The discovery of stable ''isotopes" began with J. J. Thomson's identification of neon-22 in 1912 (Bievre et al., 1984). More than 90 naturally occurring elements have been identified on the earth; ...

Physicists have found a new “island of inversion” in the nucleus of molybdenum-84, a perfectly balanced atom with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. The discovery upends a decades-old assumption ...

An isotope is one of two or more atoms of the same chemical element with the same atomic number, occupying the same position on the periodic table and having almost identical chemical behavior, but ...

Stable isotopes have proved a transformative tool in the geosciences and beyond, enabling studies ranging from geochemical cycling across scales 1,2,3, ecological food web and resource partitioning ...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of nuclear medicine, the integration of diagnostics and therapeutics - known as theranostics - represents a groundbreaking shift in how we approach the treatment of ...

Artemis Spyrou receives funding from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration. When you hear the term “radioactive” you likely think “bad ...
