Résumé
This paper presents a framework for the study of George Hevesy’s research in
the 1910s by distinguishing two styles of radioactivity research: the analytical (as practices
in Manchester and Vienna in some extent) and the natural historical styles (as practiced in
Hungary). Georg Hevesy’s approach combined the two types. Indeed, by studying Hevesy’s
research in context, I show that the earliest applications of isotopes were born in parallel with
the establishment of the isotope theory of matter.
