Eighty out of the first 82 elements in the periodic table have stable isotopes. Measuring and analysing their distribution allows for many practical applications. The IAEA assists Member States in ...

Stable isotopes have helped uncover migratory routes, trophic levels, and the geographic origin of migratory animals. They can be used on land as well as in the ocean and have revolutionized how ...

Erik Pollock, a geoscientist at the U of A, is the lab manager of the University of Arkansas Stable Isotope Lab and the Trace Element and Radiogenic Isotope Lab.

Promethium, element 61 on the periodic table, distinguishes itself from other lanthanides by its lack of stable isotopes. This makes it exceptionally challenging to isolate and study.

We developed a new approach involving sulfur stable isotope (δ34S) distributions in fish muscle tissue to track residents and transients across estuarine salinity zones. Salinity tracking was based on ...

Light stable isotopes are widely used in forensic sciences (in the broadest sense) to determine habitats, biochemical processes, diets, the hydrological cycle, and climate change. The goal of this ...
