From our archives: “History of the cyclotron” by M. Stanley Livingston from October 1959 On May 1, 1959, in memory of the late Ernest Orlando Lawrence, two invited lectures on the history of the cyclotron were presented as part of the American Physical Society's annual spring meeting in Washington, D.C. This article is based on Prof. Livingston's talk on that occasion. doi.org/10.1063/1.3060… #FromTheVault #PTarchive

Seaborgium-257 was produced by colliding a beam of chromium-52 with a thin layer of lead-206. The researchers detected 21 spontaneous fission decays of a seaborgium-257 nucleus, as well as one alpha decay, for a total of 22 nuclei. chemistryworld.com/news/new-seabo…
