The contamination is also likely to spread beyond shrimp, the bulletin said.

Researchers have reported new experimental results addressing the origin of rare proton-rich isotopes heavier than iron, ...

Where there’s electricity, there’s usually heat – and that’s a major hurdle for shrinking electronic devices. Scientists have now found that nanowires made of a certain isotope of silicon can conduct ...

Isotopes of a given element have the same number of electrons, but their atomic mass and nuclear spin differ through the number of neutrons. The trivial and prominent effect on isotope exchange is the ...

PID is linked to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and reproductive tract cancers, with a higher prevalence in the U.S. compared to global rates. The study used serum cotinine levels to objectively ...

With the new grant, the Stable Isotope Lab will acquire a cutting-edge instrument called an isotope-ratio-monitoring mass spectrometer (IRMS). A major grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) ...

Bodies store hints about diets. Stable isotope analysis of tissues is widely used to reconstruct animal diets and food web relations – but results have the potential to be misleading, a new study ...

The IAEA is inviting research organizations to join its new Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on the potential long term impact of inflammation on iron metabolism. The five-year project will study ...

Real satellite water vapor isotope data were assimilated in a general circulation model to determine whether including these data could improve forecast accuracy at both the global and local scales.

Early warning of climate risk is the gold standard that scientists, managers and governments are working towards. Doing this requires a detailed understanding of not just the amount of precipitation ...

That natural, bee-produced sweetener you stir into your tea and lavish on your toast may be laced with cesium-137. It’s a radioactive isotope, Jim Kaste explains, a relic of the atom bomb tests of the ...
