Researchers have dated volcanic layers at six fossil-bearing sites in Turkey, including one known as Taşhan (shown). The ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...

Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant's teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. Geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or tusks reveal where ...

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

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

"We determined the strontium isotopes from the top to the bottom of the tooth in different parallel lines and those represent different times in the growth of Misha," said geologist Diego ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Albuquerque Isotopes revealed its newest alternate identity. The ‘City Roots’ series ties in the history and culture of the community and pays homage to the ...

More stable isotopes can also be identified by magic numbers, and double magic means an extra level of stability, providing resistance against nuclear decay. In the case of lead-208—the heaviest ...

One of the severed heads found at Ullastret. Credit: MAC-Ullastret a De Prado. Among the ruins of ancient cities scattered across northeastern Spain, archaeologists have uncovered a grisly yet ...

First of a two-part look at border life. Last year, Elmer—whose last name is withheld because he fears deportation—traveled alone by foot, truck, and bus from Colombia to the Mexico-Texas ...
