A bottle of Radithor at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in New Mexico, United States. Radithor was a patent medicine that is a well-known example of radioactive quackery. It consisted of triple-distilled water containing at a minimum 1 microcurie (37 kBq) each of the radium-226 and 228 isotopes.
Radium (88 Ra) has no stable or nearly stable isotopes, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. The longest lived, and most common, isotope of radium is 226 Ra with a half-life of 1600 years. 226 Ra occurs in the decay chain of 238 U (often referred to as the radium series). Radium has 34 known isotopes from 201 Ra to 234 Ra.
Radioactive isotope table "lists ALL radioactive nuclei with a half-life greater than 1000 years", incorporated in the list above. The NUBASE2020 evaluation of nuclear physics properties F.G. Kondev et al. 2021 Chinese Phys. C 45 030001. The PDF of this article lists the half-lives of all known radioactives nuclides.
Tho-radia" powder, based on radium and thorium, according to the formula of Dr. Alfred Curie (not related to Pierre and Marie Curie) A Borjomi mineral water ad from 1929, advertising the water as "radioactive". The water is still popular today, but said property is no longer emphasized.
Radiochemistry is the chemistry of radioactive materials, where radioactive isotopes of elements are used to study the properties and chemical reactions of non-radioactive isotopes (often within radiochemistry the absence of radioactivity leads to a substance being described as being inactive as the isotopes are stable).
“I mean, of course, I’d like to look good with my shirt off, but we all would." Explained Grimes, "If I go a couple weeks without working out, I start to get real dark. So I have to — I just ...
Radithor was advertised as "A Cure for the Living Dead" as well as "Perpetual Sunshine". [6] Radithor was a chronically lethal mixture, and was responsible for the death of Eben Byers in 1932, who died of radiation-induced cancer after drinking about 1,400 bottles of Radithor. [6] [7] Bailey also invented the Radiendocrinator around 1930.
NAD supplements are the latest health trend to explode on TikTok, where people claim the supplements can help boost metabolism, improve cognition, and slow or even reverse aging.
