The newly-discovered isotope, plutonium-227, has a half-life of 0.78 seconds, according to a team of physicists from China. The region of the nuclear chart 87≤Z≤97 and 112≤N≤136 shows the new isotope plutonium-227 (red star) and the 12 nuclides (blue star) that were discovered at the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Archaeologists excavating Tam Pà Ling (Cave of Monkeys) in northeastern Laos have recovered fossil evidence for some of the earliest Homo sapiens presence in mainland Southeast Asia.

Scientists have found a way to use electrodes to split seawater and turn it into hydrogen fuel. Normally this would create a corrosive and toxic chlorine gas byproduct. However, with this new method, researchers are able to generate clean fuel using electrolysis, while also removing the need to have pure water to do so cleanly.
Hydrogen-burning internal combustion engines hold immense potential in the battle against climate change. Their remarkable power is coupled with zero emissions of carbon, offering a compelling solution to reducing environmental impact. These engines are well-suited for heavy-duty trucks, buses, off-road and agricultural equipment, as well as backup power generators, providing a cleaner alternative to traditional
Two people died and more than two dozen were treated Thursday when a chemical leaked at a Houston-area industrial plant, officials said. A hydrogen sulfide leak was reported Thursday evening at a Pemex facility in the Houston suburb of Deer Park, the city said. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said workers were working on a
Paleontologists have identified a new genus and species of sauropod dinosaur from a semi-articulated specimen found in the 1990s in northern Wyoming, the United States.
