Carolyn Krause presents the second part of the three-part series on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's role in the discovery of elements in the periodic table. Many of them have been synthesized ...

What comes to mind when you think about isotopes? Radioactivity, perhaps? That’s only the tip of the iceberg. A new interactive periodic table of the elements and isotopes, launched last month by the ...

When you hear the term “radioactive” you likely think “bad news,” maybe along the lines of fallout from an atomic bomb. But radioactive materials are actually used in a wide range of beneficial ...

Provided by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Isotope Browser app is a useful chemistry resource that provides information on over 4,000 chemical isotopes (or “nuclides,” if one is ...

Isotopic analysis primarily involves the separation of isotopes based on the significant differences in mass. The method is effective for identifying the isotopic signature within the inorganic and ...

In 1930, Ernest Lawrence invented the cyclotron, which later developed into a general method for isotope separation based on ionization of atoms with electrons, and separation by the charge-to-mass ...

Uranium is a naturally occurring silvery-white radioactive element which has the atomic number of 92 and chemical symbol U in the periodic table. Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a ...
