A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.

Actinium-225 is an alpha emitter, spewing out tiny bundles of energy that promise to kill cancer cells, but only at short range. This isotope and others like it are the focus of a ...

It is also used to generate other radioisotopes that have potential uses in cancer therapies. ORNL produces actinium-227 ...

The U.S. Department of Energy is investing an additional $527 million into a cutting-edge isotopes research facility at Michigan State University, where scientific breakthroughs are coming ever more ...

An extraordinary discovery has recently shaken the world of science. An uncommon isotope, previously unknown to our realm of understanding, has been found within an ancient rock. The properties of ...

Researchers measured very precisely atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear binding energies. The discovery provides essential data for ...

A new study has uncovered how tiny differences in boron atoms can help scientists better predict the long-term behavior of glass used to store hazardous waste. The findings, published in Environmental ...
