Rhinoisotopes, an effort to combat rhino poaching
South Africa, home to the world's largest rhino population, continues to attract criminals who poach them for the illegal trade in their horns, resulting in the loss of more than 10,000 rhinos in the last decade.Read moreIsotopes to fight climate change

By studying isotopes, scientists can discover the origin, age, quality and use of water, gathering data to protect this natural resource.Read moreApplication of isotopes in medicine
Nuclear medicine uses different types of isotopes for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The choice of these is conditioned by the need for them to be non-toxic, have an ideal type of radioactive emission, low energy and a short half-life, so that the absorbed dose is small. Their elimination must be rapid so that the time they remain in the organism is not prolonged.Read moreApplication of isotopes in industry and technology

Forgery can be a very lucrative criminal activity. So the authenticity of a work of art is crucial in determining its historical and economic value. One of the first steps is to know its history, identify the artist and place it in a particular period. To do this, some more advanced and precise techniques can be applied to verify its authenticity, such as the use of radioactive isotopes, especially carbon-14, whose technique is known as radiocarbon dating.Read morePredicting the future of glaciers with a nuclear application

Traditionally, the music was played with violins, trombones and the poor little triangle guy who gets ignored in an opera house. Then came some guys with long hair, leather jackets, and electric guitars. Now, some hipsters with horn-rimmed glasses and misplaced headphones take the melodies from a PC. And what's next? The radioactive orchestra that […]Read moreNuclear techniques to combat ocean acidification
