     • At the Met Lab, Ghiorso developed instruments for detecting radiation associated with nuclear decay and spontaneous fission. This led to his and Seaborg’s 1944 discovery of two new elements: 95 (americium) and 96 (curium) by irradiating plutonium.

   How did Ghiorso discover a new element?

   • This led to his and Seaborg’s 1944 discovery of two new elements: 95 (americium) and 96 (curium) by irradiating plutonium. After the war, Ghiorso returned to Berkeley Lab, where he developed new detectors to isolate and characterize elements.

   Why was Ghiorso important?

   • Over approximately 30 years, Ghiorso participated in and led groups that discovered dozens of new isotopes in addition to 12 new elements. That work was central to proving the correctness of Seaborg’s revision of the periodic table and to extending the limits of nuclear stability at the top of the chart of nuclides.

   How did Albert Ghiorso contribute to nuclear research?

   • The Bevalac opened two new research fields: relativistic heavy-ion collisions and radiation therapy with ion beams. Ghiorso published more than 160 papers in nuclear science, most in Physical Review. Albert Ghiorso became a legend and a metaphor for inspired nuclear research.

   What did Ghiorso do after WW2?

   • After the war, Ghiorso returned to Berkeley Lab, where he developed new detectors to isolate and characterize elements. Using the 60-inch Crocker cyclotron, he and Seaborg were able to produce elements of increasing atomic number through helium bombardment.
