Beyond Accelerator Mass Spectrometry: Recent Developments in All-Optical Measurements of Radioisotope Carbon [PDF]
The environmental impact of non-renewable energy has come under scrutiny, prompting investments in carbon management strategies like renewable fuels. The presence of radiocarbon in biofuel blends can validate their composition for government regulators and quality control.

Development and characterization of carbon-bonded carbon fiber insulation for radioisotope space power systems [PDF]
The General-Purpose Heat Source (GPHS), an improved radioisotope heat source, employs a unique thermal insulation material, carbon-bonded carbon fiber (CBCF), to protect the fuel capsule and to help achieve the highest possible specific power. The CBCF insulation is made from chopped rayon fiber about 10 ..mu..m in diameter and 250 ..mu..m long, which ...

Novel reverse radioisotope labelling experiment reveals carbon assimilation of marine calcifiers under ocean acidification conditions [PDF]
Abstract Ocean acidification by anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions is projected to depress metabolic and physiological activity in marine calcifiers. To evaluate the sensitivity of marine organisms against ocean acidification, the assimilation of nutrients into carbonate shells and soft tissues must be examined.

Removal of radioisotopes in solution and bactericidal/bacteriostatic sterilising power in activated carbon and metal silver filters [PDF]
Activated carbon filters play an important role in water filtration and purification from contaminants of different origin. Their limit consists in bacterial proliferation, which may occur only during prolonged periods of non-use and in their ability to remove radioactive contaminants present in waste water from Industry or Nuclear Medicine departments.

The AMS technique as an important tool for the measurement of astrophysical cross sections [PDF]
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry is a technique commonly used to approach low concentrations of certain long half-life radioisotopes. The most important contribution of the technique is the accurate measure of organic sample ages, by separating masses 12,13
