Utilizing a novel tracer approach combining magnesium (Mg) and boron (B) isotopes, the team demonstrated the advantages of these isotopes in tracing arc magma formation. Their findings unveiled a ...

Magnesium isotope geochemistry is an important field of study that helps scientists understand weathering processes and their implications for the environment. Weathering, the process by which ...

We have now been able to bombard separated isotopes, and the accompanying graph shows the proton groups observed from targets of magnesium-24, -25 and -26 deposited on stainless steel. The ...

In a phenomenon known as the island of inversion, isotopes of neon, sodium, and magnesium with 20 neutrons also show a lack of nuclear shell closure. In the case of oxygen-28, the scientists ...
