Some of the greatest medical advancements in the modern age involve the use of many different types of radiation. Radiation therapy is used in treating multiple different types of cancer‚ and radiation from certain elements are put in X-ray tubes to save countless lives and prevent permanent injury wherever possible. Many organisations also use it for security‚ as well as the general use in the everyday home. These advancements and many more were based on the work of Marie Curie‚ renowned female

Otto Hahn was a German chemist who revolutionized the field of nuclear chemistry. Following a lifelong interest in chemistry‚ he found himself on the forefront of radiochemistry research in the early 20th century. Through a series of chance discoveries‚ he and his fellow researchers brought radiochemistry out of the realm of theoretical research and into actual practical science. One of the practical uses of this research led to the development of nuclear weapons. While Otto Hahn’s lifetime of education

To Mayor Patrick Quinn‚ My name is Santiago Arellano‚ and I am a resident of Broomfield Colorado. I would like to present my opinion on the North Park Hydraulic Fracturing. Hydraulic Fracturing is a very ingenious way of removing oil from the deep Shale‚ which we have been unable to reach. This method‚ also known as Fracking‚ is also very small. It starts out with a drill rig and a holding tank for the first 3 months‚ but then once the well is dug‚ it looks like another oil drill‚ and will continue
