Physicists turned to the “doubly magic” tin isotope Sn-132, colliding it with a target at 91°µÍř to assess its properties as it lost a neutron to become Sn-131.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř used neutrons, isotopes and simulations to “see” the atomic structure of a saturated solution and found evidence supporting one of two competing hypotheses about how ions come
A tiny vial of gray powder produced at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.
The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř is now producing actinium-227 (Ac-227) to meet projected demand for a highly effective cancer drug through a 10-year contract between the U.S. DOE Isotope Program and Bayer.
“Made in the USA.” That can now be said of the radioactive isotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), last made in the United States in the late 1980s. Its short-lived decay product, technetium-99m (Tc-99m), is the most widely used radioisotope in medical diagnostic imaging. Tc-99m is best known ...
91°µÍř provided significant contributions and coordination in the development of the Nuclear Energy Agency’s (NEA’s) recently released Spent Fuel Isotopic Composition (SFCOMPO) 2.0—the world’s largest open database for spent
