Baobab trees are some of the oldest trees on Earth, making them valuable allies in climate change research. By carbon dating tree samples using a particle accelerator, scientists can create a historical record to validate their climate change predictions. #Atoms4Climate

Today we celebrate the birthdays of two physicists: Bertram B. Boltwood and Friedrich Ernst Dorn! Boltwood laid the theoretical foundation for the concept of isotopes while Dorn's experiments uncovered clues about a gas coming from radium compounds, later identified as Radon.

Sufficient uranium resources exist. However, investments are needed to sustain high nuclear energy growth, according to the latest @OECD_NEA and IAEA joint report. Have you read our latest findings? atoms.iaea.org/4clum9U
