A 2024 phase 1 NASA Advanced Innovations concept study will look at thin film isoptope nuclear rockets. This will enable faster probes with years of thrust capability. The years of thrust using ...

Scientists have measured the half-lives of five never-before-seen isotopes in a first demonstration of a research facility that will help probe the nuclear structures of elements (Phys. Rev. Lett.

Researchers using the KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS) in Japan have created a new isotope of uranium with 149 neutrons to go along with the element’s 92 protons (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2023, DOI: ...

The U.S. government launched a new operation extracting rare materials from Cold War era nuclear waste that is likely to ...

AI-driven demand for reliable power is fueling a nuclear renaissance, with Google and tech giants investing heavily in next-gen reactor infrastructure. ASP Isotopes stands out for its isotope ...

A theoretical study reveals how functionalized crown ethers selectively capture light gadolinium isotopes, offering a cleaner, more efficient path for nuclear and planetary science applications.

ASP Isotopes was up sharply on Thursday after the company successfully enriched Ytterbium-176 (via its “quantum laser enrichment” process) months ahead of schedule. The isotope and high-assay ...

Isotek Systems, in partnership with TerraPower Isotopes, co-created by Bill Gates, are “producing cancer treatment material ...

ORNL’s tandem technologies detect fluorine and isotopes of uranium at the same time to discern the fingerprint of a nuclear material made for fuel or weaponry. Combining two techniques, analytical ...

With five more protons than should be stable, the newly discovered nitrogen-9 isotope sits right on the borderline of physical possibility. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Although present in very small amounts, selenium (Se)-based compounds play important roles in protecting the body from oxidative stress, regulating thyroid hormones, strengthening the immune system, ...

Bruce Power's Chief Operating Officer James Scongack is also Chairman of the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council and, as he explains, the country is aiming to grow its leadership role in nuclear medicine ...
