Protons power protein portal to push zinc out of cells Protein, linked to type 2 diabetes, prevents zinc toxicity Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

While the protons compete with the zinc ions in the process of shuttling back and forth into the battery’s cathode materials — a process known as intercalation — the remaining hydroxide ...

The group now plans to search for other two-proton emitters. It will also study iron-45 and zinc-54 in more detail with a time projection chamber that will be able to follow the paths of the two ...

We selected a beam and a target material so that the sum of their protons gave 112: a zinc beam consisting of 30 protons and 40 neutrons was used to bombard lead target nuclei, composed of 82 ...

Zinc-82 has a nucleus consisting of 30 protons and 52 neutrons — many more than the 34 neutrons in the most common form of zinc. The challenge was isolating and measuring the rare isotope, most ...
