Za tieto roky sa udiali veľké zmeny v politickej orientácii štátov, dochádza k rozdeleniu Československa na dva samostatné štáty, prechod na nové storočie, neuveriteľné pokroky vo vedeckej oblasti, postupné prechody na nové komunikačné a informačné technológie. Jedno však zostáva nezmenené, a to snaha pedagógov a výskumných pracovníkov odovzdávať svoje vedomosti a skúsenosti poslucháčom štúdia vo všetkých študijných stupňoch. Aj touto cestou sa chcem poďakovať všetkým kolegom, ale tiež domácim a zahraničným absolventom, ktorí sa svojou prácou zaslúžili o rozvoj katedry a vždy radi na ňu spomínajú ako rodičia na svoje deti. Ďakujem všetkým, ktorí sa zúčastnili seminára z príležitosti výročia jej založenia a prispeli svojimi prezentáciami a fotografickou dokumentáciou k vzniku tejto publikácie. prof.

  • Albert Ghiorso 1915-2010
    Albert Ghiorso 1915-2010 Albert Ghiorso, the celebrated nuclear scientist who co-discovered more elements than anyone in history and a prolific inventor of nuclear techniques and machines, passed away from natural causes on 26 December 2010 in Berkeley, California. Ghiorso was born in Vallejo, California, on 15 July 1915. He became fascinated with airplanes and aeronautics when he moved with his family to Alameda, near the Oakland airport. That exposure triggered his lifelong interest in machines, technology, and electronics. After high school he began experimenting with radio, and soon his projects were exceeding even military capabilities. On a scholarship, he attended the University of California, Berkeley, and in 1937 he received a BS in electrical engineering. His first job, with a firm developing Geiger counters, brought him in contact with the nuclear chemistry group at Berkeley. That led to an invitation from Glenn Seaborg to join him at the University of Chicago’s Metallurgical Laboratory, which was responsible for elaborating the chemistry of plutonium as part of the Manhattan Project. Thus began their lifetime collaboration, which eventually resulted in the addition of 12 new elements to the periodic table and numerous innovations in nuclear chemistry, radiation detection, and accelerator science. Ghiorso’s first work in Chicago involved measuring the energies of alpha particles from isotopes produced by irradiation of uranium, neptunium, and plutonium. Ghiorso and colleagues built an electromechanical 48-channel pulse-height analyzer, which they used to spectroscopically resolve the characteristic nuclear radiation, thus providing the first nonchemical means of isotope identification. In 1944–45 the Seaborg group used the reactor at the Clinton Laboratories (later Oak Ridge National Laboratory) and cyclotrons at Washington University in Saint Louis and at Berkeley to irradiate plutonium-239 with neutrons and deuterons.

  • The Life and Contributions to the Periodic Table of Glenn T. Seaborg
    Pure Appl. Chem. 2019; 91(12): 1929–1939 Conference paper David Seaborg* The life and contributions to the periodic table of Glenn T. Seaborg, the first person to have an element named after him while he was still alive https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2019-0816 Abstract: Glenn Seaborg was born on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in 1912. At age 10, he moved to southern California, where his high school chemistry and physics teacher, Dwight Logan Read, sparked his interest in these fields. Seaborg was the first person to have an element named after him while he was still living. The only other person to have an element named after him while he was still alive was Yuri Oganessian. Keywords: actinide series; Mendeleev 150; periodic system; periodic table; Seaborg. Early life Glenn Theodore Seaborg was born in Ishpeming, on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, in the United States, on April 19, 1912. His parents were Swedish Americans, and he spoke Swedish before he spoke English. He was proud of his Swedish heritage for his entire life. Ishpeming was rural. It has a cold climate similar to that of Sweden, which is why Seaborg’ paternal grandfather and mother each moved there from Sweden. The snow was so high in winter that he skied out of the second story window of his modest house. In his 10 years in Ishpeming, he never talked on the phone or heard the word “radio”. He never forgot his roots in Ishpeming, and visited it throughout his life. The Seaborg’s friends Bob and Ruth Engstroms had moved to Southern California and wrote a letter urging Glenn’s parents to join them.
