An international team of physicists with the BigRIPS experiment taking place at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory in Japan has determined the dripline for fluorine and neon isotopes. In their ...

Dripline: how many neutrons can you pack into a nucleus? (Courtesy: iStock/Altayb) The maximum number of neutrons that can be packed into fluorine and neon isotopes have been determined by nuclear ...

The Earth formed relatively quickly from the cloud of dust and gas around the Sun, trapping water and gases in the planet's mantle, based on neon isotopes from the depths of the Earth and deep space.

Using a newly developed technique, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in Heidelberg have measured the very small difference in the magnetic properties of two isotopes of ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

Before noble gas analysis, the samples were removed from the carbon tape and cleaned in high purity (Fisher Optima) acetone, isopropanol and water. After drying, the grains were pressed into annealed ...

Examples of stable isotopes being used to support research include, studying water extraction methods from plants, to how habitat changes have incited more attacks by coyotes on humans. Stable ...

The Earth formed relatively quickly from the cloud of dust and gas around the Sun, trapping water and gases in the planet's mantle, according to research published Dec. 5 in the journal Nature. Apart ...

Artist's impression of planets forming around a young star. New, very precise measurements of krypton isotopes from deep in the Earth show that water, carbon and other volatile materials were ...
