    Antihydrogen: Is it an Isotope?

    Does antihydrogen fall under the catogory of isotope if it's corresponding "normal" hydrogen is not?

    How Do You Calculate the Speed of a Proton and Alpha Particle from a Decaying Lithium Isotope?

    I seem to be stuck on this problem. I thought calculating the velocity of the center of mass of the system would get me somewhere, but I remain confused about where to go next. Here is the problem: The light isotope, 5^Li is unstable and breaks up spontaneously into a proton (hydrogen nucleus)...

    Discover the Mystery of Isotopes: Understanding 16O and 18O

    Hi on a test there was a question that said "Which symbols represent atoms that are isotopes of each other?" the answer turned out to be 16O and 18O, the numbers referring to the number of protons and neutrons. Anyhow I wanted to know what you have to do in order to get that answer as I got...

    Isotopes: Detailed Info on Emissions, Energy, & Half-Life

    Does anyone know of any book, program, or website that has a ton of detailed information about isotopes? Such how many and what particles they emit (alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray). What the max and average energy those particles have. What range in water and tissue those particles have. What their...

    What is the Isotope Effect and its Role in Superconductors?

    I am doing a report on superconductors. One of the ideas to support the idea of bandgaps in the superconductor is the isotope effect. Unfortentualy I have been an able to find any information on how exactly the isotope effect works. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you...

    Isotope issues on palaeo climate and carbon dating

    The current understanding of palaeo climate is fundamental for the current views on climate mechanism. One important part in that is using the stable isotope ratios, mainly of 18O and 2H or deuterium. We have registered those in the ice cores of Greenland and Artarctica as well as in the oceanic...
