They found that protons, fired from the particle accelerator, formed Sc isotopes when using titanium oxide targets. Shaun Loveless, agraduate studentin the Lapi lab, also developed a purification scheme—target titanium oxide was dissolved in acid and ammonium bifluoride and poured through an ion ex...
the branches' sieve-like membranes began to stick to the walls, reducing the filter's permeance, or ability to allow water to flow through. The filters also appeared to "self-block" over time, building
