    If I had a teacher like this guy, I may very well have gone into chemistry instead of Mechanical Design. All teachers should have the love of a subject like him. I never realized the importance and usefulness of chemistry till I was older. Now I use it for Plating, metals finishing, pyrotechnics, gardening, etc. So many things that interest me ended up tied to chemistry.

    1:26 Translation:
    About the Element with the atomic number 61
    by Luigi Rolla and Lorenzo Fernandes
    The search for the yet unknown elements of the 5th period that, according to Moseley's studies have the atomic numbers 61 and 72, has received attention in the last decade.
    The Problem about the former element (note: Maybe they meant "latter") has been solved in the year 1923 by Coster and Hevery by the discovery of Hafnium. The Element 61 though is not yet discovered.

      Germany was sort of the center of the scientific world until the Nazis decided they didn't _want_ to be the center of the scientific world if it meant admitting that most of their best science was done by Jews. The Americans and Brits decided they didn't care as much and were happy to take over leadership in science if Germany was done with it. The standard language of science has been English ever since.

What do we expect to find at the "island of stability"? Is there a stable element with a higher atomic number?

    I love when Oak Ridge is mentioned, it is an amazing place with such an amazing amount of intelligence.

    Thank you for your knowledge Professor. Is #61 magnetic? Promethium has 'fission' potential...

    What a name, and I never realized it. I'm a sucker for names that have real meaning behind them, and the idea of naming an element connected to the nuclear bomb program after a man who stole the gods' power just really makes happy.

    Promethium was used in the betavoltaic battery. The electrons directly drove PN junctions. Using a phosphor to create light to drive a PV is used in the optovoltaic battery.
    For interstellar missions Carbon 14 is being considered because of its very long half life.

    Promethium sounds like an element good for lighting.

    Promethium has a very special place in the measurement of basis weight in light weight paper production. Usually less than 100 gsm. Krypton does not have the resolution for very precise measurement. Process control systems have been using it since the early 90s. How would I know? Because I was there.
    PS using more krypton does not improve the resolution only the signal to noise. Beta decay is not a continuous stream of electrons.

    Can you do a video on Rhenium Diboride, Wurtzite Boron Nitride and ultrahard fiends and why they are so hard?

    I remember in undergrad doing ion exchange chromatography. Fun times.

    Miniature RTGs using Pu-238 were also used in pacemakers. Most of the RTGs were made by Alcatel in France.
