There are two coexisting, competing quantum shapes at low energy in 98Kr, never before seen for neutron-rich Kr isotopes, report scientists. The team also showed that these isotopes experience a ...

Andrew Rogers: physicists have spotted mirror symmetry violation in strontium-73 and bromine-73. (Courtesy: UMass Lowell) Physicists in the US have made the surprising discovery that two nuclear ...

ISOTOPIC ages by potassium – argon and rubidium – strontium methods have been measured on some Spitsbergen rocks, in the hope of contributing to the Mid-Palægeozoic time-scale and to the understanding ...

Small clouds of strontium atoms (blue) and rubidium atoms (red) are trapped together. The well-known properties of rubidium can be used to calibrate the applied magnetic field very precisely, which in ...

THE age of four samples of granitic rocks selected by the Establishment for Nuclear Materials (Beograd, Yugoslavia) has been measured by the rubidium/strontium method. All analyses were made on ...
