Lutetium is silvery grey metal element belonging to the group of rare earth metals (lanthanides) as its last member which closes it. Unlike some other lanthanides, lutetium is relatively stable at dry air, but is readily oxidized in humid environment and at higher temperatures. Lutetium has highest hardness (Brinnel - 893 MPa), density (9.84

Beryllium is a steel grey hard and brittle metal with relatively low density, high thermal capacity and high sound conductivity. Due to its interesting physical-chemical characteristics, it has many uses in special materials used for example in aerospace applications or electronics. Main drawback of beryllium and its compounds is really high

In this post I would like to present gamma spectrum of cobalt-60 radioisotope. This isotope has many industrial and medical uses, for instance in gamma defectoscopy, thickness measurement, tools and food sterilization or in radiotherapy. One gram of cobalt-60 has huge activity - about 44 terabecquerels (TBq). By the way, if one would hang around

Trinitite is a mineral of artificial origin resulting from the first atomic bomb blast at Alamogordo site in New Mexico (USA) on July 16, 1945. At high temeprature which occured in the epicenter of detonation, sand and rocks melted and mixed with products of nuclear fission. After solidification, glassy material known as Trinitite emerged. Even
