The research that could, perhaps, lead to nuclear isomer bombs one day remains contentious in America; the weight of the physics establishment says the science is unproven, even unlikely. But what is ...

A team of physicists from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with ...

Chemical ionization mass spectrometers accurately evaluate VOCs in a wide range of environments. The analysis becomes ambiguous when a compound is obscured by either isomeric or isobaric interference.

One hundred years after “nuclear isomers” were first discovered, Philip Walker and Zsolt Podolyák pick five examples of these long-lived, excited nuclear states to show why they are so important in ...
