Photonic crystals are periodic optical structures that can control the flow of light. Multiple reflections from surfaces separated by a distance similar to the wavelength prevent an optical beam ...

Discovery of 257Sg and its K-isomer reveals new insights into superheavy element fission and quantum stability mechanisms.

Long-lived radioactive krypton isotopes, 81Kr (t1/2 = 229 000 year) and 85Kr (t1/2 = 10.76 year), are ideal tracers. 81Kr is cosmogenic and can be used for dating groundwater beyond the 14C age. 85Kr ...
