Reading through the Wizard of Oz books with the kids. There are lots of indicators that they were written in the early 1900’s, but the standout so far has been this little bit about radium. Did not age well. #thewizardofoz #thepatchworkgirlofoz #radium

I’m on a mission from Jen - Part 1
Fannies is always a special place for me, and this time Jen from Cabinet of Curiosities had a special mission for me - to see how radioactive her new cabinet was. So of course, I packed up my RC102 and went on the hunt. #antiques #uraniumglass #radium #fiestaware

I spruced up my two radioactive cabinets - it’s now a real combination of uranium glass, radioactive minerals &radium clocks I’ve collected and various oddball items. And the glow… a uranium hunters dream. Anything take your fancy? #radium #uraniumglass #radioactive #radioactiverocks #rockhounding

Delighted to share the final article in our Selling Beauty special issue by our very own @lucyjanesantos.bsky.social on the marketing of Tho-Radia - a French radium-based beauty product. Read it here:

Lemmy - A decentralised discussion platform for communities

I saw an interesting post on #Lemmy recently pondering if #LLMs are the #radium of our time: this seemingly magical thing that has some legitimate uses but we're putting it in EVERYTHING from children's toys to watches & we'll look back on this decade aghast.

Having found radioactive springs in the Cheviot Hills we explain how and why they formed, right at Carlcroft Burn. We explain why the springs are hot and why Uranium doesn’t make it into the mineral rich fluid.

A yellow background with a nuclear symbol and a green popsicle. Retro-futuristic text displays "Rad-Pops! $29.99" below is "Green Apple" in cursive with small text below displaying "*artificial everything". It is meant to be a parody of the advertising and marketing in the Fallout video game universe.

"Rad-Pops!"

Maybe the biggest #difference between the #orgone accumulator (OrAc) & #orgonite is that OrAcs can be #dismantled when #contaminated by #toxic #radiation as from #radium or high #voltage high frequency alternating current.

OrAcs had to be #buried for a #period of #years after #disassembly.

A product listing photo from the AliExpress international rummage sale and tat bazaar, showing 6 rolls of decorative tape in a variety of metallic colours. Above the rolls is the text "Radium-emitting decorative tape". Given the nature of AliExpress, there is a nonzero chance that this is a literally true item description.

Ooh! Ooh!

Discovery of the element #radium was announced on #ThisDayInHistory by #MarieSkłodowskaCurie and her husband #PierreCurie in 1898. Having removed #uranium from a mineral sample, they first discovered #polonium in July, then radium. These finds earned #MarieCurie a Nobel Prize.

Spectroscopic methods, such as laser fluorescence spectroscopy, can be used to determine the chemical binding form of metal ions to various inorganic and organic substances from Brazil nuts and the body's digestive juices. Image: B. Schröder/HZDR

How healthy are Brazil nuts really: The popular seeds, known as “#selenium bombs”, contain also traces of metals like #barium and #radium. Researchers at #HZDR and #VKTA conducted a study on the amounts of these elements that could enter the body during digestion.

Mini: That Time Humans Loved Radiation This is another exploration of bad idea history. At one point, humans got really into consuming and surrounding themselves with irradiated materials. This idea stands out because the origins can be traced back to a clear starting point and "logic." FYI: Don't consume or put yourself (or anyone else) near radium. We'll explain why.
