It is that time of the month again. Spotlight on the physical sciences time, in conjunction with my colleagues at the intuitive portal Intute.
This month’s round-up includes the latest on the problem of stump exposure and glaciation in a globally warming world, elemental discoveries and the isotopic heavyweights, and a video interview with the researchers behind the discovery.
In the video, Dave Morrissey discusses why knowing what isotopes exist for the elements is important to our understanding of nature and how they might be made artificially in the laboratory.
