Irene Joliet-Curie and her husband Frédéric both were French scientists who shared winning the Nobel Prize award in chemistry in 1935 for artificially synthesizing a radioactive isotope of phosphorus by bombarding aluminum with alpha particles. 30P (15 protons/elections) was the first radioactive nuclide obtained through this method of artificially inducing radioactivity.

Artificially Induced Radioactivity TodayBefore this discovery of artificial induction of radioactivity, it was a common belief that atoms of matter are unchangeble and indivisible. After the very first discoveries made by Ernest Rutherford, Irene Joliot-Curie and her husband, Frederic Joliot, a new point of view was developed. The point of view that although atoms appear to be stable, they can be transformed into new atoms with different chemical properties. Today over one thousand artificially created radioactive nuclides exist, which considerably outnumber the nonradioactive ones created. Activation by neutron captureActivation (or radioactivation) involves making a radioactive isotope by neutron capture, e.g. the addition of a neutron to a nuclide resulting in an increase in isotope number by 1 while retaining the same atomic number. Activation is often an inadvertant process occuring inside or near a nuclear reactor, where there are many neutrons flying around. For example, Cobalt-59 has a large neutron capture cross-section, making it likely that Co-59 in or near a nuclear reactor will capture a neutron forming the radioactive isotope Co-60. To avoid this inadvertant activation, the use of cobalt in or near reactors is minimized to the extent it is practical. Light water coolant in nuclear reactors inevitably contain traces of impurities which inadvertantly become neutron-activated making the primary water coolant radioactive. In boiling water reactors (BWR), the radioactive water/steam contaminates the inside of the steam turbine with radioactivity. Maintenance in a BWR steam turbine requires radiological controls to avoid contamination of the maintenance personnel.
Frédéric Joliot and Irène Curie discovered induced radioactivity by bombarding aluminum with alpha particles, resulting in the creation of a radioactive isotope of phosphorus. Their work demonstrated that stable elements could be made radioactive through nuclear reactions, contributing significantly to the field of nuclear chemistry. This discovery laid the foundation for advancements in nuclear science and the understanding of nuclear reactions.
The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 was awarded to Enrico Fermi for his work on induced radioactivity.
Enrico Fermi won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 for his work on induced radioactivity, where he discovered that materials could become radioactive when bombarded with neutrons. This discovery laid the foundation for the development of nuclear reactors and the atomic bomb.
Radiation refers to the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles, while radioactivity is the property of certain elements to spontaneously emit radiation. Not all radiation is radioactive, but all radioactivity involves radiation.
No, induced voltage and induced current are not the same. Induced voltage refers to the electromotive force that causes a current to flow in a conductor, whereas induced current is the flow of electric charge in response to the induced voltage. The relationship between induced voltage and induced current is governed by Ohm's Law.
Both the lock and key model and induced fit model are mechanisms used to describe enzyme-substrate interactions. Both models explain how enzymes bind to substrates to facilitate chemical reactions. They both highlight the specificity of enzyme-substrate interactions.

Radioactivity can be induced in ordinary matter by artificial transmutation.
By bombarding aluminum with alpha particles, this pair was able to change some of the Al-27 nuclei into P-30 nuclei.

"Artificial transmutation" is a nuclear reaction induced in laboratory, its man made. Artificial radioactivity is a radioactive disintegration phenomenon supported by artificial isotopes.
All radioactivity whether natural or induced through man made activities is a nuclear process, because it involves changes in the nuclei of the atoms of the active material. This is true of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Trip is a word used to describe the psychedelic experience induced by hallucinogen drugs.
Einstein introduces A and B coefficients to describe spontaneous emission and induced absorption and emission.

Induced spawning is a breeding technique used to stimulate fish to release eggs and sperm in a controlled environment, typically through the use of hormones or environmental conditions. This method is commonly used in aquaculture to synchronize the reproduction of fish species and enhance breeding success rates.
