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; ...

An isotope is one of two or more atoms of the same chemical element with the same atomic number, occupying the same position on the periodic table and having almost identical chemical behavior, but ...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of nuclear medicine, the integration of diagnostics and therapeutics - known as theranostics - represents a groundbreaking shift in how we approach the treatment of ...

Nuclear technologies are all about radioisotopes. They rely on the availability of atomic, molecular and nuclear data to provide accurate numerical information on isotopes and their decay properties.

Sixty years ago, the very first samples of rainwater were collected for the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP), while the science of isotope hydrology was still taking its first steps.

Isotopic analysis primarily involves the separation of isotopes based on the significant differences in mass. The method is effective for identifying the isotopic signature within the inorganic and ...

When you hear the term “radioactive” you likely think “bad news,” maybe along the lines of fallout from an atomic bomb. But radioactive materials are actually used in a wide range of beneficial ...
