Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis reported the first observations of a new form of fluorine, the isotope 13 F, described in the journal Physical Review Letters. They made their ...

ORNL’s tandem technologies detect fluorine and isotopes of uranium at the same time to discern the fingerprint of a nuclear material made for fuel or weaponry. Combining two techniques, analytical ...

Dripline: how many neutrons can you pack into a nucleus? (Courtesy: iStock/Altayb) The maximum number of neutrons that can be packed into fluorine and neon isotopes have been determined by nuclear ...

A research team at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the first ever to observe a beta-delayed neutron emission from fluorine-25, a rare, unstable nuclide. Using the FRIB Decay Station ...

A research collaboration between the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams recently ran an experiment that sheds light on the forces holding together atomic nuclei ...

Scientists have shown that knocking out a single proton from a fluorine nucleus -- transforming it into a neutron-rich isotope of oxygen -- can have a major effect on the state of the nucleus.

Fluorine is the most chemically reactive element on the periodic table. Only one isotope of fluorine occurs naturally. Researchers discovered a new isotope with four neutrons removed from the proton ...
