ISOLDE’s resonant ionization laser ion source (RILIS) provided the first beams of neutron-rich chromium isotopes to the ISOLTRAP precision balance. Credit: Noemí Carabán González/CERN ISOLDE’s ...
A relatively recent method for tracking the redox state of the Earth is the study of chromium (Cr) isotopes in the rock record. Earth’s redox state (the oxidation of the planet’s atmosphere and ocean) ...
In a recent paper in Nature Physics, an international research collaboration used world-class instrumentation at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) to study the rare isotope chromium-62.
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. While scientists have a pretty good handle on how protons and neutrons form stable nuclei, there are exceptions to those ...
