name of the book? Is it fast, fast thinking, slow thinking? I think Daniel Kahneman with kind of talks about this, these two major functions. One is sort of like heavily engaged and another one that’s more instinct almost. Is that something similar? Judah Pollack: 4:27 I’m so glad you brought this up because just the other day I was like, we named it the wrong title. And so Daniel Kahneman talks about system one and system two, Richard Miles: 4:34 Right, okay. Judah Pollack: 4:35 And one of them is very sort of slow and methodical and one of them is very quick and as you said, instinctual. And so I realized we should have called it system three because this is actually very slow but very intuitive. It’s not rationally thought out. So whereas system one, the slow plotting rational system. Here we have a more slow system that’s very intuitive and instinctual. So it’s a mix of the two. And that is really where we get these sudden ahas. So the famous example would be in the shower and almost everyone has had an experience in the shower when they suddenly realize something, it’s a problem they’ve been having and might be something they’ve been working on. It could be a relationship there in the reason it works is because taking a shower gives your executive function just enough of a goal that it doesn’t have to really focus that hard on, right? We can shower with our eyes closed at this point, we can shower without really thinking about it. So our executive function is like, Oh I have something to do. And it kind of goes off to the side and that leaves space for your genius lounge to start working and start to put together novel concepts and then give you that breakthrough. Richard Miles: 5:39 And just so we’re clear, you know, if, if take Keith Richards as an example, if he weren’t already a musician, right? And sort of thinking about this all the time, highly unlikely he would have come up with satisfaction, right? So this is a , you know, this preparation or I guess see the genius, you already have to have some geniuses in that lounge, right? And are there have to been , uh, you know, scientists for instance, I mean, if, if you’re not trained in biology, you’re unlikely to invent the next biotech drug, for instance. Judah Pollack: 6:09 Yes and no. Richard Miles: 6:10 Yes and no. Okay, Judah Pollack: 6:10 So here’s , here’s , Richard Miles: 6:11 there’s still hope for me! Judah Pollack: 6:13 There’s still hope for you. You might be Keith Richards and not know it. So we do have to have some sort of skillset , some sort of specialty, something we’re really good at, something that we’ve put our time and attention on and focused on. Then we have to pull back from that to allow this kind of fascinating, irrational, open-ended process to happen to then have the new idea. So stories like this are about like Dmitri Mendeleev who created the periodic table. He’d been working on a chemistry textbook for three years and I’ve been trying to figure out how to lay out the known elements. He fell asleep and in a fever dream, the image of the periodic table came to him. So here’s that combination where he had deep knowledge of the subject but then was able to come and learn something, bring something new. Now at the same time, cross-pollination creates huge breakthroughs as well. So a great example of this is a meteorologist at the turn of the last century who was up in the North pole and the Arctic working on something and he noticed one day how the icebergs floating on the water looked like jigsaw puzzles. Fast forward two years, he’s back in his study in London. He’s looking at a globe and he notices that the continents remind him of those iceberg jigsaw puzzles. So he gets it into his mind that maybe they were once connected like a jigsaw puzzle would be. And he goes, he’s not a geologist, he is a meteorologist. He studies weather , but he gets this idea. He goes and he starts steadying South America and Africa and he starts noticing the rocks. The flora and fauna are very similar. Low and behold, this person invents the concept of continental drift, which completely revolutionizes everything we know about the earth, the crust, geology. But he wasn’t actually a geologist. And in fact, in that situation it helped because he didn’t have the orthodoxy of the dogma to tell him that that was insane. Richard Miles: 8:00 That reminds me actually of a, of an article in the Wall Street Journal that I read at least 10 years ago or more, and it was sounds like the setup to a joke, but basically it was a geologist sitting next to a political scientist at some dinner and they’re trying to figure out stuff to talk about. So the geologist is talking about his ability to, to , um, predict earthquakes based on a change that happened well in advance of an earthquake, subtle shifts deep below the earth. So the political scientist starts thinking, what, is there a way that you could apply that lesson to political science? And sure enough, he found what he thought was looking at economic data, not one or two years out from presidential election, but 10,15, 20 years out to see if that could accurately, accurately predict trends. And he found what he thought was a very strong correlation point being, you got this from a geologist and earthquakes, right? So nothing to do with political science whatsoever. Judah Pollack: 8:48 And sometimes I think the phrase they use is edge abundance. Where where two disciplines meet right at that edge, you tend get a flowering of life. So, and nature has it all the time. If you look at deep sea water events where it looks like it’s too hot for anything to live, and then there’s just life blooming everywhere from the energy and the minerals