Scientists have developed a new simple, inexpensive and fast method to analyze sulfur isotopes, which can be used to help investigate chemical changes in environments such as oceans, and freshwater ...

Measurements of five sulfur isotopes in sulfate aerosol, sulfur dioxide, and coal samples from China suggest that sulfate aerosols enriched in 33S are produced by photochemical reactions in the ...

Scientists have long used information from sediments at the bottom of the ocean to reconstruct the conditions in oceans of the past. But a study raises concerns about the common use of pyrite sulfur ...

A research team led by Prof. SHEN Yan'an from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made significant progress in studying the sources and formation mechanisms of haze. Through ...

Ancient sediments that once resided on a lake bed and the ocean floor show sulfur isotope ratios unlike those found in other samples from the same time, calling into question accepted ideas about when ...

A study utilizing ALMA observations of Io's atmosphere reveals a significant depletion of lighter sulfur isotopes, suggesting extensive and prolonged volcanic activity throughout its 4.57 billion-year ...

The analysis shows that volcanic material in the sample contains sulfur compounds that are highly depleted of sulfur-33 (or 33S), one of four radioactively stable sulfur isotopes. The depleted 33S ...

New isotopic evidence is rewriting the story of Earth's first continents. Imagine the planet nearly 3.8 billion years ago: a ...

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — A University of Maryland-led team of scientists has discovered that diamonds can be natural time capsules, preserving information about the cycling of sulfur between Earth’s crust, ...

American geologist and astronaut Harrison Hagan Schmitt takes rock samples from the surface of the moon during America's last lunar landing mission of the 20th century, Apollo 17, December 1972.
