Moseley landmark
Royal Society of Chemistry recognises importance of x-ray studies done by Henry Moseley at Oxford University site
The pioneering studies on the frequencies of x-rays emitted from elements done by physicist Henry Moseley has been awarded a Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) National Chemical Landmark. Dr John Hood, vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford, unveiled a commemorative plaque at a ceremony in September at the university's Clarendon Laboratory. The award is the 21st to be made as part of the RSC's programme to recognise major achievements in the chemical sciences and bring them to the attention of the public. In an opening address to the day's celebration, Professor Roger Davies, chairman of physics at Oxford University, noted that the presentation of a chemical award to a physicist working in a physics laboratory reflected that 'excellent research transcends traditional subject boundaries'.
