Analysis of meteorite Erg Chech 002 shows that the radioactive isotope aluminum-26 was unevenly distributed in the early Solar System, overturning previous theories. (Yuri Amelin) A little over four ...

Researchers have created three never-before-observed isotopes of magnesium and aluminum. The results not only stake out new territory on the nuclear landscape, but also suggest that variants of ...

In experiments that created the heaviest isotope yet of magnesium, an unexpected isotope of aluminum also showed up.

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 ...

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 ...

Systems with lots of this aluminum isotope tended to form smaller, dry rocky bodies. Systems with low levels of the isotope formed more water worlds.

New Neutron-Rich Isotopes Discovered Magnesium and aluminum isotopes push the limits of nuclear stability by Jyllian Kemsley ...

According to Kane, aluminum and chlorine play individual roles in the geochemistry of planet formation. He said radioactive aluminum isotopes contribute to core differentiation, while chlorine's ...

The old dating method relies on measuring the amount of aluminum 26, which is a radioactive form, or isotope, of aluminum, present in meteorites to date the solar system.

He said radioactive aluminum isotopes contribute to core differentiation, while chlorine's distribution helps map planetary evolution.
