The compositional analysis of wine, which encompasses multi-element profiling and stable isotope investigations, has rapidly evolved into a vital instrument for establishing provenance, confirming ...

Isotope analysis, and in particular compound‐specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA), has emerged as an indispensable tool in the investigation of environmental biodegradation. By measuring the subtle ...

Carbon isotope analysis is an analytical method that quantifies the relative abundance of stable carbon isotopes, primarily ¹²C and ¹³C, in a sample to infer biogeochemical processes, sources, and ...

At first, Professor Glen Jackson, who teaches forensic and investigative science at West Virginia University, had a hard time explaining to me what isotopes are. He told me he is used to speaking with ...

Isotopic analysis primarily involves the separation of isotopes based on the significant differences in mass. The method is effective for identifying the isotopic signature within the inorganic and ...

The Center for Isotope Geochemistry (CIG) at Boston College is a state-of-the-art analytical facility specializing in the high-precision measurement of both radiogenic and stable isotopes across a ...

Researchers analyze the ratios of calcium isotopes in bones and fossils to learn more about what dinosaurs once ate. Credit: ...

Demand for the ornaments, jewelry, and other luxury items carved from the ivory in elephant tusks has led poachers to decimate elephant populations. An international ban exists on the ivory trade, and ...

Isotope analysis points to prisoners of war, 1,400 years ago Date: December 11, 2019 Source: University of Bonn Summary: Maya archaeologists found the bones of about 20 people at a water reservoir in ...

Tagging animals is among the oldest and most valuable techniques in wildlife management. Before its use, many questions could only be met with guesses. Where does a species migrate? What is the size ...

Japanese scientists using an improved method of analysis recently identified a third set of remains as likely those of an American service member who fought on Okinawa during World War II. The ...

Dec. 1 (UPI) --A new isotope analysis of 77 paintings created by 27 Dutch artists has revealed subtle differences in a common white pigment that are directly tied to supply routes altered by ...
