Physicists have discovered that silicon-22 reveals a new proton magic number offering critical insights into nuclear ...

A research team at UNIST has developed a new deposition technology that enables the uniform mixing of different metals within a single atomic layer. This advancement holds significant promise for ...

Researchers have just created a new super-heavy isotope of seaborgium, called seaborgium-257. This type of unstable atom does not exist naturally on Earth. Seaborgium-257 lasts for ...

The algorithm was able to determine the atomic structure from nanometer-sized crystals of various shapes, including samples that had proven too difficult for previous experiments to characterize.

Strontium 90 is probably the most-feared fission product. Chemically similar to calcium, it is absorbed along with calcium by the human system and deposited in the bones, where its persistent ...

If scientists choose to redefine the second, they must decide not only which clock to use but also which atomic transition: that of strontium atoms or ytterbium or aluminum ions—or something else.

The international collaboration team was even able to use this data to obtain direct information about the deformation of the atomic nucleus along the ytterbium isotope chain. This can provide new ...

Researchers mapped predicted bioavailable strontium isotope ratios across most of the African continent. Matching values from the map against those observed in artifacts and plant, animal, and human ...

The most precise and accurate atomic clock in the world, the ultracold strontium clock at JILA in Boulder, is like a stopwatch that can count the billionths of a nanosecond, or 18 digits past the ...

By coupling a strontium atomic clock with a crystal containing thorium nuclei, a team of physicists has successfully demonstrated the core technology that will lead us to the first fully realized ...

WebMD explains the benefits and effects of strontium treatment for osteoporosis and bone health.