coming out of the vent. So, and if you look at where two ecosystems meet, they can be incredibly rich and alive with life. And so the same thing can happen when you have disciplines meet and so know the famous Bell Labs building that had so many incredible inventions come out of it just as very long hallway and the unwritten rule was don’t close your door so that there could be all this crosspollination . Right? And then there’s a great article about, I think it was building 40 at MIT, which was basically an overflow building. So if they didn’t, they couldn’t figure out where to put you . They didn’t have room, they just shoved you in building 40. So building 40 had people from all different lines of work, all sorts of disciplines, and nobody cared what you did. So if you wanted to knock out the roof and build something above you, if you needed something larger, you could. And this became just an idea factory Bose , the sound system came out of there. Um, all kinds of things came out of there because of this. People just wandering in and be like, what are you working on? And bringing their different points of view. Richard Miles: 9:59 So this is a perfect segue to want to talk about next . I mean, your book is more than just sort of an interesting observation of the way that the mind works and you know, how to, how to catch those ideas. Um, if you have an you do, right, you have, you have clients , uh , whether they’re companies, I don’t know if they’re schools or other entities that come to you and say they accept the premise of your argument and say, how do we make our employees or how do we make our company more creative? What are some of the sort of practical things or how do you start with a company like that? Do you say, okay, here are the 10 things you need to do or how long does it take to, there must be a period of diagnosis I imagine . Right? Judah Pollack: 10:37 I wish I could say, here are the 10 things you need to do. Everybody wants that. And the heart, the difficult thing about this work is if you’re doing it honestly, it’s emergent, which is a word that complexity scientists love and everybody else hates. Um, but it really is about what emerges out of the system. And so how do you support the system to let things emerge as opposed to quashing them down? So there is an element of coming in and doing some diagnoses, but the diagnoses tend to be pretty similar, which is people aren’t talking , um , status gets in the way. Um, somebody of higher status is in the room. Other people stay quiet or they have to listen to the higher status person’s idea. Um, people think that that’s not what we’re here to do or it’s not for me to do. They just wait to be told , um, questions aren’t asked. So these are all elements that get in the way of this kind of work being allowed to happen.There’s this wonderful study I just saw. They connected , um, sensors to Wolf packs and track them over the course of a season. Then they plotted the different Wolf packs on a map and they gave each pack of color. And so I think it’s like white, yellow, purple, green, whatever. And the map is amazing because the Wolf packs never cross into one another’s territory. You would think humans had drawn boundaries and that they stayed within those boundaries for that reason, they don’t do it. And so this idea of territorialism of status, it actually stops us from cross pollinating . It stops us from talking to each other. And that is usually one of the biggest issues when it comes to any organization being more innovative. Richard Miles: 12:13 So you’re not working with just any organizations, you know, you have an impressive client list including Airbnb, Google, Sonos and the U.S. Army. Do they come to you, Jonah when they are in crisis or did they come to you when you know they’re getting ready to launch an initiative? They want to move to the next stage? They want to be prepared or is it a mix of both? Judah Pollack: 12:34 Um, some people come to me in crisis, but it’s not usually for the innovation work that usually has some, it’s something else is going on and it’s more uh , teamwork, facilitation, leadership stuff. When they come from the innovation, it’s more because they’re looking ahead into the future and they’re sensing that like we’re not really coming up with the new ideas, especially if you work on the West coast where I live a good amount and there’s this huge pressure to innovate all the time, which is a little absurd. But that’s a story for another time because nobody can do it all the time. But they’ll come in and they’ll have the sense of like, especially if they’re growing or if they’re, they’re sort of, they feel older and stagnant and like, what can we do? What can we do to shift this up? And what’s interesting about this work is that very often the, what can we do is not complicated. We, we kinda know the things that help make things more innovative. It’s understanding the nature of the culture you’re walking into in that company and what are the elements of that culture that are stopping you from doing those things? That’s where the rubber meets the road and doing this work. Richard Miles: 13:38 So, so how does one, get to become a creativity expert. Sounds like a great gig. A lot of fun. I mean, what at what point in your life do you say this is my calling or what? Judah Pollack: 13:48 I have found that most of the people I talk to in this line of work, not just creativity work, but like the consulting in general. All of us say the same thing and you’re like, I have no idea how I got into this. Yeah . Nobody tells you this is a job. Um, you don’t really know it exists. I really fell into it very randomly. Um, I’ve always been interested