1) Atoms are the building blocks of matter and contain protons and neutrons in the nucleus surrounded by electrons in orbitals. Different elements have different numbers of protons and electrons.
2) Electrons can move between energy levels of an atom by absorbing or emitting photons. Spectroscopy uses the characteristic wavelengths of emitted photons to identify elements.
3) Radioactive decay occurs when unstable nuclei emit particles or energy. Common types are alpha, beta, gamma decay. Applications include nuclear power, medical imaging, and homeland security scanning.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
2. The Atom
As you probably already know an
atom is the building block of all
matter. It has a nucleus with
protons and neutrons and an
electron cloud outside of the
nucleus where electrons are
orbiting and MOVING.
Depending on the ELEMENT, the
amount of electrons differs as
well as the amounts of orbits
surrounding the atom.
3. When the atom gets excited or NOT
To help visualize the atom think of it like a ladder. The bottom of
the ladder is called GROUND STATE where all electrons would
like to exist. If energy is ABSORBED it moves to a new rung on
the ladder or ENERGY LEVEL called an EXCITED STATE.
This state is AWAY from the nucleus.
As energy is RELEASED the electron can relax by moving to a
new energy level or rung down the ladder.
4. Energy Levels
Yet something interesting happens as
the electron travels from energy
level to energy level.
If an electron is EXCITED, that means
energy is ABSORBED and
therefore a PHOTON is absorbed.
If an electron is DE-EXCITED, that
means energy is RELEASED and
therefore a photon is released.
We call these leaps from energy level
to energy level QUANTUM LEAPS.
Since a PHOTON is emitted that
means that it MUST have a certain
wavelength.
5. Energy of the Photon
We can calculate the ENERGY
of the released or absorbed
photon provided we know the
initial and final state of the
electron that jumps energy
levels.
6. Energy Level Diagrams To represent these
transitions we can
construct an ENERGY
LEVEL DIAGRAM
Note: It is very important to understanding that these transitions DO NOT
have to occur as a single jump! It might make TWO JUMPS to get back to
ground state. If that is the case, TWO photons will be emitted, each with a
different wavelength and energy.
7. Example
An electron releases energy
as it moves back to its
ground state position. As a
result, photons are
emitted. Calculate the
POSSIBLE wavelengths of
the emitted photons.
Notice that they give us the
energy of each energy
level. This will allow us to
calculate the CHANGE in
ENERGY that goes to the
emitted photon.
This particular sample will release three
different wavelengths, with TWO being
the visible range ( RED, VIOLET) and
ONE being OUTSIDE the visible range
(INFRARED)
8. Energy levels Application: Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy is an optical technique by which we can
IDENTIFY a material based on its emission
spectrum. It is heavily used in Astronomy and
Remote Sensing. There are too many subcategories
to mention here but the one you are probably the
most familiar with are flame tests.
When an electron gets excited inside
a SPECIFIC ELEMENT, the electron
releases a photon. This photon’s
wavelength corresponds to the
energy level jump and can be used
to indentify the element.
10. Emission Line Spectra
So basically you could look at light
from any element of which the
electrons emit photons. If you
look at the light with a diffraction
grating the lines will appear as
sharp spectral lines occurring at
specific energies and specific
wavelengths. This phenomenon
allows us to analyze the
atmosphere of planets or
galaxies simply by looking at the
light being emitted from them.
11. Nuclear Physics - Radioactivity
Before we begin to discuss the specifics of radioactive
decay we need to be certain you understand the
proper NOTATION that is used.
To the left is your typical radioactive
isotope.
Top number = mass number = #protons
+ neutrons. It is represented by the
letter "A“
Bottom number = atomic number = # of
protons in the nucleus. It is represented
by the letter "Z"
12. Nuclear Physics – Notation & Isotopes
An isotope is when you have
the SAME ELEMENT, yet
it has a different MASS.
This is a result of have
extra neutrons. Since
Carbon is always going to
be element #6, we can
write Carbon in terms of its
mass instead.
Carbon - 12
Carbon - 14
13. Einstein – Energy/Mass Equivalence
In 1905, Albert Einstein publishes a 2nd major
theory called the Energy-Mass
Equivalence in a paper called, “Does the
inertia of a body depend on its energy
content?”
14. Einstein – Energy/Mass Equivalence
Looking closely at Einstein’s equation we see that he
postulated that mass held an enormous amount of
energy within itself. We call this energy BINDING
ENERGY or Rest mass energy as it is the energy
that holds the atom together when it is at rest. The
large amount of energy comes from the fact that the
speed of light is squared.
16. Mass Defect
The nucleus of the atom is held together by a STRONG
NUCLEAR FORCE.
The more stable the nucleus, the more energy needed to break it
apart.
Energy need to break to break the nucleus into protons and
neutrons is called the Binding Energy
Einstein discovered that the mass of the separated particles is
greater than the mass of the intact stable nucleus to begin with.
This difference in mass (m) is called the mass defect.
17. Mass Defect - Explained
The extra mass turns into energy
holding the atom together.
20. Radioactive Decay
There are 4 basic types of
radioactive decay
Alpha – Ejected Helium
Beta – Ejected Electron
Positron – Ejected Anti-
Beta particle
Gamma – Ejected Energy
You may encounter protons
and neutrons being emitted

