Apparently, Chinese researchers have made a breakthrough in low-temperature distillation of boron-10 isotopes, and that brings this country one giant step forward in terms of nuclear power ...

A new study has uncovered how tiny differences in boron atoms can help scientists better predict the long-term behavior of glass used to store hazardous waste. The findings, published in Environmental ...

Glass is widely used to immobilize hazardous constituents—from radionuclides in vitrified nuclear waste to metals in industrial residues—yet it is metastable. In groundwater, it hydrolyzes, ...

In a study that combines groundbreaking experimental work and theoretical calculations, researchers have determined the nuclear geometry of two isotopes of boron. The result could help open a path to ...

The Isotope Factor Enriching the boron isotope content proved essential. Natural boron contains roughly 20% boron-10 and 80% boron-11, and that mix introduces mass disorder into the crystal lattice.

Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...