in the creative process. Um, what goes on for myself when I’m being creative, what seems to go on for others and some of the myths around creativity. Um, like if you want to be a writer, you need to be an alcoholic or you know, if you want to be an artist, whatever that huge word means to people. Um , you have to be somewhat crazy or selfish or have a temper or narcissistic or if you want to be an innovator, you have to be slightly weird or awkward or adversarial or, so we have all of these myths built up around what it means to be creative in these ways. And I just started getting interested in how is it possible to do it and still be a healthy human being. Is that possible? And then when I stumbled upon some of the brain research, I was like, Oh well, well hang on, we know what the mechanisms are. We can just kind of mirror those so that that’s, it just sort of fell from there. Richard Miles: 14:56 So what were you like as a kid Judah? I mean, did , were you drawn to a particular subject? Were you good at school? Did your teachers love you? You know , uh , I mean, give us the whole package here. Judah Pollack: 15:08 I was a weird kid. I’ll be honest with you. My four older brothers , super sociable. My father is always like, you take care of your , your younger brother. So my brother, the super sociable, older brother would have to take me with him and I was just quiet and odd and socially awkward and I like go into the corner and like play with something and just kinda be curious how it worked or what it was doing or, or why things came together the way they did. I studied a lot of stuff. I observed a lot. My teachers liked me, but they didn’t necessarily understand me. Um, so people would very often try and give me direction that I didn’t necessarily ask for. I knew I was kind of lost. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with myself, but they didn’t bother me. And so I think when I, so I think when I came upon this research that said, like, the way to be innovative is to let yourself be a little bit lost for awhile . I was like, that’s right. Richard Miles: 15:56 I can do that. Judah Pollack: 15:57 I love this, this is perfect. Richard Miles: 15:58 Yeah. Um, so , Judah, I know your , your dad was a defense attorney. What did your mom do? Uh , my mom took care of us in the early years and then she did a lot of volunteer work. She took a whole lot of classes at the new school for social, social research in New York around everything and everything, which is where he grew up in New York, in New York, Manhattan? Judah Pollack: 16:16 In Manhattan. Okay. And so she would take these classes and then come home and tell us all about this. So it kind of kept it, kept the whole dinner table lively in terms of that. And then she also would volunteer a lot. So working at soup kitchens and teaching , um, Chinese immigrant women how to read and doing all kinds of things like that. Richard Miles: 16:32 So Judah, let’s come back to your , uh , some of your, your work that you do with clients , um , and without asking you to violate any nondisclosure agreements or, you know, face possible lawsuits right after this podcast, you know, what, what client would you say has experienced the biggest breakthrough on the innovation side? I’m not, not, you know the crisis. And then what is sort of been your most interesting naughtiest client? Interesting. Read, nutty client or story. Judah Pollack: 17:00 Um , so I’ll start with most interesting. This was a really fascinating thing that happened. I think , um, I think I was about a year and a half ago, so I was working with the army. I was working with a PSI ops group, which is psychological operations. And we were talking about shadow. And shadow is a psychological concept about the part of ourselves that we just don’t notice or pay attention to or think about or see. Um, it’s the part of us that comes out when we get really angry and then like two hours later we’re like, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what came over me. That’s the part of you that’s shadow. And I just, it was sort of an offhanded comment about how nations can have a shadow too . And so we got into a very long discussion about what the shadow of Russia and Iran might be. And in order to do that we had to look at first their conscious selves . How do they see themselves? What’s, what’s good? How did , when they, when they feel good about themselves and feel like they’re being misunderstood as nations, what do they look at and talked about, you know, Iran’s ancient history and all their inventiveness and their poetry and their architecture and their sort of passion for luxury and beauty in life. And then we said, okay, so that’s how they see themselves and. Now let’s talk about what’s, what’s the shadow side of that that’s going on right now? What is weld up? And the conversation was just, it was fascinating, but it’s also fascinating watching these PSYOPs soldiers start to really pick up on it and start to realize that if you want to influence another country, you have to actually understand these two sides of the country. And it was very gratifying for me to be like, you know, you need to know this. You’re doing important work. Um, but they were fascinated by it to actually do a sort of a psychological breakdown of an entire country and then how you might communicate to that country based on that. And so when I get to get into, into conversations like that, I find it fascinating and it’s, it’s not doing the actual like innovation work, but it’s using the innovation concepts and putting them into play. Um , and so that, that was, yeah, that was a fascinating experience. Richard Miles: 19:02 So now that you’ve