In 1999, Pentagon-funded researcher Carl Collins claimed that he was able to get a nuclear isomer of Hafnium 178m2 to release an enormous amount of gamma radiation -- despite only putting a relative ...

Chemical ionization mass spectrometers accurately evaluate VOCs in a wide range of environments. The analysis becomes ambiguous when a compound is obscured by either isomeric or isobaric interference.

Nobel laureate Otto Hahn is credited with the discovery of nuclear fission. Fission is one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century, yet Hahn considered something else to be his best ...

Converting a mixture of mirror-image forms, or stereoisomers, of a molecule into a single isomer is a big deal in making pharmaceuticals, because usually only one isomer is useful as a drug. But ...

One hundred years after “nuclear isomers” were first discovered, Philip Walker and Zsolt Podolyák pick five examples of these long-lived, excited nuclear states to show why they are so important in ...
