In heavy water, each hydrogen atom is indeed heavier, with a neutron as well as a proton in its nucleus. This isotope of hydrogen is called deuterium, and heavy water's more scientific name is ...

Isotope hydrology helps governments find and understand the source of their water supplies – so they can develop management systems to reduce the risks of conflict and build resilience to drought.

Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms. Although they do not emit radiation, their unique properties enable them to be used in a broad variety of applications, including water and soil ...

China National Nuclear Corporation’s (CNNC) first-ever commercial reactor for the production of isotopes has officially opened. Called the Qinshan Nuclear Power Base plant, it has already ...

We have a Thermo Delta V Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer equipped with a Gas Bench II system for CO2 analysis of carbonate materials and water isotope ratios The IRMS is also equipped with an ...

Stable isotopes are safe, non-radioactive forms of common elements such as carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen that occur naturally in small amounts in the foods and water we consume every day. Because they ...

To address this issue, we measured the isotopic composition of water (δ¹⁸O, δ²H)from 70 closed-basin lakes in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. All lakes occupied endorheic basins along a long gradient ...

and the sum of the protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, the number of neutrons defines the isotope of that element. For example, most carbon (≈ 99 %) has 6 protons and 6 neutrons and is written ...
