All the latest science news on chromium isotopes from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

It exists as four stable (non-radioactive) isotopes with atomic masses of 50, 52, 53 and 54. It has been known for decades that chromium isotopes are relatively underrepresented in Earth's mantle ...

Early in the formation of the Earth, some forms of the element chromium separated and disappeared deep into the planet's core, a new study by UC Davis geologists shows. The finding, to be published ...

The international research team used GSI's gas-filled recoil separator TASCA to create 257 Sg through fusion reactions between chromium-52 and lead-206 nuclei. They found that the new isotope lives ...

To investigate chromium-62, the FRIB fragment separator team first shot a high-energy zinc isotope beam toward a beryllium target. In the process, the researchers produced iron-64 isotopes.

Chromium isotope geochemistry explores the variations in the stable isotopic composition of chromium in natural systems, providing key insights into redox processes, weathering dynamics and ...

Chromium Disappearance. Using chromium isotope measurements from meteorites and the Earth's crust, scientists put computers to work simulating the Earth's early environment.

The observed variations in chromium (Cr) isotope ratios in the Ryugu asteroid samples collected by Hayabusa2 likely resulted from elemental redistribution of slightly soluble Cr by water within ...

A relatively recent method for tracking the redox state of the Earth is the study of chromium (Cr) isotopes in the rock record. Earth’s redox state (the oxidation of the […] ...
