Earn your Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) while you workâno matter where you live. All eight of the Indiana University School of Nursing campuses across the state of Indiana joined to create the RN to BSN Degree Completion Option. This means that nursing courses are distance accessible, using Web-based and video technologies rather than requiring you to come to campus.
Radioactive materials used in medicine: radionuclides and radioactive isotopes. A radionuclide is any type of radioactive material, including elements and the isotopes of elements. An isotope of an element is a particular atomic version of it. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different atomic structures.
And there are some minerals that will glow when they are struck or crushed; this is called triboluminescence. The fluorescent minerals are those that emit visible light when activated by invisible ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays and/or electron beams. Certain electrons in the mineral absorb the energy from these sources and jump to a higher energy state. The fluorescent light is emitted when those electrons drop down to a lower energy state and emit a light of their own.
