China’s dominance of both mining and processing means these niche metals have become a cudgel to use against opponents.

In response to punitive tariffs imposed by Washington, Beijing earlier this month added seven rare earths to its export ...

Both PET scans use a radioactive tracer to visualize specific body areas. Before the scan, a person is required to ingest, inhale, or receive an injection of a dye containing radioactive tracers ...

The new battery also has radiocarbon in the dye-sensitized anode and a cathode. By treating both electrodes with the radioactive isotope, the researchers increased the amount of beta rays ...

Gerald Frankel receives funding from ONR, DOE. Around the U.S., about 90,000 tons of nuclear waste is stored at over 100 sites in 39 states, in a range of different structures and containers.

The new battery also has radiocarbon in the dye-sensitized anode and a cathode. By treating both electrodes with the radioactive isotope, the researchers increased the amount of beta rays generated ...

A team led by Su-Il In, a professor at South Korea's Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, is developing an innovative solution: radiocarbon-powered nuclear batteries that could ...

Called a dye-sensitized betavoltaic cell, this battery uses beta particles, which are just high-energy electrons. The magic in this battery is the material carbon-14, a radioactive isotope that ...
