Hope all of you are doing well. Some of you may have heard about the NASA announcement about the Mono Lake bug that can substitute arsenic for phosphorus in...
It is good to know that at least some bugs have backbones. NASA is now in a business to make some people feel good about themselves. Space exploration is their...
Still, it is interesting that this works at all. We have good numbers of substitutions that will work in terms of metals in metalloenzymes, alkali and alkaline...
Did they call it "new periodic table"? It is not new. Its layout is at least 105 years old. It is representative of inertia in science. All they did, updated...
Happy 2011! I've been delving a bit again into nuclear magic, and have come up with a number of new things, some of which I'll post later. For now, I just want...
Jess, I would like to add that Fe, that forms group with Ru, Os and Hs, although not quite magic, has extremely stable nucleus and serves as the border line...
Yes, 54 is Xe. I've jumbled elements symbols vs. at.no.'s more than once. Like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey, 'my mind is going'. Please stop pulling memory...
By the way, Larry, good catch on the group membership. I hadn't any inkling when I first posted. I'm still examining proton and neutron counts in stable nuclei...
So, I've desperately been wracking my brains trying to work out a system for the higher Fib-like series within the periodic system, trying this and that, every...
Great observation, Jess. Just want to clarify that Jess is referring not to the Atomic Numbers, but to the "Distances" from the ends of the periods of Janet's...
I know that for myself, having the reference already to tetrahedral numbers and the Phi-convergent series helped prime me to look for or notice such patterns...
Hi, The Periodic System of the Elements and Periodic Tables based on it are still the base for research and systematization. That this is relevant is my New...
Classification of minerals, plants and animals predates the classification of the chemical elements by 100 years or so. Idea of classification of chemical...
Hi Jess The following is a little off topic however I hope it is of interest to the group. The speed of light in a vacuum (c) is unique, it is assumed to be...
Who can say what is still yet to be discovered? The other day people announced a more precise value for the Hubble expansion of the universe- 73.8 (+/-2.4)...
The nuclear shell filling pattern can be idealized as blocks somewhat analogous to what is seen in the electronic system, but organized differently. Thus...
This is the Leftmost-Leftmost system, which is that of most of the magic numbers that we usually think of in the nuclear system: 258- 184= 74= 72+2 184- 126=...
Hi Jess. I am a little off topic again. The Einstein Field Equation (EFE) may be simplified. A tensor may be substituted by a ratio of stress and a scalar may...
Rationalization of double triangular number differences between idealized orbital filling benchmark numbers: Level 0 [__0 diff.2 Level 1 [__2___0 diff 6 Level...

I have a good news to report regarding ADOMAH Periodic Table. 35,000 copies in English and French. Please, see email below from publisher. Best Regards, Valery...
Ok, been working on more atomic relations. On the Wiki page for the Fine Structure Constant ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure_constant ) one finds...
http://news.yahoo.com/huge-rare-earth-deposits-found-pacific-report-000045557.html Guess China ain't gonna corner the market after all... Jess Tauber ...
Wow, that's quite a news story! It's amazing to me that just about everything about it is positive. Not so much for poor China though as you point out. It also...
Hi Jess Sorry I have not joined you for a while. I had a stroke a few months ago, however I am recovering now. The following is a little off topic however I...
Hoping for a speedy healthy outcome. I've had some neurological issues myself, mostly having to do with hearing and vision, but nothing permanent so far....
