Knowledge of ice sheets’ past extent informs understanding of their sensitivity to future climatic changes. This knowledge often comes from terrestrial and marine evidence, but the fragmentary and ...

In the context of cosmogenic nuclide formation, the yield refers to the production rate of a specific nuclide per unit time, per unit mass of the target material, under cosmic ray exposure. It ...

CHANGSHA -- Chinese researchers have successfully extracted high-purity lead-212 and bismuth-212 nuclides from rare earth minerals, the press center of the University of South China said Wednesday.

The thorium based nuclear fuel cycle offers many advantages with respect to safety, reduced proliferation risk and waste management. However, the quality of nuclear data for the relevant materials is ...

Nature’s processes provide us with a rich variety of elements, ranging from hydrogen with just one proton, to uranium with 92 protons. Almost 300 stable “nuclides” – combinations of different numbers ...
