A problem set is included for students to practice with the concepts of atomic mass and isotopes. At the conclusion of this lecture, students will be familiar with the parts of the atom and will have ...

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 ...

Researchers measured very precisely atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear binding energies. The discovery provides essential data for ...

Kyle Clavier, left, and Dan Clayton are helping develop a standardized screening method to determine the most important radioactive isotopes to monitor from all of those produced by an advanced ...

Researchers at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, precisely measured atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear ...
