An international research team working at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, at Michigan State University has successfully produced, separated, and identified five new isotopes that had ...
Observations of nearby red dwarf stars reveal rare carbon and oxygen isotopes, offering direct evidence of stellar nucleosynthesis and the chemical evolution of the Milky Way.
Lithium-6 is essential for producing nuclear fusion fuel, but isolating it from the much more common isotope, lithium-7, usually requires liquid mercury, which is extremely toxic. Now, researchers ...
