I n 1987, a terrible accident unfolded in Goiânia, Brazil, where a radioactive capsule had been abandoned. People later found ...

Mutant sharks. White sand laced with plutonium. Water tainted with strontium. Hub cap-sized hermit crabs eating coconuts ...

The researchers found that adding a compound called caesium nitrate to a part of the battery dramatically improves the charging rate of lithium metal batteries – while allowing them to keep a long ...

Another pill, Prussian blue (potassium ferric hexacyanoferrate), can help remove radioactive caesium and thallium. If HOPO 14-1 works, it would be another to add to the stockpile, offering ...

A NUMBER of methods have been proposed for determining very low concentrations of cæsium-137 in sea-water by γ-ray spectrometry. The sodium potassium cobaltinitrite method 1,2 and the nickel ...

One such gap was one beneath caesium, a position later found to belong to francium. More than 40 years later, it was suggested that each element has a unique numbered position in the periodic table, ...

The world watched as Australia scrambled to find a radioactive capsule in late January. Many asked how it could have been lost - but radioactive material goes missing more often than you might think.

Greenland Minerals Limited (AU:ETM) has released an update. Energy Transition Minerals LTD has completed its initial field reconnaissance at ...

For instance, when scientists at the NIST achieved a record-setting cold temperature of 700 nK (1 nK = 10−9 K) in 1994, they used optical lattice laser equipment to adiabatically cool caesium atoms.

Future Battery Minerals is selling its 80% interest in the Nevada lithium project to Austroid Corporation for $4m in cash to ...

White sand laced with plutonium. Water tainted with strontium. Hub cap-sized hermit crabs eating coconuts containing caesium. A dome ‘coffin’ crammed with radioactive material in plastic bags.
