Scientists have measured the half-lives of five never-before-seen isotopes in a first demonstration of a research facility that will help probe the nuclear structures of elements (Phys. Rev. Lett.

The copper isotope Cu-64 plays an important role in medicine: It is used in imaging processes and also shows potential for cancer therapy. However, it does not occur naturally and must be produced ...

Hydrogen isotope separation technologies play a pivotal role in energy production, nuclear safety and advanced research. These technologies aim to distinguish between remarkably similar isotopic ...

Researchers using the KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS) in Japan have created a new isotope of uranium with 149 neutrons to go along with the element’s 92 protons (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2023, DOI: ...

With five more protons than should be stable, the newly discovered nitrogen-9 isotope sits right on the borderline of physical possibility. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Researchers have reported new experimental results addressing the origin of rare proton-rich isotopes heavier than iron, called p-nuclei. Led by Artemis Tsantiri, then-graduate student at the Facility ...
