Kenneth Ross MacKenzie (June 15, 1912 – July 3, 2002) was an American nuclear physicist. Together with Dale R. Corson and Emilio Segrè , he synthesized the element astatine , in 1940. MacKenzie received his PhD under Ernest Lawrence at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory .
Corson, Kenneth Ross MacKenzie, and Segrè discovered and isolated the element in 1940. They named it "astatine" in 1947. [2] In 1946 Corson came to Cornell University as an assistant professor of physics and helped design the Cornell synchrotron. He was appointed associate professor of physics in 1947, became a full professor in 1956, was ...
Astatine is a chemical element; it has symbol At and atomic number 85. It is the rarest naturally occurring element in the Earth's crust, ... Kenneth Ross MacKenzie, ...
Astatine was first produced by Dale R. Corson, Kenneth Ross MacKenzie, and Emilio Segrè in the University of California, Berkeley in 1940. Three years later, it was found in nature; however, with an estimated amount of less than 28 grams (1 oz) at given time, astatine is the least abundant element in Earth's crust among non-transuranium elements.
Segrè then asked whether he could do the chemistry and, with Kenneth Ross MacKenzie, successfully isolated the new element, which is today called astatine. [31] [32] [33] Segrè and Wu then attempted to find the last remaining missing non-transuranic element, element 61.