revealed the secrets of the U.S. army, I think I can hear a black helicopter landing just outside of Heartwood soundstage. So they’ll, I’ll vouch for you Judah . Judah Pollack: 19:12 They don’t make me sign an NDA. Everyone in Silicon Valley makes you sign an NDA, but the army is like , Richard Miles: 19:19 Alright, one final question, Judah , we’ve talked a lot about companies being clients and organizations, but I think everyone would like to know that. I think everyone in theory would like to be more creative and have those creative breakthroughs. I’m sure you get asked this a lot, probably at every cocktail party go to , if somebody wants to have that creative breakthrough, what’s, what’s the advice that you can give them in a couple of minutes? Judah Pollack: 19:39 Number one, you are creative. No matter what you may have been told, no matter what you may believe, no matter what your experiences may have been, you have the same creative mechanism in your brain as the most creative person you can think of. Everyone is born with it. It’s just a question of building up the muscle. So the second piece is allowing yourself to build up the muscle, which means allowing yourself to be ridiculous sometimes not in public. You don’t have to get drunk and get up on the table and dance, but allow yourself to draw your idea. Most innovators I talked to draw a lot. They don’t draw well. This isn’t stuff they’re showing anybody not going to a gallery or museum, but by drawing, they actually access a different part of their brain and force themselves to imagine what they’re trying to do in a different way. And visual thinking is something that’s common across most creative people and innovators. But let yourself do things like that that might seem silly or it might seem ridiculous. Read about things you would never read about. Watch things you would never watch. Open yourself to information you just don’t know a lot about. Study the history of whatever you’re interested in. Talk to people in adjacent fields. Just let this information come in. Get lots of it because that’s what you’re going to need. These are like the Lego pieces that you’re building up in order to build whatever your new concept is and then stop. Let your mind wander. Go for a bike ride, do yoga, take a walk, watch a movie. Whatever it is that you do, let yourself do that and get into this rhythm of taking in this information. Very consciously writing it down, organizing it, and side note writing is really important using your hands as opposed to typing gets into your brain in a different way. So trying to get used to just taking notes if you can. So take those notes but then have the discipline to back off. Have the discipline to chill out, have the discipline to let your mind wander. That is actually the key component that gets lost in our go, go, go, do, do, do world. Richard Miles: 21:36 Great advice Judah. And for listeners who are trying to write all that down, you don’t have to because you can buy Judah’s book, “The Net and the Butterfly” available, I’m sure everywhere, right? Judah Pollack: 21:46 Everywhere. Richard Miles: 21:46 Everywhere. Amazon, your local bookstore, et cetera, et cetera. Judah , great to have you on the show. Um , good luck with the book and um , hopefully we can have you back one day. Judah Pollack: 21:55 I would love to you , thank you so much. Richard Miles: 21:56 I am Richard Miles.

Oltre a Marie Curie, Nobel per la chimica nel 1911, sono tante le donne che hanno avuto un posto importante nella storia della chimica, spesso poco riconosciuto.

Dopo Apollo 8, con la missione Apollo 9 di 50 anni fa si compiva un passo decisivo verso la conquista della Luna

It is 150 years since Dmitri Mendeleev discovered the periodic table, the innate order underpinning the elements. Kenneth Cukier explores how this simple grid has shaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. In a laboratory near Moscow the search is on for element 119, but on the other side of the world in California, researchers are hesitant. Is chemistry over?

2019 marks 150 years since construction began of the periodic table of chemical elements by the Russian chemist, Dmitri Mendeleev. Just 62 chemical elements were known then, but scientists have since increased that number to 118. University of Canterbury associate professor Sarah Masters is the President of the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, and will be leading events in New Zealand to mark the United Nations' International Year of the Periodic Table.

The amazing stories of the Russian capital, its ornate underground & legendary inventor.

The Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev attempted nothing less than to pull apart the fabric of reality and expose the hidden patterns that lie beneath everything in existence, from shoes and ships and sealing wax to cabbages and kings. The result was something known to almost everyone who has ever been to school: the Periodic Table of the elements. But why this particular arrangement? And why is it still the foundation of chemistry? Quentin Cooper is joined by Hugh Aldersey-Williams, who since he was a teenager has collected samples of elements and has drawn on his samples and knowledge to write Periodic Tales: The Curious Lives of the Elements; Michael Gordin, Professor of History at Princeton University and the author of A Well-Ordered Thing: Dmitri Mendeleev and the Shadow of the Periodic Table; Ann Robinson, Historian at the University of Massachusetts studying the development of the periodic table; And Eugene Babaev, Professor of Chemistry at Moscow State University who maintains both Russian and English websites on Mendeleev and his work.
