The alkaline earth metal strontium (38 Sr) has four stable, naturally occurring isotopes: 84 Sr (0.56%), 86 Sr (9.86%), 87 Sr (7.0%) and 88 Sr (82.58%). Its standard atomic weight is 87.62(1). Only 87 Sr is radiogenic ; it is produced by decay from the radioactive alkali metal 87 Rb , which has a half-life of 4.88 × 10 10 years (i.e. more than ...
Natural strontium is a mixture of four stable isotopes: 84 Sr, 86 Sr, 87 Sr, and 88 Sr. [11] On these isotopes, 88 Sr is the most abundant, makes up about 82.6% of all natural strontium, though the abundance varies due to the production of radiogenic 87 Sr as the daughter of long-lived beta-decaying 87 Rb. [22]
The age of a sample is determined by analysing several minerals within multiple subsamples from different parts of the original sample. The 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio for each subsample is plotted against its 87 Rb/ 86 Sr ratio on a graph called an isochron. If these form a straight line then the subsamples are consistent, and the age probably reliable.
While the difficulty of obtaining macroscopic samples of synthetic elements in part explains their high value, there has been interest in converting base metals to gold (Chrysopoeia) since ancient times, but only deeper understanding of nuclear physics has allowed the actual production of a tiny amount of gold from other elements for research ...

Dropping out of MIT, he secured $85 million from investors, including Sequioa's Shaun Maguire, who co-led a $5 million seed funding round, and Bedrock's managing partner Geoff Lewis who led a $79 ...
The cities along the proposed route also pushed to prohibit trucks over 4.5 short tons (4.1 t; 4.0 long tons) from using SR 85 (similar to the I-580 truck ban in Oakland and SR 2 truck ban in Angeles National Forest). [3] Thus, SR 85 became one of the handfuls of California freeways that do not allow such tractor semis.
