  • Hydrocarbon Dynamics in Microporous Catalysts
    Hydrocarbon Dynamics in Microporous Catalysts Alexander James O’Malley Department of Chemistry, University College London (UCL) Supervisor: Professor C. R. A. Catlow Second Supervisor: Dr D. W. Lewis Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Engineering 2015 1 I, Alexander James O’Malley, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 I wish to dedicate this thesis to Sylvia Patricia O’Malley, Matthew ‘Romeo’ Rodrigues and Nelson Rodrigues, who are always in my thoughts. Also, to the parents and politicians who believe selective schools are necessary for academic children to flourish, you are incorrect. 3 Abstract The dynamics of hydrocarbons inside microporous zeolite catalysts are studied using neutron scattering methods and complementary molecular simulations, to investigate quantitatively a crucial component of industrial zeolite catalysis. The diffusion of longer n-alkanes in the siliceous analogue of ZSM-5, silicalite is modelled using state-of-the-art molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The measured diffusivities show far improved agreement with quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) experiments. Isobutane diffusion in silicalite is also modelled, giving good agreement with diffusion coefficients and jump diffusion parameters obtained by neutron spin-echo experiments. The simulations give interesting insights into preferred siting locations, contradicting previous studies of isobutane dynamics in the MFI structure due to the use of a more accurate framework model. Tandem QENS and MD studies of octane isomer diffusion in zeolite HY show a counterintuitive increase in diffusion with branching, due to alkane clustering in the faujasite supercage.

In David Wineland’s laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, electrically charged atoms or ions are kept inside a trap by surrounding electric fields. One of the secrets behind Wineland’s breakthrough is mastery of the art of using laser beams and creating laser pulses.

  • ARIE SKLODOWSKA CURIE Opened up the Science of Radioactivity
    ARIE SKLODOWSKA CURIE opened up the science of radioactivity. She is best known as the discoverer of the radioactive elements polonium and radium and as the first person to win two Nobel prizes. For scientists and the public, her radium was a key to a basic change in our understanding of matter and energy. Her work not only influenced the development of fundamental science but also ushered in a new era in medical research and treatment.

  • Nfap Policy Brief » October 2019
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF» OCTOBER 2019 IMMIGRANTS AND NOBEL PRIZES : 1901- 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Immigrants have been awarded 38%, or 36 of 95, of the Nobel Prizes won by Americans in Chemistry, Medicine and Physics since 2000.1 In 2019, the U.S. winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics (James Peebles) and one of the two American winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (M. Stanley Whittingham) were immigrants to the United States. This showing by immigrants in 2019 is consistent with recent history and illustrates the contributions of immigrants to America. In 2018, Gérard Mourou, an immigrant from France, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 2017, the sole American winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was an immigrant, Joachim Frank, a Columbia University professor born in Germany. Immigrant Rainer Weiss, who was born in Germany and came to the United States as a teenager, was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing it with two other Americans, Kip S. Thorne and Barry C. Barish. In 2016, all 6 American winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and scientific fields were immigrants.

Although he is known first of all for his numerous pioneering investigations and his eminence as a teacher, he very properly is a first-hand re porter and historian of some of the most momentous events in the history of science. Professor de Hevesy was born in Budapest August 1, 1885. He earned the doctoral degree at the University of Freiburg in 1908. He then went to Zurich for postgraduate work in physical chemistry. He was one of twenty in the audi ence attending Einstein's inaugural lecture as Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics. In 1911, to prepare for investigations suggested by Haber, he went to Rutherford's Laboratory in Manchester to become familiar with techniques for studying the conductivity of electricity in gases. During the years 1911-1914, he was associated with the discovery of the atomic nucleus, the use of a forerunner of Geiger's Beta Counter for detecting alpha particles, the setting up of the first X-ray spectograph by Moseley, and the discovery of cosmic rays by Hess. He visited Madame Curie in her laboratory many times after he began work with Radium D in 1912. Professor de Hevesy's most notable investigations started with his failure to separate Radium D (Pb21°) from large amounts of radioactive lead chloride, at Lord Rutherford's request.
