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

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 ...

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 through reactor irradiation of radium-226 targets. This radioisotope, along ...

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 ...
