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.

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: ...

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, ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Flux Isotope Reactor operates under strict safety standards with skilled teams who ...

The past October marked an exciting time for those in the field of isotopic science. Two brand new approaches to isolate and enrich light elements have been reported. Although a variety of elements ...

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 ...

Testing has been completed of a device for carrying out irradiation tests of various radioisotopes - such as yttrium-90 - at the two pressurised heavy water reactors that make up Phase III of the ...

Nuclear physics is a mature science with strong connections to both fundamental physics and nuclear astrophysics, namely the origin of the chemical elements 1,2. Nuclear physics is over 100 years old, ...

With five more protons than should be stable, the newly discovered nitrogen-9 isotope sits right on the borderline of physical possibility. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The International Standards Organization has put its stamp of approval on 18 nuclear analytical chemistry methods at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These testing and ...

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 ...
