Scientists have found a clever way to trace water as it moves through the atmosphere, using something most of us probably don ...

Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and sometimes these atoms are slightly heavier than usual. These heavier forms are ...

Ancient enzymes show life’s nitrogen signal stayed unchanged for billions of years, helping scientists read early Earth.

The strongest force in the Universe is the one that holds together the protons and neutrons in an atom’s nucleus. To unlock how elements are forged, the physics of neutron stars and more, scientists ...

Triple oxygen isotope research has emerged as a powerful tool to enhance our understanding of hydrological processes and past climate variability. By simultaneously analysing δ18O, δ17O, and the ...

Göttingen University researchers analysed oxygen isotopes from corals, like this Acropora coral, to expand the uses of the “triple oxygen isotope” method and help measure temperatures from the past ...

A team of researchers says oxygen isotopes found in rock types contain the oldest geochemical record of the Earth. A collective understanding of five different data sets show that, all the way back to ...

Scientists have performed a micro-probe analysis of the core and outer layers of a pea-sized piece of a meteorite some 4.57 billion years old to reconstruct the history of its formation, providing the ...

The neutron-rich oxygen isotopes oxygen-27 and oxygen-28 exist as very short-lived resonances, report scientists based on the first observation of their decay into oxygen-24 and three and four ...

High resolution oxygen isotopes profiles of well-preserved uppermost Jurassic oyster shells and vertebrate (ichthyosaur and fish) teeth from Central Poland were obtained using a microdrill and an ion ...

Scientists at The University of New Mexico have found that the Earth and Moon have distinct oxygen compositions and are not identical in oxygen as previously thought according to a new study released ...
