Professor Emeritus John R. Huizenga publishes Five Decades of Research in Nuclear Science
The University of Rochester and the Departments of Chemistry and Physics are pleased to announce that John R. Huizenga’s research memoir entitled Five Decades of Research in Nuclear Science has recently been published by Meliora Press.
A summary of more than forty years of work in the field, Five Decades of Research in Nuclear Science delves into the results of several projects in which John R. Huizenga played a key role. What began as a journey into a largely unexplored region of the periodic table, rightly predicted to be a rich and fertile source of new chemical and nuclear information, quickly developed into a race for the discovery of new elements. The volume follows Prof. Huizenga’s distinguished research, teaching and leadership career in the field of nuclear science, carried out during the last half of the twentieth century at Argonne National Laboratory and subsequently...(more)
