Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

A study finds that strong nuclear radiation enhances device efficiency. Researchers have developed a battery capable of ...

Cesium irradiators have been the target of replacement across the country due to safety and security risks they pose, containing a sealed source isotope of cesium (cesium-137), which have a half-life ...

Maybe that’s even more than half of the fun. [CuriousMarc] got an HP 5061A Cesium clock, a somewhat famous instrument as the model that attempted to prove the theory of relativity. The reason?

In 2015, South Korea’s food safety agency detected nine times the standard level of radioactive cesium isotopes in imported hedgehog mushrooms that had been sold as Chinese produce though their ...

Dr. Raymond Cao. The prototype, which measures about 4 cubic centimeters, was tested using two radioactive isotopes: cesium-137 and cobalt-60. These isotopes are significant fission byproducts from ...

"We were quite surprised to find that bluefin carried both of these isotopes," co-author Nicholas Fisher, of New York's Stony Brook University, told CNN on Tuesday. The study found slightly higher ...

Mildly radioactive Pacific bluefin tuna migrated from Japan to the coastal waters of Southern California last year, carrying in their tissue cesium isotopes released by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

In 14C-AMS, an electrostatic tandem accelerator and several magnetic and electrostatic analyzers are used to measure the abundance of a rare isotope, 14C in this case. Negative carbon ions are drawn ...
