An extraordinary discovery has recently shaken the world of science. An uncommon isotope, previously unknown to our realm of understanding, has been found within an ancient rock. The properties of ...

Scientists cheered another indication that the Atomic Age was starting to roll. After long delay and soul-searching, the Manhattan District this week agreed to supply qualified customers with about ...

The U.S. Department of Energy is investing an additional $527 million into a cutting-edge isotopes research facility at Michigan State University, where scientific breakthroughs are coming ever more ...

In a world filled with trillions upon trillions of atoms, spotting a handful that barely exist sounds almost impossible. Atoms of argon-42 (⁴²Ar), one of the rarest isotopes in Earth’s atmosphere, ...

Scientists have demonstrated that small changes in the isotopic content of thin semiconductor materials can influence their optical and electronic properties, possibly opening the way to new and ...

Stable isotope analysis has become a cornerstone of archaeological science, offering direct insights into past diets, mobility and environmental interactions. By measuring the ratios of heavy to light ...

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 ...

New study demonstrates that the direction of a magnetic field can influence how slightly different versions of the same ...
