For the first time, researchers have directly observed an exotic type of radioactive decay called two-neutrino double electron capture. The decay, seen in xenon-124 atoms, happens so sparingly that it ...
A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not ...
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has announced the release of its new ECD-2010 Exceed electron capture detector (ECD).The detector features a newly designed capillary ECD cell that uses Shimadzu’s ...
The Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory installed a new electron detector that can capture images at the atomic level at a much faster rate than ever before. One possible ...
James Lovelock, the maverick scientist and inventor, died surrounded by his family on 27 July 2022 – his 103rd birthday. Jim led an extraordinary life. He is best known for his Gaia hypothesis, ...
Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of the sun. These stars develop oxygen-neon-magnesium cores, which become ...
THE highly specific response of the Lovelock electron capture detector toward certain functional groups has been exploited in various ways, notably in the detection of trace amounts of halogenated ...
Analysts interested in quantifying volatile organic compounds like disinfection byproducts in liquid samples should consider using the gas chromatography system. There are two gas chromatography (GC) ...
IN 1957, I invented a device that can sniff out poisonous pesticides and ozone-eating compounds at concentrations of just one part per trillion. The electron capture detector, as I called it, boasted ...
