For the first time, a research team from the University of Cologne has observed the electron capture decay of technetium-98, ...
Researchers using the KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS) in Japan have created a new isotope of uranium with 149 neutrons to go along with the element’s 92 protons (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2023, DOI: ...
Scientists have measured the half-lives of five never-before-seen isotopes in a first demonstration of a research facility that will help probe the nuclear structures of elements (Phys. Rev. Lett.
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 ...
Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not ...
When it comes to discovering nuclear isotopes, retired physicist Gottfried Münzenberg is top, with 222. His colleague Hans Geissel, from the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, ...
Researchers have come one step closer to understanding unstable atomic nuclei. Scientists have now provided evidence for a new nuclear magic number in the unstable, radioactive calcium isotope 54Ca.
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Mass-independent isotope fractionations driven by differences in volumes and shapes of nuclei (the field shift effect) are known in several ...
Neutron generators are a type of nuclear fusion device that can produce a stream of neutrons through merging hydrogen atoms. Because of the intrinsic nature of neutrons — heavy yet electrically ...
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new technology for measuring how radiation damages DNA molecules. This novel technique, which passes DNA ...
Darleane C. Hoffman, a trailblazing nuclear chemist who was hailed by Discover magazine as one of the 50 most important women in science and whose research confirmed the existence of several elusive ...
