Researchers have analyzed ancient zeolite specimens collected from the edges of East Iceland to discover that zeolites separate calcium isotopes in a wholly unexpected way. Zeolites could be ...

Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may ...

TEMPE, Ariz. – A team of researchers from Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic is showing how a staple of Earth science research can be used in biomedical settings to predict the course of disease ...

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has announced a new way to reliably make element 116, livermorium. The results, made by ...

Calcium isotope geochemistry examines the subtle variations in the 44Ca/40Ca ratio within geological, biological and environmental systems. These variations, expressed as δ44/40Ca values relative to a ...
