| Among the commonly known alpha emitters are various isotopes of polonium, radium, thorium, uranium and all of the transuranium elements. |
| The instrument is able to measure isotopes at the individual atom level and does so by generating millions of volts of electricity. |
| Similar damage is caused by the alpha recoil, which is a trace of the energy released during the alpha decay of uranium and thorium isotopes. |
| Although many nuclei can be fused, this subject normally refers to fusion of hydrogen isotopes deuterium or tritium to form helium. |
| Atoms of an element that have the same atomic number but a different atomic weight are referred to as isotopes. |
| Lasers have also revolutionized the separation of chemical isotopes, which had otherwise been extremely difficult, if not impossible. |
