At the cutting-edge Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, researchers have precisely measured the mass of aluminum-22, revealing ...

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams achieved the highest-power beam of uranium ions ever in the world. "We're already now in ...

There are three isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen, deuterium (hydrogen-2) and tritium (hydrogen-3): if the atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively-charged ion if the atom gains one ...

have reached a new milestone in isotope studies. They accelerated a high-power beam of uranium ions and delivered a record 10 ...

Measurements of very rare isotopes are key to testing nuclear theory ... Next, the beam was sent to the Low Energy Beam and Ion Trap (LEBIT) facility, where the ions were injected into a device ...

The electric and magnetic fields of an electrostatic accelerator system are used to filter out other isotopes from the ion beam. The high velocity means that molecules can be destroyed and removed ...
