Summary
[edit]
| Description | The delicate quartz balance in the image above is one of the most important pieces of apparatus used in UCL's research on radon around the turn of the 20th century (a period in which most of the noble gases were discovered at the university). It was used by UCL chemist Robert Whytlaw-Gray to weigh a sample of radon and determine its density for the first time. Photo: O. Usher (UCL MAPS) |
