To create a new approach for monitoring and quantifying free fatty acids (FFAs), Chinese researchers combined stable isotope ...

The number of protons is called the atomic number Z. The number of protons is what defines the element, i.e. an atom with six protons in its nucleus will always be carbon, and uranium will always ...

Carbon-13 has an extra neutron. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope, and, along with carbon-13, is completely stable. Carbon-14, however, is the isotopic black sheep of the carbon family.

Previously, the atomic-scale structure of amorphous materials could only be handled qualitatively, or predicted/estimated using molecular dynamics (MD). Use of the 3D structural visualization ...
