Stable isotopes do not decay into other elements. In contrast, radioactive isotopes (e.g., 14C) are unstable and will decay into other elements. The less abundant stable isotope(s) of an element have ...

A research team led by Prof. Zhang Zhirong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Stable isotopes have helped uncover migratory routes, trophic levels, and the geographic origin of migratory animals. They can be used on land as well as in the ocean and have revolutionized how ...

Isotope hydrology helps governments find and understand the source of their water supplies – so they can develop management ...

Scientists have developed a prototype nuclear battery using radiocarbon that could power small devices for decades without ...

Utilizing Hg stable isotopes to reliably trace the origin of Hg in the geologic record has been reported in a number of studies. Mercury isotope records of Hg enrichments for volcanic origin ...

The application of Stable Isotopes measurements can be used to integrate, indicate, record and trace fundamental ecological processes. Rapid technological advances over the past decade have greatly ...

Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...

Stable isotopes are safe, non-radioactive forms of common elements such as carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen that occur naturally in small amounts in the foods and water we consume every day. Because they ...

This policy deals with radioisotopes. For stable isotopes, see Stable Isotopes on SIO Ships. The SIO Isotope Use Committee (the IUC) reviews all experiments involving natural isotopes and ...

Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms. Although they do not emit radiation, their unique properties enable them to be used in a broad variety of applications, including water and soil ...
