In 1977... scientists discovered that by boosting ions to high energy in an accelerator, particle identification techniques could be used to identify the carbon-14. They called this new method accelerator mass spectrometry(AMS). 1, record 1, English, - accelerator%20mass%20spectrometry

La spectrométrie de masse avec accélérateur constitue un perfectionnement assez récent des techniques classiques de spectroscopie. Elle est notamment utilisée en archéologie pour des datations au carbone 14, car elle est applicable sur de très petites quantités d'échantillons. Là où il faudrait un prélèvement de 1 à 2 grammes de matière pour obtenir un signal par la méthode classique de comptage de particules bêta, l'AMS permet de n'en utiliser que quelques milligrammes. 5, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A9trie%20de%20masse%20par%20acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9rateur

Le mal des montagnes se manifeste quelques heures après l'arrivée en altitude. Les symptômes sont souvent limités à des maux de tête, des nausées, des vomissements, des bourdonnements d'oreilles, des palpitations, des vertiges et une lassitude. La nuit, des insomnies peuvent survenir. 1, record 2, French, - mal%20des%20montagnes
