The isotope's half-life is a whopping 1.4 million years, and breaks down into boron, allowing scientists to look much further back in time, over ten million years. As detailed in their paper ...

These shells store chemical fingerprints such as boron isotopes, which enable us to calculate how much CO₂ was in the atmosphere when the brachiopods were alive. This type of CO₂ ...

Natural boron comes as a mix of two types, but only one of these isotopes — boron 10 — absorbs neutrons. Some 80% of natural boron is the other type, boron 11. Stella Chemifa Corp, which is ...

Writing in Nature Nanotechnology, the Manchester scientists show that hydrogen and deuterium –two hydrogen isotopes – can be separated if pushed through miniscule spaces in between atomically thin ...

the limited effectiveness of current 10 B isotope–containing compounds—the most advanced boron drug available is boronophenylalanine (BPA), a ‘passive’ drug that relies exclusively on the ...

In this project, the applicant will address this knowledge gap by developing and applying a novel proxy for past changes in the boron isotopic composition of seawater. To do so, the applicant will ...
