A team of researchers has compiled the first and only evidence that narwhals and beluga whales can breed successfully. DNA and stable isotope analysis of an anomalous skull from the Natural History Museum of Denmark has allowed researchers to confirm the existence of a narwhal-beluga hybrid.

Rocks aged 3.24 billion years reveal the Earth may have had absolutely no surface land at at least one point in its early history. The rock samples contain oxygen isotopes consistent with an entirely oceanic environment, suggesting that Earth was once composed of one giant, globe-spanning ocean. inverse.com/science/3-bil…

Ellen Gleditsch was a Norwegian radiochemist and Norway's second female professor. Starting her career as an assistant to Marie Curie, she became a pioneer in radiochemistry, establishing the half-life of radium and helping demonstrate the existence of isotopes.

I picked up this lovely little bottle at the thrift store yesterday. The yellow colour is so bright, and it glows yellow under UV (cadmium?)! Doing a bit of searching, and I think it’s a mold-blown apothecary bottle, dating back from possibly the mid 1800’s!

[self] I’m pretty psyched. I just ordered some tritium to make the top of my staff glow. For those of you who don’t know. Tritium is an isotope that keeps glowing for 10 to 15 years without any power source. It’s completely luminescent!!! Can’t wait to show you updated pictures!!!

Is there a better way to get large quantities of Cadmium/Emeril/Indium rather than having to land on planets in Red/Green/Blue star systems and mine for them?
These are some of the few resources where I don't have a stack of 9999 for each because having to find them on planets and mine for them can take a while, and you can't buy them.
I've tried placing Activated versions of each of these elements in the refiner but that gives me Chromatic Metal in-return. Might there be a combination in the refiner, or any other method to get hold of large quantites of these elements?

It seems Bob Lazar DID state the isotope of 115.
There are a few people who have queried why Bob Lazar knows the atomic number of the spacecraft "fuel" (number of protons - 115), but never mentions the mass number (protons + neutrons). This information would be useful because the theory of an island of stability is predicated on getting the number of protons and neutrons correct - thus far, all isotopes of 115 produced are unstable.
Well, there is a diary of Joe Vaninetti (one of Bob's close friends circa 1989) online. This diary notes down information Bob appears to have offered over 8 or so months. This diary states that the atomic weight of 115 is 271.
This would put the number of neutrons at 156. This is basically as far away from the theorized magic neutron numbers of 126 and 184 as you could get. If a 115 sample is to be stable, it is assumed that the neutron shells will be closed at a neutron number of 184. Of course, humans may be way off with our theories on the island of stability...
