Creating plutonium-227. Plutonium-227 is unique because it is “a very neutron-deficient plutonium isotope.” To create this rare isotope, the research team, led by Prof. Gan Zaiguo, used the ...

A research team led by researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has synthesized a new plutonium isotope, plutonium-227. Their study is ...

A research team led by researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has synthesized a new plutonium isotope, plutonium-227.

Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

An isotope of plutonium named plutonium-239 is fissile, which means that it can start a nuclear chain reaction. The United Nations lists it as one of only two radioactive isotopes used to make ...

The therapeutic application of radioactive isotopes is an art that requires fundamental understanding of the three sciences of physics, radiobiology and medicine. More than a few therapeutic ...

Radioactive isotopes emit beta or gamma radiation, or both. (Only a very few artificially made radioactive isotopes emit alpha particles, and these need not be considered here.) ...

Oddly, though, the new study found that the radioactive isotopes present in the Sahara dust that reached Europe in March 2022 originated from nuclear tests conducted by the USA and the USSR, ...

Radioactive isotopes are commonly used in medicine, but experts say that them being a risk "is a question of quantity". Australian Border Force officers raided a house in Sydney after low-level ...
