Martin Kamen and Sam Ruben discovered carbon-14 in 1940 while conducting experiments at the University of California, Berkeley. They produced carbon-14 by bombarding nitrogen with neutrons in a cyclotron, resulting in a radioactive isotope of carbon. This discovery was significant for radiocarbon dating, allowing scientists to determine the age of organic materials. Their work laid the foundation for advancements in Archaeology and environmental science.
