Physicists have found a new “island of inversion” in the nucleus of molybdenum-84, a perfectly balanced atom with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. The discovery upends a decades-old assumption ...

New research published in Science Advances, led by Yuan Yang, associate professor of materials science at Columbia Engineering, and collaborators at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, demonstrates a ...

At a large, new facility on Michigan State University's campus, the boundaries of nuclear science are being taken further than they've ever gone before. And scientists from around the world are lining ...

A prehistoric Equisetum horsetail plant that survived 400 million years produces oxygen isotopes and water with an extreme chemical signature ...

There are two fundamental ways to identify isotopic labels. The most direct method is mass spectrometry, in which a material is broken down into individual atoms or molecules, given electrical charge, ...

ORNL’s tandem technologies detect fluorine and isotopes of uranium at the same time to discern the fingerprint of a nuclear material made for fuel or weaponry. Combining two techniques, analytical ...

In May 2016, close to the northern border of Switzerland, radiochemist Zeynep Talip suited up for the hot laboratory (Hotlab) at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), where experiments with radioactive ...

A new study has uncovered how tiny differences in boron atoms can help scientists better predict the long-term behavior of glass used to store hazardous waste. The findings, published in Environmental ...
