Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has announced a new way to reliably make element 116, livermorium. The results, made by ...

Finding Isotopes is relatively easy, although finding certain specific ones can be a bit challenging. To locate Isotopes in your area, you’ll want to scan (L3) and look for the red and white energy ...

Editor’s note: This series profiles five of the Seattle region’s “Uncommon Thinkers”: inventors, scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs transforming industries and driving positive change in the ...

Carolyn Krause presents the second part of the three-part series on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's role in the discovery of elements in the periodic table. Many of them have been synthesized ...

An international team of researchers, led by scientists from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, has studied r-process nucleosynthesis in measurements conducted at the Canadian research center TRIUMF in ...

Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms. Although they do not emit radiation, their unique properties enable them to be used in a broad variety of applications, including water and soil ...

On the periodic table, most elements have at least one stable form. But others have only unstable forms, all of which decay by emitting radiation and transforming into different elements until ...

THE elements 81 (thallium), 82 (lead), and 83 (bismuth) have both radioactive and inactive isotopes, whereas the elements 84–92 are only known in an active form. Several attempts have been made to ...

THE first Friday evening discourse of the new session at the Royal Institution was delivered on November 2 by Dr. F. W. Aston, who took as his subject “Elements and Isotopes”. That a chemical element ...
