Master Isotope Table (Z = 1–118)


Known vs Predicted + Resonant Frequencies


This ledger shows for each element:

  • Known isotopes(experimentally observed)
  • Stable (strict)isotopes (per IUPAC; ultra-long-lived counted as radioactive)
  • Unstable isotopes(= Known − Stable)
  • Predicted isotopes(scaled to Neufcourt et al., 2020: total bound ≈ 7,759)
  • Gap(Predicted − Known)
  • Representative γ (keV)— a field-useful line for environmental / medical / industrial / calibration
  • Resonant f (Hz)— photon frequency for that line (f ≈ E[keV] × 2.418×10^17 Hz)

Totals: Known 3,269 | Stable (strict) 273 | Unstable 2,996 | Predicted 7,759 | Gap 4,490 | Scale factor 2.373509

Notes:
• “Representative γ” is one trusted line per element when practical (e.g., ¹³⁷Cs→¹³⁷mBa at 661.7 keV for Cs).
• Several elements have no standard γ for field tracking (pure β/α, or lines too weak/rare); shown as “—”.

Key terms in plain language

Open a term for a concise explanation of language used on this page.

Broadband

A general term for always-on, high-speed Internet access. Broadband can be delivered over fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless, cellular, or satellite networks.

Cloud Computing

Computing resources—such as applications, servers, storage, or databases—delivered from remote infrastructure and scaled as requirements change.

Cybersecurity

The practices and controls used to protect identities, devices, networks, applications, and data from unauthorized access, disruption, or manipulation.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

The systems and policies that determine who a user is, what resources they may access, and how that access is authenticated and reviewed.

API

An application programming interface is a defined way for software systems to exchange data or request functions from one another.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Software designed to perform tasks involving prediction, classification, generation, reasoning, or decision support. Business use still requires clear data, governance, security, and human accountability.
