For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

Stable isotope analysis has become an indispensable tool in deciphering the complexities of the water cycle and climate variability. By measuring the ratios of stable isotopes such as δ18O and δ2H in ...

Marine ecology encompasses the study of complex interactions among organisms and their environment in the world’s oceans. Central to advancing this field has been the adoption of stable isotope ...

Archaeologists at UC Santa Cruz used predictive modeling to map strontium isotope ratios across all of modern-day Angola, a region in Southwest Africa that was once a major hub for the transatlantic ...

For the next five years, the University of Wyoming’s Stable Isotope Facility (SIF) will be the go-to laboratory to analyze National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) soil samples from across the ...

The isotope lead-208 was predicted to be extremely stable and perfectly spherical because of the “magic” numbers of electrons and protons orbiting its nucleus. When researchers blasted lead-208 with ...

The CU IsoBuffs - a loosely knit community of stable isotope enthusiasts at the University of Colorado - hosted the 2023 Front Range Isotope Day (FRIDay) on Friday August 25 th. The meeting was held ...

New research from the Monell Chemical Senses Center and Temple University about nutritional biomarkers using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios showed very different results in children versus ...

"Synthesis of a Stable Isotope Symposium, held at Newcastle upon Tyne in July 1996"--Introd. Isotope sources, analysis and interpretation of organic composition -- Soils, nutrients and plants -- ...

Japanese scientists using an improved method of analysis recently identified a third set of remains as likely those of an American service member who fought on Okinawa during World War II. The ...
