Helium-3, a rare isotope of helium gas, is leaking out of Earth's core, a new study reports. Because almost all helium-3 is from the Big Bang, the gas leak adds evidence that Earth formed inside a ...

Edit 2: Whoa... they figured out how to calculate the spectra difference between isotopes in light elements, specifically Lithium (they call it Lithium I and Lithium II, which I believe correlate to ...
