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 ...

Long thought to be completely disordered, space ice appears to have some crystallized regions, new research suggests.

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Lasers trap a cloud of strontium atoms inside an "optical lattice" in the world's most accurate atomic clock ...

Talk about the perils of atomic radiation has swelled in volume and intensity ever since the U.S. and Russia fired their much-publicized H-bombs in 1954. From public forums and presses all over ...
