Despite years of medical progress, cancer remains one of the top causes of death globally, with millions of people diagnosed ...

The current AI race has reached a bottleneck that can be relieved only by new sources of electrical generation. Read more ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

Stable isotope probing (SIP) experiments in conjunction with Raman microspectroscopy (Raman) or nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) are frequently used to explore single cell ...

Stable isotopes are the starting material for radioisotope manufacturing. The Nusano stable isotope program extracts high purity, enriched stable isotopes from naturally available elements. This ...

Teeth from sharks and rays can be used to study their diet, but one of the biggest challenges in shark science is collecting samples from rare or protected species.

Lithium atoms exist as two stable isotopes: lithium-7 makes up 92.5 per cent of the element in nature and the rest is lithium-6. The rarer isotope reacts much more efficiently with neutrons to ...

Deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, plays a critical role in enhancing the durability and luminous efficiency of semiconductors and display devices, as well as serving as a fusion fuel in ...

The Scientists Who Drank Heavy Water To See What It Tasted Like Harold Urey proved the existence of heavy water. Then, of course, he wondered what it tasted like.
