[element-tournament]

FINALS

CARBON:

Forms the basis of all life

What diamonds, coal, and pencil lead are made of

Used to make graphene, one of the strongest materials (one atom of thickness is 200x stronger than steel)

SILICON:

Not to be confused with Silicone

Could potentially be used to make life instead of carbon

Used in a lot of electronics, hence the name of silicon valley

ARGON:

Has a distinctive purple glow

used in neon signs

often mistaken as a pirate's favorite element

POTASSIUM:

Found in high quantity in bananas

burning it produces a light purple or red flame

the first metal to be discovered by electrolysis

STRONTIUM:

Used in cancer treatment

Used in toothpaste

The most accurate atomic clock (to one second in the 200 million years) uses strontium atoms

FLOURINE:

the most receptive and most electronegative of all the chemical elements

oxygen, helium, neon, and argon are the only elements fluorine can't react with

the only element that can react with noble gases, specifically xenon, krypton, and radon

BISMUTH:

the most diamagnetic metal (meaning it gets repelled by magnets instead of attracted)

Known for its unique shape and colorful style

PROMETHIUM:

the last lanthanoid to be discovered

PLUTONIUM:

Named after the dwarf planet Pluto

Was once thought to have been discovered by Enrico Fermi along with element 93, but he was actually mistaken. He named it Hesperium.

An unnaturally poor conductor of electricity

Used to make atomic bombs, even more powerful than uranium

Known by some as the "forbidden gummy"

COBALT:

Turns a vibrant blue when heated to extreme temperatures

Named after kobolds, who are "mythical, death-dealing goblins" (not the lizard kobold)

One of only three elements that are ferromagnetic at room temperature

Novel silica-based adsorbent helps selective separation of strontium

Prof. Huang Qunying's team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Ning Shunyan's team from South China University, developed a novel silica-based adsorbent for the highly selective separation of strontium (Sr) from an acidic medium. The results were published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials. Radioactive strontium, known as 90Sr, is of concern because it's highly toxic both radiologically and biochemically. When high-level liquid waste (HLLW) is processed through vitrification, the heat released from the decay of 90Sr can cause problems. This heat can destabilize the material in which it's contained, potentially leading to the release of other radioactive substances. However, 90Sr can also be reused as a special radioactive or heat source, which can help reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of with lower overall costs.

Short X-ray pulses reveal source of light-induced ferroelectricity in SrTiO₃

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg, Germany and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States have gained new insights into the development of the light-induced ferroelectric state in SrTiO3. They exposed the material to mid-infrared and terahertz frequency laser pulses and found that the fluctuations of its atomic positions are reduced under these conditions. This may explain the emergence of a more ordered dipolar structure than in equilibrium and of a ferroelectric state when the material is excited with laser pulses. Mid-infrared and terahertz frequency laser pulses are powerful tools to manipulate the properties of quantum materials through tailored modifications of their crystal structure. Light-induced ferroelectricity in SrTiO3 is a remarkable demonstration of these physics.
