An isotope is one of two or more atoms of the same chemical element with the same atomic number, occupying the same position on the periodic table and having almost identical chemical behavior, but ...

The discovery of stable ''isotopes" began with J. J. Thomson's identification of neon-22 in 1912 (Bievre et al., 1984). More than 90 naturally occurring elements have been identified on the earth; ...

Sixty years ago, the very first samples of rainwater were collected for the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP), while the science of isotope hydrology was still taking its first steps.

Artemis Spyrou receives funding from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration. When you hear the term “radioactive” you likely think “bad ...
