A research team from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) has discovered ...

The study suggests that the Moon likely formed largely from Earth's mantle material — with minimal involvement from Theia.

A research team has discovered another piece in the puzzle of the formation of the Moon and water on Earth. The prevailing theory was that the Moon was the result of a collision between the early ...

Scientists have observed a never-before-seen form of oxygen, and its behavior could call into question what nuclear physics ...

A research team from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) has discovered another piece in the ...

Oxygen was the first stable isotope used to determine migratory history in marine environments. Stable isotope analyses using marine oxygen have used barnacle shells attached to the study animal.

This measurement provides carbon, oxygen and “clumped” isotope ratios for carbonate minerals, which enables us to reconstruct the temperature at which the carbonate formed, along with information ...

These unique networks provide Member States access to global and regional data sets on water isotopes (oxygen-18, deuterium and tritium) and related mapping products. These widely used data sets are ...

The team analyzed water in nine samples from the Apollo lunar mission, using a high-precision triple oxygen isotope technique. This method, developed by Dr. Morgan Nunn Martinez of the University ...

Oxygen, for example, has eight protons. However, the number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different forms of elements, called isotopes. The recently observed type of oxygen is one ...
