Use of zinc-70 in biological/super-heavy elements research

Post Reply New Topic

I'm doing a project in 30s chemistry on different isotopes use in science. Me and my partner chose zinc-70's use in biological and super-heavy element research. I was wondering if anybody has useful information that i can use for the project, namly, new uses, current expiriments, history, failures in discovering/producing, etc...

Any help will be aprisiated and i will include you in my credits. I will be rewording the info into my own words in french so i will not be plagerising your work. If possible, write the info in point form. Thank you

If you would like a copy of the project please pm me. And thank you again.

Google is your friend.

Thank you very much.

Where do I send the invoice?

Research assistant fees...

Oh.

To your research info insurence brooker.

So ... you got your homework done for free ... congratulations.

Its not done yet. I still have to prosses it, translate it, send it to my partner, get his info, plan the layout, divide the slides then compile it of powerpoint and animate and edit it.

If you want a stable (or stableish) super heavy element then you are better off using a neutron rich isotope which is so neutron rich that it is a beta emitter, that way you are more likely to end up in an island of stability. I know that one island of stability is at Pu-244 which has a far longer half life than Pu-239.

It might also help to go for a neutron rich target, I would be tempted to use Pu-244 or neutron rich curium (Cm-247 or Cm-248) are the target.

I am not sure if it ever will be possible to get to a super heavy with a Z much higher than the current highest Z elements.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Thank you

Who discovered or first synthosied zinc-70?
