Another advantage of nano-MRI is that the molecules can be labeled by isotopes providing a means for site-specific image contrast.
#A cheaper way to enrich super pricey isotopes Chemical elements often exist in nature as a blend of different variants called isotopes.
a single isotope has to be enriched, or separated out, from the rest. Now scientists have discovered a cheaper
Other valuable isotopes are produced by Cold war era machines known as calutrons operating in Russia. Their extreme age
the new method for enriching stable isotopes, called MAGIS (magnetically activated and guided isotope separation), needs little energy due to its use of low-powered lasers and permanent magnets.
Other isotopes can be used to detect dangerous nuclear materials arriving at US ports. Now, Raizen top goal is getting this technology out of the lab and into the world.
says Raizen. here are many potential uses of isotopes that we don even know yet.
(or isotope) of argon we discovered in the crab nebulasays Gomez. e now know that it is different from argon we see in rocks on the Earth.
and determined their stable carbon isotope ratios. The percentage of carbon 13 in the microfossils was produced indicative of material by biological processes.
Stable carbon isotope analysis can determine the biological origin of these microfossils because they used carbon dioxide to create energy
but when exposed to neutrons it will react to produce a particular isotope of uranium (U-233) that becomes the nuclear fuel.
Like the team at the JINR, the group managed to create the element by firing Calcium isotopes at radioactive Berkelium
In these samples the researchers looked at the concentration of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes
From an animal's isotope levels scientists can partially reconstruct its diet and place in the food web.
The trick to improving the accuracy of the technology was to select for specific silicon isotopes that have no magnetic spin,
"We solved the problem by removing all the silicon 29 isotopes that have magnetic spin leaving only silicon 28,
Studying the water's isotopes and any organic material it might hold in deep freeze could shed light on where Earth got its water
Normally levels of the isotope differ by just 0. 05 per cent annually but Miyake found a 1. 2 per cent leap in those years that could only have been caused by extremely high-energy cosmic rays hitting the Earth.
and European trees from the same era while Antarctic ice cores from 775 also have increases in beryllium-10 another isotope caused by cosmic rays.
The pair suggest that the odd isotope levels in the trees and in the Antarctic ice are the first evidence for a burst much closer to home.
The high-accuracy operations for both natural and artificial atom qubits is achieved by placing each inside a thin layer of specially purified silicon containing only the silicon-28 isotope.
This isotope is perfectly nonmagnetic and unlike those in naturally occurring silicon does not disturb the quantum bit.
and a neutron, making it one neutron lighter than the most common helium isotope On earth.
Last year, UNSW scientists were able to create single"CMOS type"qubits that leveraged current transistor technology and silicon-28, a very common isotope of silicon,

which is a common isotope of helium, is rapidly increasing and its availability may soon be limited to conserve strategic supplies.
The newly discovered, exotic nuclei are one isotope each of heavy elements berkelium, neptunium and uranium and two isotopes of the element americium.
Every chemical element comes in the form of different isotopes. These isotopes are distinguished from one another by the number of neutrons in the nucleus,
and thus by their mass. The newly discovered isotopes have fewer neutrons and are lighter than the previously known isotopes of the respective elements.
To date, the known Periodic table comprises more than 3, 000 isotopes of 114 confirmed chemical elements. According to scientific estimates
more than 4, 000 additional, undiscovered isotopes also should exist. Due to their low number of neutrons,
their structure is very exotic and therefore interesting for the development of theoretical models describing atomic nuclei. hese results really push what we know about nuclear structure to the extreme, neutron-deficient end of the chart of the nuclides,
Shaughnessy said. hen you realize that naturally occurring uranium has 146 neutrons and this new isotope only has 124 neutrons,
it shows how much more we still have yet to learn about nuclear structure and the forces that hold the nucleus together.
Different isotopes formed as the end products of this exchange. The isotopes of berkelium neptunium, uranium and americium discovered were created as the end products of such collisions.
They are unstable and decay after a few milliseconds or seconds, depending on the isotope. All of the resulting decay products can be separated
and analyzed using special filters composed of electrical and magnetic fields. The scientists used all of the decay products detected to identify the new isotope that has been created.
The current experiments will make it possible to explore previously unknown areas on the isotope chart.
The elements 107 to 112 were discovered using the same experimental facility at GSI c
#How wireless-ray visioncould power virtual reality, smart homes, and Hollywood A team of researchers at MIT Computer science and Artificial intelligence Lab (CSAIL) has believed long that wireless signals like Wifi can be used to see things that are invisible to the naked eye.

and became tellurium-125, a nonradioactive isotope of the element tellurium. The transformation of one element to another occurred
giving off vast amounts of energy and becoming the isotope of tellurium, with half of the atoms decaying every 59 days.
a process known as staple isotope labeling of amino acids in cell cultures and live mice. When examining the nerve cells,
By labelling certain segments of an enzyme with heavy isotopes, the researchers have found that'heavy'and'light'versions of enzymes have different catalytic properties,
The researchers altered the weight of DHFR by adding heavy isotopes--specifically carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen--onto certain segments of the enzyme.
and measuring the uptake of these isotopes to 5fc in DNA. The lack of uptake in the non-dividing adult brain tissue pointed to the fact that 5fc can be a stable modification:
this uptake of isotopes would be high. The researchers believe that 5fc might alter the way DNA is recognised by proteins.'
The study began with precise measurements of isotopes of iron and neodymium using one of the world's fastest lasers,
Isotopes, forms of an atom that differ only by weight, are used often to"fingerprint"the source of various samples.)
Previous probes of the source of banded iron had focused on iron isotopes.""There has been debate about
what the iron isotopes were telling us about the source, "Li says.""Adding neodymium changed that picture
