Boron isotope geochemistry has emerged as a robust tool in environmental science, offering nuanced insights into the cycling and behaviour of boron across various terrestrial and aquatic systems. By ...

A new study has uncovered how tiny differences in boron atoms can help scientists better predict the long-term behavior of glass used to store hazardous waste. The findings, published in Environmental ...

Boron isotope geochemistry in marine carbonates has emerged as a pivotal tool for reconstructing past oceanic pH and atmospheric CO₂ levels. The method centres on analysing the boron isotopic ...

In a study that combines groundbreaking experimental work and theoretical calculations, researchers have determined the nuclear geometry of two isotopes of boron. The result could help open a path to ...

Glass is widely used to immobilize hazardous constituents—from radionuclides in vitrified nuclear waste to metals in industrial residues—yet it is metastable. In groundwater, it hydrolyzes, ...

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid struck the earth, initiating mass species die-offs. Scientists have long believed that the impact’s marine extinctions were due to ocean acidification, but ...

Researchers have discovered an “unexpected” accumulation of the radioactive isotope beryllium-10, deep underneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The team hopes their discovery could serve as an ...
