Neutron captures produce the vast majority of abundances of elements heavier than iron in
the Universe. Beyond the classical slow (s) and rapid (r) processes, there is observational …

Atom probe tomography (APT) is an analytical technique that provides quantitative three‐
dimensional elemental and isotopic analyses at sub‐nanometre resolution across the whole …

Interest in botanical medicines is increasing worldwide with current global market values
estimated to be greater than US $72 billion. To ensure ingredients used in botanical …

Nuclear astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which
seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the …

We present new theoretical stellar yields and surface abundances for asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) models with a metallicity appropriate for stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud …

Strontium is a chemical element without biological functions in humans. In fact, only two
biological roles are known, both as a biomineral constituent. However, strontium and …

The advent of double-Wien filter-selection-aperture and hexapole-collision-cell technologies
coupled to laser ablation multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA …

Micrometer-sized pollutant particles are of highest concern in environmental and life
sciences, cosmochemistry, and forensics. From their composition, detailed information on …

Pristine stardust grains from the interstellar gas and dust cloud from which our Solar System
formed some 4.57 billion years ago are present in small quantities in primitive Solar System …

Abstract Fission product Sr, Mo, and Ru isotopes in six 10-μm particles of spent fuel from a
pressurized water reactor were analyzed by resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) …
