The discovery of stable ''isotopes" began with J. J. Thomson's identification of neon-22 in 1912 (Bievre et al., 1984). More than 90 naturally occurring elements have been identified on the earth; ...

The World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought underlines the urgent need to halt land degradation through global cooperation and innovative solutions – such as those offered by nuclear science.

A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.

Sixty years ago, the very first samples of rainwater were collected for the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP), while the science of isotope hydrology was still taking its first steps.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of nuclear medicine, the integration of diagnostics and therapeutics - known as theranostics - represents a groundbreaking shift in how we approach the treatment of ...
