Minuscule meteoroids slamming into the lunar surface could be kicking up most of the atoms that make up the lunar exosphere.

A research team led by researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has ...

The CUBES-SIL lab has three magnetic sector, gas-source, isotope ratio mass spectrometers designed to measure the relative abundance of stable isotopes of light elements and molecules. These ...

First developed in the late 1940s at the University of Chicago by Willard Libby, the technique is based on the decay of the carbon-14 isotope. Radiocarbon dating has been used for historical studies ...

Various chemical analyses by the Italian team revealed a new element, which could be extracted by boiling with sodium hydroxide ... even the longest-lived isotope of the element has a half-life ...

At the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, a major advancement has been achieved with the successful acceleration of a ...

So, by measuring the oxygen isotopes of a given planet ... many elements that we are not used to thinking of as gasses - like potassium, zinc, and sodium - can exist as vapor. The concentrations of ...

In the latter case the problematic isotopes are removed via chemical processes as a lot of U-235 fuel remains in these fuel rods. Since Natrium uses sodium as its coolant instead of water (the ...

Shrimpton and colleagues found that selenium isotopes (which are the same element as selenium but have different atomic masses) can be used to determine what's removing this contaminant from water.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) defines uranium as a Low Specific Activity material. In its natural state, it consists of three isotopes (U-234, U-235 and U-238). Other isotopes that ...

Biochemist David Baker — just announced as a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry — turned to the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for information he couldn’t ...

As part of the Hydrogen Isotopes 1,2,3H Research Training Group, a team from Leipzig University and TU Dresden has made a significant advancement in the effective and economical provision of isotopes, ...
