This isn’t science fiction—it’s the promise of the carbon-14 diamond battery, a revolutionary energy source developed by researchers at the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy ...

Radiocarbon dating, also known as carbon-14 dating, is a method to determine the age of organic materials as old as 60,000 years. First developed in the 1940s at the University of Chicago by Willard ...

ASP Isotopes (ASPI) announced that it has started commercial production of enriched Carbon-14 at its first Aerodynamic Separation Process, ASP, enrichment facility in Pretoria, South Africa.

Radio carbon dating determines the age of ancient objects by means of measuring the amount of carbon-14 there is left in an object. A man called Willard F Libby pioneered it at the University of ...

Martin Kamen, the scientist who co-discovered the radioactive isotope carbon-14, died on 31 August at his home in Santa Barbara, California. He was 89 years old. Kamen discovered carbon-14 in 1940 in ...

In 1940 Martin Kamen discovered radioactive carbon-14 (an isotope of carbon) and found that it had a half-life of about 5,700 years. Scientists had also found that some of the nitrogen in the ...

Did you know that the C-14 rifle in the original StarCraft is not the same model used by the marines in StarCraft 2? Or that the rifle uses hypersonic spikes? All this and more is explained in a ...
