The nucleus of each atom contains protons and neutrons. While the number of protons defines the element (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, etc.) and the sum of the protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, ...

Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such ...

So Jarrott and his Focused Energy colleague Jacob Peterson decided to set off on their own, founding Hexium with an eye toward solving fusion’s future fuel problems.

Isotope hydrology helps governments find and understand the source of their water supplies – so they can develop management systems to reduce the risks of conflict and build resilience to drought.

If an atom has a magic number of both protons and neutrons, it has the very scientific sounding name of being ‘doubly magic.’ ...

According to a study published in Nature Physics, a TU Darmstadt-led research team at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion ...

In heavy water, each hydrogen atom is indeed heavier, with a neutron as well as a proton in its nucleus. This isotope of hydrogen is called deuterium, and heavy water's more scientific name is ...

The application of Stable Isotopes measurements can be used to integrate, indicate, record and trace fundamental ecological processes. Rapid technological advances over the past decade have greatly ...

Oxygen, for example, has eight protons. However, the number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different forms of ...

The Center for Isotope Geochemistry is a world-class facility for high-precision analysis of both radiogenic and stable isotopes on a wide range of materials. The Center is spread over two ...

Community-weighted mean foliar stable carbon isotope signatures are mainly affected by environmental factors in meadow and typical steppes, and by leaf traits in desert steppes, according to field ...

This Section implements all activities of the IAEA's Water Resources Programme, which promotes and transfers know-how on the use of isotope hydrology as an effective tool for water resources ...
