New approach to detect ultra-rare part-per-sextillion isotopes could also sharpen dark matter searches
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
The detection and study of isotopes, atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, could expand the scope of physics research and enable new scientific discoveries. So far, rare isotopes have been primarily detected using a technique known as accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), which accelerates atoms, to then measure their mass and charge.
