Some Six Nations residents may be eligible for well water testing after elevated levels of strontium were found in local ...

Nature - Ion Exchange Method of estimating Strontium-90 and Other Radionuclides in Rainwater. Skip to main content. Thank you for visiting nature.com.

When bathed in a specific wavelength of blue light, strontium creates a glow hundreds of times wider than the radius of the atom itself (which is about a quarter of a nanometer, or 2.5x10 to the ...

Electrospun sodium titanate speeds up the purification of water based on selective ion exchange -- effectively extracts radio-active strontium. With the help of this new method, waste water can be ...

New Material Shows Great Promise For Nuclear Waste Clean-Up Date: March 5, 2008 Source: Northwestern University Summary: Nuclear power has advantages, but, if this method of making power is to be ...

Strontium atoms are relatively large, with radii around 215 billionths of a millimetre. The atom is visible in this photograph because it absorbs and re-emits the bright light of the laser.

The award-winning long-exposure photograph captures a positively charged atom suspended in an ion trap. An image of a single positively-charged strontium atom, held near motionless by electric fields.

Ideal system: A strontium ion trapped in an electric field. The measurement on the ion lasts only a millionth of a second. (Courtesy: F Pokorny et al., Stockholm University) Anyone familiar with ...

Figure 1: Photographs of a double-sided polished SrTiO 3 sample ion-bombarded on the left half. Four-probe transport and Hall-effect measurements were performed in darkness with a.c. and d.c ...

Analyst Paul Smith-Goodson dives deeper into MIT Lincoln Laboratory researchers have developed the first trapped-ion quantum chip with integrated photonics. The development will aid in the future ...

The work by this team of researchers highlights the huge potential of optical lattice clocks based on strontium atoms, suggesting that they could perhaps even contribute to the redefinition of the ...
