Astronomers have counted the number of neutrons inside carbon atoms from 2.8 quadrillion km away. The team managed to measure the ratios of carbon isotopes in the atmosphere of an exoplanet for the ...

James Webb observations detect warm carbon monoxide gas in the inner disk of HD 131488, revealing non-equilibrium conditions and evidence of exocomet-driven gas replenishment near the star.

Geologists doing fieldwork in southeastern Utah's Cedar Mountain Formation found carbon isotope evidence that the site, though on land, experienced the same early Cretaceous carbon-cycle change ...

Large prehistoric marine reptiles known as mosasaurs dominated the oceans until their extinction 66 million years ago.

The size of the tooth testifies to an impressive creature that could grow up to 11 metres long. Reconstruction by Christopher DiPiazza For over a hundred years, mosasaurs have captured the scientific ...

Mosasaurs are best known as fearsome marine reptiles that ruled the oceans at the end of the dinosaur era. But new research ...

Radiocarbon dating, or carbon-14 dating, is a scientific method that can accurately determine the age of organic materials as old as approximately 60,000 years. First developed in the late 1940s at ...

Dedicated at the University of Chicago on October 10, 2016. In 1946, Willard Libby proposed an innovative method for dating organic materials by measuring their content of carbon-14, a newly ...
