Relevant parts of the spectra obtained on day 20 from the three measurements performed. Credit: Physical assessment C (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevC.109.055501 The search for the elusive neutrino takes many forms. Detectors consisting of many tons of gallium are used in various experiments because neutrino interactions can occur on the stable gallium-71 (71Ga) nucleus and transform … Read more
Promethium is extremely rare: only about 0.5 kg occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust at any time. Conceptual art shows the rare earth element promethium in a vial surrounded by an organic ligand. Image credits: Jacqueline DeMink / Thomas Dyke / ORNL. Promethium, discovered in 1945 at Clinton Laboratories, is a lanthanide element with the … Read more
