OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Sept. 26 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
"Determining isotopic ratios on single particles takes a lot of time," said ORNL's Benjamin Manard, who led the study. "Rapid particle analysis for fluorine and uranium isotopic determination is what we've enabled." His team combined two techniques to analyze 40 particles each about the size of a red blood cell in less than five minut . . .
