What comes to mind when you think about isotopes? Radioactivity, perhaps? That’s only the tip of the iceberg. A new interactive periodic table of the elements and isotopes, launched last month by 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 ...

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

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)'s electromagnetic isotope separator, or EMIS, made history in 2018 when it produced 500 milligrams of the rare isotope ruthenium-96, unavailable anywhere else in ...

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; ...

In creating five new isotopes, scientists have brought the stars closer to Earth. The isotopes are known as thulium-182, thulium-183, ytterbium-186, ytterbium-187 and lutetium-190. In creating five ...

Ernest Rutherford visited Stockholm in December 1908 to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his “investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive ...

I've written about a number of chemistry packages in the past and all of the computational chemistry that you can do in a Linux environment. But, what is fundamental to chemistry? Why, the elements, ...

At the time of writing, it is 100 years since Francis Aston born in Birmingham in the United Kingdom, but then working at the renowned Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, described the evidence, at ...
