An international team of researchers led by the University of Surrey has successfully measured a nuclear reaction that plays ...

A sophisticated new map of Africa, using a little-known element, helps reveal where rare animals exploited by the illegal ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Scientists used strontium isotopes in Misha the elephant’s teeth to track her movements, revealing a method to study ancient ...

Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant's teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. Geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or tusks reveal where ...

Misha was euthanized in 2008 due to declining health. At that time, and with an eye toward advancing isotope research, University of Utah distinguished professor Thure Cerling asked if his team could ...

Teeth recovered from a beloved zoo elephant that died in 2008 are helping University of Utah geologists develop a method for tracking the movements of ...

New research shows that atomic collisions can be controlled at higher temperatures, expanding quantum possibilities.

Archaeologists in Spain keep uncovering severed skulls at ancient Iron Age sites, some impaled with iron nails. The discovery ...

At ultracold temperatures, interatomic collisions are relatively simple, and their outcome can be controlled using a magnetic ...
