@historyachannel.bsky.socialIrène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie proved that radioactive elements can be created artificially by bombarding aluminum with alpha particles. This 1934 experiment completely shattered the belief that radioactivity was exclusively a natural property of heavy isotopes. #ScienceHistory

@historyachannel.bsky.socialIn 1967, Cambridge PhD student Jocelyn Bell Burnell spotted a 'bit of scruff' in her radio telescope charts: pulses every 1.337 seconds. Announced in February 1968, the first pulsar was soon explained as a rapidly spinning neutron star. #ScienceHistory

@amazeify.storeThe first cable failure wasn’t a fluke. It was a warning. At Arecibo, an auxiliary cable slipped in August 2020. Then more cables failed, and on December 1, the telescope’s platform crashed through the dish. What warning signs do you think we miss until it’s too late? 👀 #Arecibo #ScienceHistory
@primrlab.bsky.social(2) EN: 3) ~70% of CF alleles carry a three-base deletion (F508del), with the remaining cases caused by many rarer variants. Together, these findings launched molecular diagnosis and research in CF.
