This study is led by Prof. Shou-Hang Bo (Global Institute of Future Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University) and Prof. Jun Cheng (College of Chemistry and Chemical ...

Zinc (Zn) isotope fractionation by the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (a Tasman Sea isolate) was investigated by culturing it across a range of free Zn2+ ion concentrations (1.2 pmol L−1 to 3.2 ...

Solid state batteries are still not very fast and powerful. One reason is that Lithium ions may find it difficult to cross the solid electrolyte separator. Now a study with neutrons shows for the ...

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.

Nuclear power could solve our energy problems but it has rather nasty by-products: radioactive waste. Not only the disposal of the old core rods but also reactor operation results in a large amount of ...

Known as “islands of inversion,” these odd regions are found among a sea of normal nuclei. Now, a new island may have been ...

Scientists have developed a new simple, inexpensive and fast method to analyze sulfur isotopes, which can be used to help investigate chemical changes in environments such as oceans, and freshwater ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun, has the potential to generate clean and abundant energy. However, it requires two atomic nuclei to collide head-on at high energies, and current fusion ...
