Three First-ever Atomic Nuclei Created; New Super-heavy Aluminum Isotopes May Exist. ScienceDaily. Retrieved May 25, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2007 / 10 / 071024130508.htm.
The discovery of aluminum-42 suggests that even heavier aluminum isotopes could exist, says Paul-Henri Heenen of the Free University of Brussels in Belgium. And other elements, ...
Researchers at Michigan State University's National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, have created three never-before-observed isotopes of magnesium and aluminum. The results not only stake ...
CARBON-12 AND -14. Oxygen-16 and -18. Phosphorus-31 and -32. Add one or two neutrons to an element, and it creates another isotope. But what about adding 14 or more neutrons to a light atom? That ...
Aluminum Isotope Provides a Window in Time (1 of 3) ... This is a false-color, detailed, backscattered electron picture of an aluminum-rich chondrule from the Semarkona chondrite (Green: glass.
26 Al is an unstable isotope of the familiar metal, with a half-life—720,000 years—that means its decay can come during the process of planet formation.
From these aluminum and magnesium isotopes, they concluded that the CAIs were formed about 10,000 to 20,000 years after the collapse of the parent molecular cloud.
While SLRs probably existed in the part of the filament where the Sun and Solar System formed, the meteorite samples contained too much of a particular aluminum isotope for the interstellar medium ...
