Boron, the fifth element in the periodic table of elements is a non-metal and like its neighbor carbon and its diagonal relative silicon, shows a marked propensity to form covalent molecular compounds but it differs sharply from them in having one less valence electron than the number of valenc...
THE Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, has recently produced a number of separated stable isotopes in milligram quantities. The availability of such isotopes has already enabled new nuclear reactions to be discovered, and old ones to be confirmed. In this and a later communication we ...

One of the difficulties in dealing with cosmic rays, which are mostly high energy protons, is that some secondary radiation from interaction of cosmic rays and spacecraft materials is high energy spallation neutrons. Such neutrons can be moderated by materials high in light elements such as ...
of 1. In the 1H NMR spectrum, a peak for the methyl groups on two nitrogen atoms was observed at d ¼ 2.90 p.p.m., and two signals for the CH protons of the imidazole ring moieties appeared at d ¼ 6.07 and 7.40 p.p.m. These data indicate the highly symmetric nature of the...
to make atomic models is to use Styrofoam balls and wooden pegs, using the balls to represent the subatomic particles that make up the atomic nucleus. Boron has an atomic number of 5 and therefore is composed of five protons. Most of the naturally-occurring Boron on Earth has six neutrons....
The present invention relates to detecting thermal neutrons and fast neutrons by inclusion of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). BACKGROUND Introduction Thermal neutron detectors usually employ materials with 10B (boron with 10 nucleons, i.e. 5 protons and 5 neutrons) or 3He (2 protons and 1 ne...
Three of these accelerators currently are being evaluated in Phase II clinical trials in Japan to assess their safety and efficacy. The fourth one, manufactured by Neutron Therapeutics, produces neutrons from a 7Li target with 2.6 MeV protons at 30 mA current. It will enter into clinical use ...
Of note, in the above examples, the in situ formed benzylic radicals should be reduced to carbanions in the last step, which therefore further trapped protons to render the final products. Instead of proton, the benzylic carbanion could serve as nucleophiles to react with various electrophiles to...
