Today, we celebrate the birthday of Arthur Jeffrey Dempster, who built the first modern mass spectrometer.

A mass spectrometer is a machine that uses radiation to separate and measure charged particles in a material or sample. It is widely used in both industry and academia, as well as the work of the IAEA
for research and development and for analysing and testing materials.

As Dempster’s machine was 100 times more accurate than its predecessors, it meant he now had a tool sensitive enough to help him discover uranium-235. U-235 is a naturally-occurring chemical element and one of the most widely used materials for nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is what happens inside of a nuclear reactor, which then produces heat that is transformed into energy.

Can artificial intelligence help us better understand and protect water resources?

The IAEA is exploring this through a Coordinated Research Project that combines AI and isotope hydrology to improve water resource management.

By integrating isotope data with machine learning, satellite observations, and environmental monitoring, scientists can gain deeper insights into groundwater systems, identify emerging trends, and support evidence-based decisions for sustainable water management.

As growing water demand puts increasing pressure on freshwater resources, innovative tools like AI can help improve how we monitor and manage this vital resource.
