At the height of the race to build an atomic bomb, an indoor tennis court in one of the Midwest’s most affluent residential neighborhoods became a secret Manhattan Project laboratory. Polonium in the Playhouse: The Manhattan Project's Secret Chemistry Work in Dayton, Ohio presents the intriguing story of how this most unlikely site in Dayton, Ohio, became one of the most classified portions of the Manhattan Project.   Seized by the War Department in 1944 for the bomb project, the Runnymede Playhouse was transformed into a polonium processing facility, providing a critical radioactive ingredient for the bomb initiator—the mechanism that triggered a chain reaction. With the help of a Soviet spy working undercover at the site, it was also key to the Soviet Union’s atomic bomb program.   The work was directed by industrial chemist Charles Allen Thomas who had been chosen by J. Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie Groves to coordinate Manhattan Project chemistry and metallurgy. As one of the nation’s first science administrators, Thomas was responsible for choreographing the plutonium work at Los Alamos and the Project’s key laboratories. The elegant glass-roofed building belonged to his wife’s family.   Weaving Manhattan Project history with the life and work of the scientist, industrial leader and singing-showman Thomas, Polonium in the Playhouse offers a fascinating look at the vast and complicated program that changed world history and introduces the men and women who raced against time to build the initiator for the bomb.

Polonium Motion Trio - CD 5907437034361

Ce livre réunit près de 500 lettres et documents de, à et concernant de très près Pierre Curie. Ils proviennent d'archives publiques et privées, françaises et internationales et sont pour la plupart inédits. Ces documents apportent un nouvel éclairage sur la découverte du polonium et du radium, sur la recherche solitaire de pechblende par Pierre Curie et sur les deux véritables auteurs de la nomination pour le prix Nobel de physique 1903, qui n'inclut pas Marie Curie. Ils témoignent également des efforts de Pierre Curie pour obtenir un vrai laboratoire, qui ne sera accordé qu'à Marie Curie, de sa passion pour l'avancement des chercheurs et le développement des études scientifiques et, enfin, de sa curiosité pour le spiritisme. Gageons que ce livre fera resurgir d'autres éléments pour laisser à la postérité l'image du savant la plus complète possible.15 x 23,5 cm----------------------------------------

Meet Marie Curie -- Nobel laureate and world famous scientist. Marie was the first woman to win the world's top science prize -- and the first person to win it twice. The story of her discoveries, including the metals polonium and radium, and her contribution to the study of radiation is told in level-appropriate language and detailed illustrations. This Level 3 reader contains longer, more complex stories and sentences, more challenging vocabulary, language play and minimal repetition.

1st November 2006: Alexander Litvinenko is brazenly poisoned in central London. Twenty-two days later he dies, killed from the inside by Polonium - a rare, lethal and highly radioactive substance. His crime? He had made some powerful enemies in Russia. This is the inside story of the life and death of Litvinenko and of Russia’s new cold war with the west. Harding traces the journey of the nuclear poison across London, from hotel room to nightclub, assassin to victim. It’s a deadly trail that leads back to Vladimir Putin, and to a regime exposed by the Panama Papers. Luke Harding's investigation into the death of Alexander Litvinenko, A Very Expensive Poison, may also help us shed light on the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury. From the author of the No.1 New York Times bestseller Collusion.

Chronicles the life of Marie Curie, the first woman to receive a doctorate in physics from the Sorbonne and the discoverer of radium and polonium, and her daughter Ire+a6ne, famous scientists who between them won three Nobel prizes.
