An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...

After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived at a ...

A breakthrough in heavy-element chemistry shatters long-held assumptions about transuranium elements. Researchers have ...

This heavier isotope is now known as deuterium. Water (H 2 0), as you are likely painfully aware from school, is an inorganic compound comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Gehringer explains, "Nitrogen gas is a mixture of the light atom 14 N and the heavier atom 15 N. When modern microbes use nitrogen in their metabolism, they use these two isotopes in a certain ...

The ancient reactions an MIT chemist is investigating could provide the key to developing new methods that can extract vast amounts of carbon from our atmosphere.

To help find solutions to the planet's climate crisis, MIT Associate Professor Daniel Suess is looking to Earth's ancient ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have synthesized ...

Now, isotope-labelling studies have elucidated the ... A zeolite-confined Cu single-atom cluster was developed for the electrochemical CO reduction application, which can achieve stable CO-to ...
