EAST LANSING, Mich. — With help from newly developed equipment designed and built at Michigan State University, MSU researchers have been able to make first-of-its-kind measurements of several rare ...

Isotope analysis of tin-bearing geological materials has emerged as a powerful means to unravel the origin, evolution and distribution of tin in the Earth’s crust. By measuring variations in the ...

ORNL’s Alfredo Galindo-Uribarri and team studied doubly magic tin-132 — especially stable because it takes more energy to remove a proton or a neutron than neighboring isotopes need. Separated by an ...

Physics has seven magic numbers. An atom with a magic number of protons or neutrons is super stable. When both the protons and neutrons are magic, that’s a double magic atom. There are only six of ...