nitrogen-13, oxygen-15,
fluorine-18, and iodine-
121.
25. Beta Plus Decay Application - Positron
emission tomography (PET)
Positron emission tomography
(PET) is a nuclear medicine
imaging technique which
produces a three-dimensional
image or picture of functional
processes in the body. The
system detects pairs of gamma
rays emitted indirectly by a
positron-emitting radionuclide
(tracer), which is introduced
into the body on a biologically
active molecule. Images of
tracer concentration in 3-
dimensional space within the
body are then reconstructed by
computer analysis.
27. Gamma Decay Applications
Gamma rays are the most dangerous type of radiation
as they are very penetrating. They can be used to
kill living organisms and sterilize medical equipment
before use. They can be used in CT Scans and
radiation therapy.
Gamma Rays are used to view stowaways inside of a truck. This
technology is used by the Department of Homeland Security at
many ports of entry to the US.

Nuclear Fusion is the process by which multiple like-
charged atomic nuclei join together to form a heavier
nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption
of energy.
29. Fusion Applications - IFE
In an IFE (Inertial Fusion Energy) power plant, many (typically
5-10) pulses of fusion energy per second would heat a low-
activation coolant, such as lithium-bearing liquid metals or molten
salts, surrounding the fusion targets. The coolant in turn would
transfer the fusion heat to a power conversion system to produce
electricity.
30. Significant Nuclear Reactions - Fission
Nuclear fission differs from other forms of radioactive decay in that it can be
harnessed and controlled via a chain reaction: free neutrons released by
each fission event can trigger yet more events, which in turn release more
neutrons and cause more fissions. The most common nuclear fuels are 235U
(the isotope of uranium with an atomic mass of 235 and of use in nuclear
reactors) and 239Pu (the isotope of plutonium with an atomic mass of 239).
These fuels break apart into a bimodal range of chemical elements with
atomic masses centering near 95 and 135 u (fission products).

31. Fission Bomb
One class of nuclear weapon, a fission
bomb (not to be confused with the
fusion bomb), otherwise known as
an atomic bomb or atom bomb, is a
fission reactor designed to liberate
as much energy as possible as
rapidly as possible, before the
released energy causes the reactor
to explode (and the chain reaction to
stop).
A nuclear reactor is a device in
which nuclear chain fission reactions
are initiated, controlled, and
sustained at a steady rate, as
opposed to a nuclear bomb, in which
the chain reaction occurs in a
fraction of a second and is
uncontrolled causing an explosion.
