...around your rooms? The new GE Reveal bulbs produce a crisper, whiter light that is much closer to natural sunlight and makes colors look brighter. Ideal for kitchens or work areas around the home, the powder-blue bulbs are no more expensive than regular ones. The secret ingredient is neodymium, a rare earth element that is baked into the glass to help filter out the usual yellow...
...millions of tons of quick-settling coral dust. First radioactive material from the May 21 explosion was brought home by the tuna boat Stiruga Maru. Analyzed by Dr. Kenjiro Kimura of Tokyo University, it proved to contain a familiar array of fission products-ruthenium, rhodium, tellurium, iodine, cerium, neodymium, etc.-as well as uranium 237 and neptunium 239. This combination of elements indicated that the explosion was the "fission-fusion-fission" type, which gets much of its energy from the fission of normally inactive uranium...
...Tenn. they had synthesized and isolated Element 61, thus filling the last gap in the periodic table. They had extracted the missing element from the miscellaneous "fission products" formed by uranium atoms splitting in the Oak Ridge pile, and had also built it up by bombarding Element No. 60 (neodymium) with neutrons...
When he came to scrutinize Nos. 60 and 62, two metallic members of the gathering, named Neodymium and Samarium respectively, he detected a presence fainty visible between them. Bringing them further out into the open-he was working with X-rays and used delicate refining methods to isolate the two metals that he wished to examine more closely-he clearly beheld this intervening shadow. It appeared in the wavelength spectra of Nos. 60 and 62 as a line that belonged to neither yet was identical in both. Forthwith, though he had no lump of new metal in his hand...
