Oxygen was the first stable isotope used to determine migratory history in marine environments. Stable isotope analyses using marine oxygen have used barnacle shells attached to the study animal.

Anyone who is interested in learning about the use of the stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen to measure the effects of diets, growth, diseases, and clinical treatments on total body water, body ...

So, when scientists at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory created oxygen-27 and oxygen-28 for the first time ever, they expected oxygen-28 to be stable (with 8 protons and 20 neutrons).

However, about 1 % of the carbon in the Earth’s biosphere has 6 protons and 7 neutrons (13C) forming the heavy stable isotope of this important element. Stable isotopes do not decay into other ...

The word magic is not often used in the context of science. But in the early 1930s, scientists discovered that some atomic nuclei – the center part of atoms, which make up all matter – were more ...

This measurement provides carbon, oxygen and “clumped” isotope ratios for carbonate ... coupled with continuous flow stable isotope analysis. This “workhouse” mass spectrometer can measure stable ...
