Carbon dating is an important scientific method used to determine the age of archaeological finds, fossils, and other organic materials. Mass spectrometry is a key component of carbon dating, and it has revolutionized our understanding of the past.
The principle behind carbon dating is simple. All living creatures on earth contain a small amount of a radioactive isotope called carbon-14. When an organism dies, it stops absorbing carbon-14, and the amount remaining in its tissues begins to decay at a predictable rate. By measuring the amount of carbon-14 remaining in a sample, scientists can determine how many years have elapsed since the organism died.
This technique has been used to push back the timeline of human evolution, refine the dating of ancient human settlements, and provide insight into the climate and environmental conditions of the past. Key to the success of carbon dating is the use of mass spectrometry to accurately measure the ratios of carbon-12 and carbon-14 in a sample.
