SCIENTISTS FIND
ELEMENT NO. 90

and chemical behavior confirm its
right to the title.
1t also suggests there may be
an element number 81.
The new physical find is of no
practical value at present, but it
conceivably might become useful
as the mother of other substances
of potential worth in the hunt for
sources of atomic power or as the
forerunner of additional elements
resulting from atom smashing.
The work vas done by DR.. Ed
win Mcmillan, university of Cali
fornia physicist, and DR.. Philip
Hauge Abelson, of the Carnegie III
stitution of Washington, with the
financial help of the Rockefeller
foundation and the research cor
poration.
They found No. SO emerging
from the debris resulting when ur-
anium atoms e exploded b y
bombardment with particles from
the c%yclotron. In experiments with
the high energy explosions of uran-
ium this residue had been noticed
by many scientists.
Element SO is the grand-daugh.
ter of uranium. It's mother is an
ordinary uranium atom which has
been struck by a neutron bullet
from an demonstrating instrument
and thus converted into a sub
stance of unstable form.
The mother is short-lived, exist
ing but a few hours. The grand
daughter exists several days, ther
turns into a substance having {
long life.
Whether this long-enduring sub
stance is element "a or something
else remains to be seen.
Its lack of radioactivity thus fal
has demonstrated that in it's pre-
sent state it would be of no praci
cal value as a natural source G
atomic energy. Its worth in tina
respect would depend upon the a
yet explored possibility of it
being converted easily and swift
by demonstrating treatment int
some form of self-exploding uran
ium.
