If wisdom comes with age, then brain cells are some of the wisest in the body: researchers have applied carbon dating to DNA to confirm that cells in the brain live longer than most others. This is a ...
Scientists have recorded a rare interaction between solar neutrinos and carbon for the first time. The result marks an ...
Radiocarbon dating may work on cement if there's organic material inside it. For rock, there are other processes, with limitations Radiocarbon dating has revolutionised the science of estimating the ...
Radioactive material gets a bad rap, what with radiation and fallout and nuclear waste and all. But it offers some practical uses. One of the coolest (OK, maybe the coolest) is using radioactive ...
Organic carbon decomposition in soil varies significantly and in regional patterns, driven in part by factors such as soil minerals and microbial properties that have been underrepresented in carbon ...
Forests are not about to save the planet from greenhouse effect by soaking up carbon dioxide. Under experimental conditions, extra doses of carbon dioxide encourage trees to grow faster. This has led ...
