Promising advances in nuclear fusion have sparked renewed interest in this technology as a sustainable energy source and ...

but isolating it from the much more common isotope, lithium-7, usually requires liquid mercury, which is extremely toxic. Now, researchers have developed a mercury-free method to isolate lithium-6 ...

Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...

Dr Tian Gan, then at Virginia Tech, was part of a team that explored what happened afterward using the ratio of lithium-6 to lithium-7 in carbonate ... the lithium isotope ratios in what is ...

In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers examined lithium isotope compositions in the Ediacaran Doushantuo cap dolostone to test the ...

Lithium exists in natural sources mainly as the isotope Li-7. Just 7.5% occurs as Li-6, which is critical for nuclear fusion. Bombarding Li-6 with neutrons generates the hydrogen isotope tritium ...

Ytterbium-176 is a critical material used in the production of radioisotopes for oncology treatments, including Novartis’ Pluvicto. - The ...

Copper-64 is a positron and beta emitting isotope of copper, with applications for molecular radiotherapy and positron emission tomography. Lithium-7 is currently used as an alkalizing agent for ...
