We’re much more familiar with radioactive elements like uranium and plutonium-these are the wild teenagers of radioactive elements, constantly hurling off particles. Depending on their makeup, some will stabilize themselves by releasing subatomic particles and turning into an atom of a different element-a process called radioactive decay. The results from the XENON1T experiment, co-authored by University of Chicago scientists and published April 25 in the journal Nature, document the longest half-life in the universe-and may be able to help scientists hunt for another mysterious process that is one of particle physics’ great mysteries. Along the way, however, the detector caught another scientific unicorn: the decay of atoms of xenon-124-the rarest process ever observed in the universe. ↑ Half-Life: Alyx Developer Commentary, Sean Vanaman.Deep under an Italian mountainside, a giant detector filled with tons of liquid xenon has been looking for dark matter-particles of a mysterious substance whose effects we can see in the universe, but which no one has ever directly observed.She may be also based off of the Administrator in appearance, a character in the Team Fortress 2 universe, another game made by Valve. Her design resembles Helena Mossman from the Half-Life 2 Beta.Her model is completely untextured except for the hair, but textures for her can be found and applied to the model.With applied textures.She is only referred to as "scientist" in the game files and the credits. This decision came somewhat late in the process where it was important to know what a brand new character would sound like, so the writers chose to base the Scientist on actor Kim Dickens (who, luckily, they were able to cast): they felt Dickens had an easy, in-command confidence and smooth Missouri drawl that would work well in the game and set the Scientist apart from other characters in the series.

The writers decided to add another character who by saying Gordon Freeman's name would grab the player's attention and propel the story to the final act, making the player think they now had a new mission to free Gordon Freeman from stasis. The Scientist was originally created purely as the solution to the problem of players figuring out the identity of the prisoner in the Vault long before actually getting there. She reminds the Combine who the Vault contains (whom Alyx, Russell, and Eli Vance assume to be Gordon Freeman), and that Alyx will stop at nothing to release whatever it is. Venturing inside, she overhears a conversation between the Scientist and a Combine Advisor, where the Scientist expresses her frustration at their inability to move the Vault so Alyx cannot get to it. While traveling through the Quarantine Zone to get to the Vault, Alyx notices an apartment in a nearby building that appears to be occupied. She also knows just how powerful Alyx Vance is and unlike her apparent subordinates knows better than to let Alyx near the Vault. She also clearly has some experience with or knowledge of the G-Man, given her knowledge of his powers and why it is so important for the Combine to contain him in the Vault. She alludes to being her own supervisor, and is happy to talk down to a Combine Advisor with confidence. Very little information is provided on who or even what the Scientist is, although it is implied that while she works for the Combine she does not answer to them as Wallace Breen does. We finally caught him and you're going to let him go again? MOVE THE BOX." ―The Unnamed Scientist He raised holy hell and then just disappeared. What in the history of today's makes you think you're gonna stop her? Look, this guy we've got in there survived Black Mesa. Look, if it's still here when she gets there, he's gone. We need to move the box or this thing is going to be Black Mesa all over again. Ah, what am I even doing here? I should go. Would that move the needle on this thing? No, that's the point. Well, what about if I went and got MY supervisor. And just to remind you, the thing I need to talk to your boss about is how we're running out of time. How is this taking so long? Oh, no, it's fine. You took over the entire planet in seven hours. Why can't you do it? Well, then who is authorized? Okay. " I'm not kidding around, you need to move it now.
