• There's a kind of poetic aspect to inert gas. And remember, first of all, they were completely unknown a hundred years earlier. We just didn't know about them. And then when they were discovered in the atmosphere, the idea that this is a material that would breathe in and exhale and becomes part of us for a while made it even more intriguing. The names, the Greek names, are interesting, too - if you translate neon, xenon and so forth are kind of interesting.

• O. Hahn y F. Strassmann han descubierto un nuevo tipo de reacción nuclear, la división en dos núcleos más pequeños de los núcleos de uranio y torio bajo el bombardeo de neutrones. Así demostraron la producción de núcleos de bario, lantano, estroncio, itrio y, más recientemente, de xenón y cesio. Se puede demostrar mediante consideraciones sencillas que este tipo de reacción nuclear puede describirse de forma esencialmente clásica como la fisión de una gota líquida, y que los productos de fisión deben volar separados con energías cinéticas del orden de cientos de millones de electronvoltios cada uno.
