Nuclear isomers are crucial probes for studying the structure of nuclei. Unlike chemical isomers—which have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms—nuclear isomers are nuclei ...

In a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Prof. ZHOU Xukai and his colleagues from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduced ...

In chemistry, molecules are manipulated by changing the constituent atoms, or their arrangements. Now a group of physicists and chemists from The City College of New York and Spain can demonstrate how ...

Nobel laureate Otto Hahn is credited with the discovery of nuclear fission. Fission is one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century, yet Hahn considered something else to be his best ...

Chemical ionization mass spectrometers accurately evaluate VOCs in a wide range of environments. The analysis becomes ambiguous when a compound is obscured by either isomeric or isobaric interference.

U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) physicist Dr. Jeff Carroll of the Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate's (SEDD's) Power and Energy Division was recently recognized with a publication in ...

The field of nuclear excitation and isomer manipulation centres on the controlled transfer of energy into and out of atomic nuclei, particularly via the excitation of nuclear isomeric states. Nuclear ...

The research that could, perhaps, lead to nuclear isomer bombs one day remains contentious in America; the weight of the physics establishment says the science is unproven, even unlikely. But what is ...

Addressing an unusual twist on an obviousness case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held a substantially pure isomer obvious in view prior art disclosing both a completely pure ...
