Gaining insight could help understand the timing and process of life's emergence. A research team led by a Rutgers-New ...

Earth received water toward the final stages of its formation. This reshapes understanding of the conditions needed for life.

Knowing the location and the quantity of pollutants is essential for any remediation efforts. Phosphorus in the environment is present in two forms—organic and inorganic. Scientists measure isotopes ...

The Boise State University Isotope Geology Laboratory (IGL) is a state-of-the-art geoanalytical facility for the analysis of trace elements and radiogenic isotopes in Earth materials, using both ...

The advent of reactor-produced isotopes—such as iodine-131 for radiation therapy of hyperthyroidism and phosphorus-32 for imaging tumors and treating cancer—showed that nuclear medicine could ...

Phosphorus, the vastly underappreciated 15 th element on the periodic table, is essential to all life as we know it. Phosphorus is the structural backbone of the phosphate nucleotides in DNA and ...

Collagen was extracted and analyzed for bulk stable isotopes of carbon-13 (δ 13 C) and nitrogen-15 (δ 15 N) and compound-specific isotopes of individual amino acids. Radiocarbon dating provided ...
