Oak Ridge National Laboratory is boosting isotope production to secure the US supply chain after Russian shortages.

A study by scientists at Hunan University introduces a new hydrogen isotope separation method that leverages proton quantum tunneling to produce heavy water, overcoming the key physical limitation ...

Laser isotope separation exploits the slight differences in atomic energy levels between isotopes to achieve selective excitation and ionisation. By tuning narrowband or broadband lasers to ...

"Our work has suggested that Li-S batteries built from the heavier S isotope could benefit from enhanced conversion reaction kinetics and suppressed active sulfur loss at the cathode, and inhibited ...

Electrocatalytic hydrogen isotope separation harnesses the subtle differences in reaction kinetics and transport properties of hydrogen isotopologues—protium (H), deuterium (D) and tritium (T)—to ...

Testing has been completed of a device for carrying out irradiation tests of various radioisotopes - such as yttrium-90 - at the two pressurised heavy water reactors that make up Phase III of the ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued its first production-scale task orders under a $2.7-billion uranium enrichment program launched in 2024, awarding $900 million each to Centrus Energy ...

ASP Isotopes Inc (NASDAQ:ASPI) shares are moving higher Thursday after the company announced the accelerated commissioning of its first quantum enrichment plant following the successful enriching of ...

Like everything we see in the world, isotopes are a type of atom, the smallest unit of matter that retains all the chemical properties of an element. Isotopes are forms of a chemical element with ...

A team of nuclear physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in Japan, working with a colleague from Korea, has discovered a previously unknown uranium isotope with atomic number 92 and mass 241 ...

Apparently, Chinese researchers have made a breakthrough in low-temperature distillation of boron-10 isotopes, and that brings this country one giant step forward in terms of nuclear power ...
