IF detection of elements originating from artificial transmutation can be attained by chemical methods, not only will this mean a desirable checking of physical observations, but also new results may ...

When I first began studying nuclear engineering nearly 40 years ago, I was fascinated by the fact that nuclear reactions can transmute one element to another. As years passed and the nuclear ...

Once upon a time, transmutation of the elements was a really big deal. Alchemists drove their patrons near to bankruptcy chasing the philosopher’s stone to no avail, but at least we got chemistry out ...

William D. Harkins achieves transmutation of elements, converting nitrogen to fluorine and then to hydrogen and oxygen by bombarding the starting element with a helium nucleus. A German physicist ...

IN NATURE of May 6, p. 652, a communication by Prof. F. A. Paneth and P. L. Günther was published on the application of chemical analysis to the study of processes of artificial transmutation of ...
