Astatine is the rarest naturally-occurring element, existing only as the decay product of heavier elements. Its physical properties are unknown because of its rarity and short half-life (less than 8 hours).

Polonium was the first element discovered by Marie Curie, and she named it after her home country, Poland. It is highly radioactive; a gram of polonium will generate enough radiation to heat itself up to 500F.

can someone please point me to a 12hr long cloud chamber video or channel. I visited the Vancouver Science Centre and recorded theirs, but I simply MUST have MOAR. #sciart #telusworldofscience #cloudchamber #alphaparticle #betaparticle #cosmicrays #radiography #iamanerd #ifuckinglovescience
