    The California Science Center seems like a wonderful place, filled with exhibits that have many learning opportunities that make it seem like you are not learning, but having fun. I severely regret not going. The California Science Center is located south of downtown Los Angeles, in the historic Exposition Park, near USC (yeah!). Cost of admission is $10.00 (well that’s for parking, other than that, to get in is a donation), which is quite a paltry sum of money, seeing as you seem to get hours upon hours of fun. The days and hours of operation for the California Science Center are everyday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In order to become a California Science Center member, one must call (213) 744-7504 to purchase a Membership, or visit the Membership Information Desk at the Science Center. If you become a member, you become, as stated by the California Science Center website, “part of a dynamic, innovative community dedicated to our mission to stimulate curiosity and inspire science learning in everyone by creating fun, memorable experiences.” If you do not want to pay to be part of a wonderful organization, you can volunteer by turning in an application either by e-mail, fax, or by sending a letter to the Department of Volunteer Resources. In order to volunteer, however, you must be at least 16 years of age. Looking at the application, I believe that all elements that you are to put down are viable, and I would not change a thing.…

    Between growing threats of Nazi and Fascist power, the fear of axis controlled nuclear weapons was among the greatest. The Manhattan Project was the allied effort joining scientists, military engineers, and dedicated American workers. Before the U.S’s involvement in the war, American scientists and government spies suspected Nazi scientists were experimenting with nuclear fission and weaponization of it. There were also a few major breakthroughs concerning nuclear energy and the delivery method that set us apart from any other group researching the topic.…

    So where do I start first; with the history of Argonne of course. It all started with World War II when the United States went to war with Germany. The government wanted to start making atomic bombs so they started it at the University of Chicago It was called the Manhattan Project. It was led by scientist Robert Oppenheimer. After they started taking the rods out of the reactor they moved it out of Chicago to under the Stagg football field then later the government bought property in Lemont and placed the lab there which is now known as Argonne National Lab. It currently has six major scientific fields that do research. It has Advanced Photon Source, Computing, Tandem Linac Accelerator System, Nanoscale Materials, Electron Microscopy Center, Transportation Research, and Analysis Computing Center. These fields are advancing science and technology, and the world we live in.…

    Not even a decade ago, our society spent years of studies in order to develop advancements in new technologies or inventions and it punctuated intervals of time in which to absorb and adapt to the change. However, in modern society, the pace of developing “the next big thing” significantly increased. Unlike the past, our modern world required shorter intervals to adapt due to our historical developments. However, there is one subject that required adaptation among our ‘big things’: Nuclear Research. The very first nuclear project in United States began in mid-1900s in order to defend our homeland and react again upcoming military threat from hostile countries in World War II. Although nuclear research in United States was started to prepare for World War II, United States has continued its research to today. However, nuclear power has had great aspect of change in our society: science, technology, economics, health care, education, politics, government, communications, travel, international relations, cultural and social trends, and other areas of society and culture.…

    Nuclear engineering is the practical application of the breakdown of atomic nuclei and/or other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics. It includes, but is not limited to, the interaction and maintenance of nuclear fission systems and components— specifically, nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants, and/or nuclear weapons. The field may also include the study of nuclear fusion, medical and other applications of (generally ionizing) radiation, nuclear safety, heat/thermodynamics transport, nuclear fuel and/or other related (e.g., waste disposal) technology, nuclear proliferation, and the effect of radioactive waste or radioactivity in the environment.…
