Double Helix X Ray
784 wordsBorn on July 25, 1920 in London, England, Rosalind Elise Franklin was a catalyst to many other scientists in the field of genetics. Using coal and carbon as subjects, Franklin discovered the double helix of DNA, the shape that two linear strands of DNA assume when bonded together. In 1945, Franklin received her Ph. D in physical chemistry from Cambridge University. The next year she went to Paris and worked in the Laboratoire Central des Services Chimiques de Left until 1950 where she concentrat...

Radio Telescopes Radio Waves
1,285 words... copes Orbiting telescopes are used to observe the ultraviolet (UV), far infrared, and X-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Infrared Astronomical Satellite, placed in orbit in 1983, carried a 22. 5 -inch infrared telescope. Because all matter emits infrared radiation if warm, technologists had to cool the telescope to near absolute zero with liquid helium so its internal heat radiation would not mask radiation it was collecting from deep space objects. Among its many discoverie...

Intellectual Property Rights X Rays
839 wordsPhysics Current Event Article Traditionally, for about 40 years now, cancer therapy has been using protons to treat tumors. This treatment has been in use since 1946, after Robert Wilson, a Berkeley physicist offered it as an option to less effective X-rays method. However, protons, as well as X-rays cause damage to DNA because they use radiation. According to Michael Holzscheiter, a spokesman for Geneva Cern's particle accelerator laboratory, there a new, revolutionary safer method for treating...

Cell Lung Cancer Small Cell Lung
3,371 wordsLung cancer is not just one disease but rather a group of diseases. All forms of cancer cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control. Most types of cancer cells form a lump or mass called a tumor. Cells from the tumor can break away and travel to other parts of the body where they can continue to grow. This spreading process is called metastasis. When cancer spreads, it is still named after the part of the body where it started. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the lungs, it...

Electrons Collide Focal Spot Rays
222 wordsProduction of x-rays requires training a stream of electrons produced at a metal cathode on a metal anode. As the electrons collide with atoms in the anode, they are stopped but their energy is released in two forms mostly heat and a very small quantity (1 %) as x-rays. The area ofthe cathode where the fast moving electrons collide is called the focal spot and is in fact the source of the x-rays. The x-rays generated at the focal spot travel out in all directions. However, the head of the x-ray ...

Ultraviolet Rays Gamma Rays
343 wordsI went to Hawaii on vacation to get a tan, but I got something else instead. Ultraviolet rays are stronger, and hotter near the equator. When I got home I got x-rays. I was sent for treatment with gamma rays. Wow! What a vacation. It was so hot that I had to jump into a pool just to cool off. Ultraviolet rays have wavelengths between 10 nm and 430 nm. They also have a very high frequency of about 10, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 Hz. - 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 Hz. Photon energy emissions are al...

2,387 wordsRadium is a silver-white, highly radioactive element. It? s atomic number is 88, and it is the heaviest alkali earth metal, having a mass number of 226. 025 (See Figure 1). Radium has at least twenty six isotopes, and all are radioactive (Shriver 1995). Since radium is chemically similar to calcium and magnesium, it is absorbed by the bones of animals. Once in the bones, it emits alpha, beta, and gamma rays (Shriver 1993). These rays shrink or destroy tissues and they are the reason radium is so...
