Abstract
Seventy years after its discovery by W.B.F. Libby and collaborators (Arnold and Libby in Science 110:678–680, 1949; Libby in Radiocarbon dating. The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 124 p., 1952), the radiocarbon (14C) method of dating is still of great interest in many scientific fields in biology, earth science, climate, environment and archeology. Libby received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1960 and the chairman of the Nobel Committee highlighted the importance of this discovery in these terms: “Seldom has a single discovery in chemistry had such an impact on the thinking of so many fields of human endeavor. Seldom has a single discovery generated such wide public interest”.
