Cyclotron

Or any other chemist, for that matter.

Glenn Seaborg, Ralph James, and Albert Giorso worked out of the University of California Berkeley lab, where they operated the Cyclotron, a room-sized particle accelerator capable of performing nuclear alchemy.

With this device, they shot alpha particles at 13% the speed of light toward a sample of plutonium, itself only recently discovered by the same team.

This irradiated material was then sent to the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory, an industrial-grade facility at an academic institution, where the work continued with a supergroup of scientists, including episodic table alums like Enrico Fermi, James Frank, and Luis Alvarez.

Honestly, may as well.

[laughs] The Darian Mensah Center for Cyclotron or whatever the hell they got at State.

The Cyclotron.

[laughs]

[laughs] Why, what else is there? What's the kid from Oregon State, the wide receiver? The kid from Baltimore.
