Oak Ridge National Laboratory is boosting isotope production to secure the US supply chain after Russian shortages.

Silica liquid immiscibility was suggested as a method of magmatic differentiation a century ago 35. However, it is only recently, thanks to progress in experimental and petrographic studies 36, that A ...

For 80 years Oak Ridge National Laboratory has produced isotopes that treat cancer and power deep space exploration.

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; ...

Lead (Pb) isotopes provide valuable insights into the origin of Pb within a sample, typically allowing for reliable fingerprinting of their source. This is useful for a variety of applications, from ...

For decades, scientists have relied on a chemical fingerprint inside water molecules to determine where plants get their moisture. The method shaped our understanding of drought resilience, ...

When Irish criminal investigators couldn’t identify a dismembered body, parts of which they found around a canal near Dublin in the spring of 2005, Wolfram Meier-Augenstein got a phone call. An ...
