Imagine a battery that doesn’t need replacing for thousands of years. That’s not science fiction—it’s the groundbreaking innovation that a group of researchers in the UK has recently achieved. By ...

Carbon-14 analysis is a radiometric method that quantifies the abundance of the radioactive isotope carbon-14 (¹⁴C) in organic or carbonate samples to infer age, carbon turnover, or source attribution ...

On the left, identified organically bounded C-14 (OBC-14, red dots) in metabolites of zebrafish brain were labeled in the KEGG global pathway map. The blending of C-14 induced significant effects such ...

Martin Kamen and Samuel Ruben's discovery of the radioactive isotope carbon-14 in 1940 helped usher in a new era of dating artifacts from past civilizations. When you purchase through links on our ...

In brief: Researchers from the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority have created the world's first-ever diamond battery powered by radioactive carbon-14. The invention could prove ...
